SMI/ The Swiss Market Index

The Index for Switzerland’s Blue-Chip Equity Market

The Swiss Stock Exchange Barometer

For more than 30 years, customers from around the world have relied on the SMI as the baseline value for their index funds, mandates, ETFs, structured products, index derivatives and more.

The SMI covers around 80% of the Swiss equity market and is a strong indicator of Swiss economic success. 20 of Switzerland’s largest and most liquid companies are listed on the SMI, and three of its listed companies are in the top five highest capitalized companies in Europe.

Fully compliant with ESMA UCITS guidelines, the SMI also serves as a reference index for the Swiss market within the EU.
