Enabling Investors to Make Informed Investment Decisions

SIX Swiss Exchange has been co-editor of the Guide since 2013 and contributes to an interesting publication. In his welcome address, Christian Reuss, Head SIX Swiss Exchange, highlights the role of the exchange, which has ensured capital raising on the primary market and price discovery on the secondary market at all times, despite the recent challenges. With a focus on the ESG topic, he also shows how the Swiss stock exchange enables investors to make informed investment decisions.

Great Choice on the Swiss Stock Exchange

In his interview, André Buck, Global Head Sales & Relationship Management and member of the Executive Board of SIX Swiss Exchange, looks back on the past months. Despite declining trading volumes, historic milestones have already been reached in 2022 and numerous new issuers with innovative products have been welcomed, significantly increasing the number of financial products available. As a result, the Swiss stock exchange offers investors even more diversity with over 50,000 structured products and more than 1,600 ETFs.

QOD: Additional Liquidity-pool for ETF Trading

André Buck also talks about the benefits and development to date of “Quote-on-Demand” (QOD). This groundbreaking innovation of the Swiss Exchange combines classic quote-driven trading in the public order book with a request-for-quote service in an additional order book – including settlement via CCP, which minimizes counterparty risks.

In another interview, Gazmend Maliqi, Head of the Swiss Index Operations Team at SIX, talks about Switzerland's flagship benchmark, the SMI, as well as other indices, including those with an ESG focus.
