Hornblower Fischer


Broadvision vor Aufnahme in S&P Datum : 17.10.2000
Zeit :12:43


Endlich mal eine gute Nachricht für die Besitzer der Broadvision (WKN
901599) Aktie, berichten die Analysten von Hornblower Fischer.
Der Hersteller von E-Commerce Software werde in den S&P500 aufgenommen.
Wegen der Übernahme des Brokerhauses PaineWebber durch die schweizerische
UBS Warburg werde im wichtigsten amerikanischen Börsenindex ein Platz
frei. Diesen Platz solle nach Willen von S&P Broadvision am 23. Oktober
nach Handelsschluss übernehmen.

Dies seien gute Nachrichten für Broadvision, denn der S&P500 werde von
vielen Fonds als Benchmark benutzt. Manche Indexfonds würden sogar
komplett nur aus den Indexaktien bestehen. Das bedeute, dass Broadvision
von vielen Fondsmanager am 23. Oktober gekauft werden müsse. Investoren
würden diese Zusatznachfrage antizipieren und die Aktie kaufen. So könne
Broadvison bereits im Vorfeld der Aufnahme in den S&P500 profitieren.
