FINANCIAL CENTRE REPORT 2017 Building Bridges 2 Financial Centre Report 2017 3 FINANCIAL CENTRE REPORT 2017 Building Bridges 2 Financial Centre Report 2017 3 Dear Readers, Just a few months ago, the federal state of Hessen celebrated its 70th anniversary. In the course of these seven decades, Frankfurt am Main has gradually become the most important financial centre in 1585FRANKFURT STOCK continental Europe. Frankfurt is where the European Central Bank (ECB), the European Insurance and Occupational Pensions Authority (EIOPA), the Deutsche Bundesbank, the Federal Financial Supervi- sory Authority (BaFin) and the Federal Agency for Financial Market Stabilisation (FMSA) are all based, EXCHANGE FOUNDED making it a centre of supervision and regulation for the whole of the EU. Even during the financial crisis, Frankfurt fared better than other financial hubs and perhaps even grew stronger compared to its rivals. Nonetheless, like the financial industry as a whole, Frankfurt now faces a plethora of challenges. I would like to take this opportunity to home in on two of these, the first being digitisation. The rapid advance- ment of digitisation is forcing not only the financial sector to redesign its processes at ever-decreasing intervals and to fundamentally overhaul its business processes or indeed business models. Frankfurt as a financial centre has to seize this challenge as an opportunity, and the creation of TechQuartier sent out a strong signal that it is doing precisely that. The aim of TechQuartier is to serve as the central platform for the development of a fintech ecosystem, with the financial community, related technology fields and local academic institutions coming together to put Frankfurt on the global map in this emergent sector. 2017 The fact that the federal government has named Frankfurt one of five digital hubs can be marked up as the initiative’s first success and is a valuable boost for us. FOCUS ON The second key issue is, of course, the UK’s decision to exit the EU, which will undoubtedly lead to a reshuffle in Europe’s financial structure. This was not a decision that the Hessen state government wan- ted, but as it has now been made, what matters now is that here, too, we focus on the opportunities this offers Frankfurt as a financial hub. Many international financial service companies that had until now been handling their European business out of London will now have to look for bases within the EU. EUROPE The European Banking Authority (EBA) will likewise need to relocate. Frankfurt is competing with other financial hubs in this respect, and the key to this competition is Frankfurt having a clearly audible voice as a financial centre. Frankfurt Main Finance is this voice, and this yearbook demonstrates that it is backed up by sufficient substance to confidently rise to the chal- lenges and changes. I hope you find reading this yearbook interesting and informative. Best regards, Tarek Al-Wazir Hessian Minister of Economics, Energy, Transport and Regional Development Building Bridges 4 Financial Centre Report 2017 5 CONTENT Preface 3 4 Editorial Frankfurt after Brexit 6 Building Bridges 16 Science and Education Dear Readers, International, Interdisciplinary, Attractive Fintech 22 Tough Business, not Party 27 History The UK’s decision to leave the EU shocked more than just the world of finance.

And we don’t even have “We love the Mentality here” to look across the Atlantic – a look at France or the Netherlands or consideration of Poland or Hungary is more than enough for us to see that the idea of Europe hasn’t been in such a precarious state for a 36 Infographic long time. Focus on European Financial Centres Interview with Dr Gertrud Traud 40 It would therefore be totally inappropriate to indulge in short-sighted excitement about what oppor- “Frankfurt needs to be more confident” tunities Brexit and the possible resultant relocation of financial activities to the continent might offer Frankfurt and other cities. It is far more important that Europe be rethought and given new meaning in 48 The German Economy and Brexit the light of these developments. And as a main financial centre in Europe’s biggest economy, Frankfurt Still Strong, Despite All Challenges has a special role to play here. Regulation and Supervision 53 The Proximity Principle This Financial Centre Report, which continues the series of Frankfurt Main Finance Yearbooks, intends to shine a light on this role: how will Europe stay strong in the face of global competition? What 56 Property Markets role will Frankfurt assume in this network? What strengths do Frankfurt and Germany as a whole bring Frankfurt Will Benefit From Brexit – But How Much? to the table?

I feel pain about this because plastic bags are damag- ing to the environment. The use of plastic bags represents a serious envi- ronmental problem, as they are made from materials that do not degrade and remain buried in the environ- ment for many years and often end up in the rivers and oceans. Even in the case of burning them, plastic bags pose a threat as they emit chemical compounds in the form of a black cloud that leads to air pollution which negatively affects human health and increases global warming and climate change. I believe that we need to completely eliminate the consumption of plas- tic bags. Some countries in the world began to ban the man- ufacture, import or use of plastic bags.

  • Metzler Bank Anticipates a Trend with FIX-Protocol from Swissrisk
    M E D I A R E L E A S E Metzler Bank anticipates a trend with FIX-Protocol from Swissrisk Frankfurt, 24 May 2007 – Swissrisk Financial Systems, European banking software specialists, announces Metzler Bank has gone live using the X-Gen FIX-Protocol solution, “FIX-STP” - satisfying both clients and MiFID – and becomes one of the first equities brokers in Germany/Austria/Switzerland to offer FIX-Protocol connectivity. Thomas Nolten, Head of Equity Trading, Metzler explained: ”Our clients confirmed to us that there is a real need for innovative solutions for the optimisation of trading services. Moreover there are indications FIX will become a standard in Germany similar to the U.S., so we decided to anticipate this trend and gain a lead over our competitors.” FIX-STP is powered by X-Gen, the business process engine for financial messaging and STP. At Metzler, the bank’s traditional Order Management System, MERIAN, could not automatically read FIX- messages. Now X-Gen transforms order and order change requests to a format that MERIAN can understand. Stefan Ellmer, Head of IT, Metzler adds: “Using X-Gen, we can convert standard formats like FIX or SWIFT to XML. And if we need to make modifications, e.g. new client entries or new standards, we can easily adapt via X-Gen, without having to reprogram our system.” Metzler optimized their trading processes by combining FIX-Protocol with an STP solution to automate order workflow, leaving open the possibility of human intervention where necessary. Ellmer remarked: “With the combined capability of X-Gen and FIX-Protocol to automate trading processes, we are able to manage complex data flows and handle exceptions more efficiently and more rapidly than ever before.

  • A Note on Sources
    A Note on Sources Transactional data It took considerable research to put together the tables for this book. The volume of information to be captured has of course exploded in recent years, with 2007 taking the record for the most private equity related transactions. But the most difficult tables to research were those in earlier years. During the period 1984–1995 the biggest challenge was that many of today’s current M&A news services were not active, including merger market and initiative Europe’s Deutsche Unquote. For more recent years, reliance on these two sources would provide approximately 80% coverage of the transactions. The next challenge is that a number of the early players in the 1984–1995 period are no longer in operation, and consequently have no internet pages or latter- day coverage. Consequently, for the early years we have had to give greater reliance on information from interviews which may not be as complete as for later years. Confirmation of information gained in inter- views has been mainly achieved (where possible) through consulting the “history” sections of the internet pages of the companies involved. For the more recent years we were greatly assisted by having access to Bain & Company’s collection of the buyout data for the period 1996–2003, and L.E.K. Consulting’s data for period 2002–2009. An additional useful source for the period 1998–2003 were the tables from Nico Reimers’ “Private Equity für Familienunternehmen”. We have included in our tables transactions closed in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. Various terms are used to define this region, most notably “German-speaking region” or “DACH” (based upon car licence plate abbreviations for the three countries).
