Dr Martin Reck, Managing Director Cash Market at Deutsche Börse AG, said: 'We welcome Van Eck Global as a new issuer in our ETF segment on Xetra, the ETF trading venue with the highest liquidity and turnover in Europe. The two new ETFs enhance our product offering and provide good value investment opportunities in global gold mining companies.'

Lars Hamich, Managing Director of Van Eck Global (Europe) GmbH, added: 'We are pleased to offer our customers innovative products and trading flexibility. Our two gold mining ETFs are already the largest ETFs of their asset class in the US. It was important for us to launch a UCITS version of the fund in order to give investors worldwide the choice between UCITS and US '40 Act funds. With the Xetra listing, our customers are now also able to choose between the trading currencies US dollar and euro.'

The product offering in Deutsche Börse's XTF segment currently comprises a total of 1,070 exchange traded funds. This selection, together with an average monthly trading volume of around €13 billion, makes Xetra Europe's leading trading venue for ETFs.
