Despite a rocky period for one of its investments over the summer, Deutsche Börse plans to make further forays into solving fixed income liquidity in the future, and may look to offer trading in shares of private companies, as it seeks to build on its IPO mentoring service, according to one of its senior executives.

Speaking to Financial News in Frankfurt in October, Martin Reck, managing director for cash markets at the German exchange group, said that while he expected the structure of fixed income markets to change, Deutsche Börse aims to play a role in that future.
