Deutsche Bank X-markets increased its share of the German retail structured products market during the first three months of 2010 according to a report by the German derivative association confirming its No.1 position in the industry.
 
Deutsche Bank was the No.1 issuer in seven of the 14 categories including derivative securities, investment products, leverage products, warrants, express certificates, discount certificates, and index and participation certificates. It ranked top 5 in every other category.

Two investment products that were particularly popular during 1Q 2010 according to the German derivative association, Deutsche Derivate Verband, were leverage products and discount certificates.

Deutsche Bank dominated the market in both, accounting for 30.6% of leverage issuance and 24% of discount certificate issuance.

Another area where Deutsche Bank performed particularly strongly was warrants where it had a 30% market share, 6% more than the second placed house.

The results confirm db-X, Global Markets’ investment products platform, as the leading player in the German retail structured products market.

Last year, it was voted the most innovative provider of retail investment products globally by The Banker magazine.
