Knowledge Hub

The Knowledge Hub answers practical questions from people working in finance: how professionals construct portfolios, calculate fund value and use investment systems, as well as what MiCA regulates or how clearing works. Each answer names its sources and the rules in Germany, Austria and Switzerland.

Many of the supervisors these answers name are based in Frankfurt: the ECB, the Bundesbank, EIOPA, AMLA and one of the two BaFin offices. The city also connects investment firms to the markets and post-trade infrastructure of Deutsche Börse.
