Xetra vs frankfurt stock exchange

There is a price difference since My understanding is that ETR is a trading system, called XETRA while the old one, FRA referes to the price on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange. It's the same stock and price differences between such major exchanges will always be minimal.

Frankfurt Stock Exchange - Wikipedia

According to Wikipedia , the trading on Frankfort Stock Exchange is done today exclusively via Xetra platform, thus the volume on ETR: DAI is much more important than on FRA: According to their web-page, Frankfort exchange has a Specialist Trading on Frankfurt Floor service which has slightly different trading hours.

To answer your question, the stock you're having is exactly the same, meaning if you bought an ETR: BMW you can still sell it on FRA by calling a FRA Trading Floor Specialist which will probably cost you a fee. On the other hand, for the portfolio valuation and performance assessments you should only use ETR: BMW prices, because it is way more liquid, and thus better reflect the current market valuation.
