Trading and capital raised strong, NZX Data in
demand - NZX Metrics
02 October 2007 - NZX released the September and Q3
Operating Metrics today, with average daily trades up
22% in the month and 12% in the third quarter.
Average daily value traded was up 4% in Q3 and total
value traded was $9.2 billion, a 3% increase on the
same period last year.
Total capital raised is up 7% on the third quarter
last year, now over $3 billion year to date. The
breakdown of this total capital raised figure is $1.82
billion of equity and $1.24 billion of debt.
NZX Head of Markets Geoff Brown said, "This is a
strong set of metrics, with trade numbers and total
capital raised up significantly on 2006. The NZX 50
climbed 1% over the third quarter, despite market
conditions, and is up 19% since this time last year
and 5% year to date.
"NZX Data is increasingly in demand, there are
now 9,965 NZX real-time Data terminals in use world
wide, compared with 8,882 this time last year, a 12%
increase.
"We're also seeing evidence of uptake of a
broader range of market products by investors. In the
third quarter we saw a 107% increase in the number of
instalment warrant trades with $28 million
traded."
Smartshares now has $591 million funds under
management, a 28% increase on the same time last year
with 15,372 unit holders across the five funds.
The NZX Operating Metrics are released on the first
Tuesday of every month and are available on the NZX
website.
