Let's get back to trading!
One year of LuxXPrime!
Tomorrow marks the 1st anniversary of our trading window – LuxXPrime! Despite an intense and volatile period, we are happy to be back with a new edition of our newsletter and celebrate LuxXPrime’s achievements and developments over the past 12 months with you all. On this special occasion, we would also like to thank our trading members for choosing and trusting LuxSE. Together, we have made the last twelve months a period of growth, learning and of course – retail-sized trading!
Congratulations are in order!
One year of LuxXPrime shows that the combination of the listing tradition of LuxSE and the trading expertise of EUWAX AG is working very well. In LuxXPrime we are providing liquidity, also for retail-sized trades, in the current difficult and illiquid bond market environment. We are pleased that the product universe in LuxXPrime has now been expanded to around 1,000 bonds. Among others, foreign currency bonds and covered bonds have been added, and the number of green bonds has also increased.

Despite challenging times, volatile markets, and unprecedented uncertainty for investors, the industry experts at LuxSE and EUWAX’s have worked well together to offer private and professional investors competitive spreads, firm prices and the highest quality retail-sized trading in fixed-income securities. It has been an exciting year and we are convinced that this is only the beginning. We sincerely thank all customers and business partners for choosing LuxXPrime, and we look forward to adding new functionalities and enhance our offering in the coming year!

LuxXPrime at a glance
LuxXPrime is a window on the trading platform of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange (LuxSE), dedicated to retail-sized bond trading, and was launched in September 2019. What started off as a limited selection of 260 securities has now expanded and counts more than 1,000 securities, including 160 green, social and sustainability bonds.
To secure firm prices, competitive spreads and liquidity on LuxXPrime, LuxSE teamed up with EUWAX AG, a subsidiary of Börse Stuttgart, which acts as the Prime Liquidity Provider. In this way, LuxXPrime meets the needs of brokers, asset managers and investors who are looking for attractive prices for smaller-sized trades in fixed-income securities.

Part 2: Discover Europe’s first sovereign sustainability bond!
In this second edition, we’re zooming in on Europe’s first sovereign sustainability bond issued by the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg. The EUR 1.5bn bond carries a AAA rating and was listed on LuxSE and displayed on the Luxembourg Green Exchange (LGX) earlier this month. The proceeds of the bond will finance and refinance social and environmental projects, such as the electric public transportation service Luxtram and the country’s second largest hospital Südspidol.
The sustainability bond was issued under the new Sustainability Bond Framework established by the Luxembourg Government. This framework is aligned with the highest international standards and best market practice in the field of sustainable finance.

New functionalities on LuxXPrime website
In order to help you access the data you need to diversify your investment portfolios, LuxSE has reviewed the LuxXPrime website and will soon offer you easy access to even more structured and up-to-date data.
