How does this service support compliance and risk management?

The Sanctions Monitoring Service of SIX helps proactively identify financial instruments affected by international sanctions. With daily updates and clear listings, institutions can respond quickly to legal changes, avoid violations, and demonstrate internal control to regulators—reducing both legal and operational risk.

Why is sanctions compliance important?

Beyond the ethical imperative of avoiding links to terrorism or criminal activity, financial institutions must also consider the regulatory consequences of non-compliance. Regulatory bodies can impose significant fines, which can also lead to reputational damage.

What types of sanctions and securities does SIX monitor?

The service covers sanctions issued by global bodies such as the UN, European Union, OFAC (U.S.), UK, Hong Kong, and others. It includes both issuers and financial instruments , and detects direct and indirect exposures —such as through ETFs, funds, or structured products.

How often is the data updated in response to global sanctions changes?

The data is updated daily , with intra-day updates for selected sanctions regimes, ensuring continuous access to the most current information on sanctioned issuers and securities. This frequency supports fast decision-making and minimizes exposure to newly imposed sanctions.

Can the service be customized to meet specific compliance needs?

Yes . SIX offers customization options to align with each client’s internal compliance requirements. Data can be delivered in various formats and integrated into existing systems and workflows. It’s also possible to set up specific filters based on jurisdiction, instrument type, or sanction type.

Sanctions Screening Across Funds and Financial Instruments

Detect Sanctions Exposure in ETFs and Funds

Sanctions compliance requires more than KYC—fund transparency is crucial. Many financial institutions can’t see which securities are inside the funds they trade, risking exposure to sanctioned components. Even if a fund issuer is approved, the fund itself may contain high-risk, illiquid assets linked to sanctions, leading to fines or frozen investments.

The SSMS Funds Module scans over 12,500 ETFs and 200,000 funds (as of H2 2026) to detect sanctioned securities, even within multi-layered holdings. It provides clear, readable reports showing each tainted component, its weight, jurisdiction, and the relevant sanction order. This allows firms to manage risk, stay compliant, and trade funds with confidence.

Securities Linked to Trade Restrictions and Watchlists

The Restriction Lists module from SIX provides a data-driven view of securities linked to individuals or entities on these lists and connects issuing entities with their directly issued financial instruments, as well as those with indirect links via structured products, futures, and options. While securities linked to entities on import/export watch lists and red-flag lists are not subject to explicit sanctions, firms could face additional reputational risk by trading in issuance linked to a targeted entity. The Restriction Lists module gives firms a more multi-dimensional view of their risk exposure.

Marijuana-Related Business (MRB) Securities Watchlist

Some investors wish to avoid investing in marijuana-related businesses (MRBs) altogether, or at least want to be able to make risk-based decisions on investing in such companies. Since MRBs operate in a wide array of sectors, it is hard for banks to maintain an overview in the interest of their investor clients. SIX supports banks with its MRB Securities Watchlist, which lists MRBs and their issued securities, as well as structured products and options based on those securities. As of H2 2026, approximately 400 companies and 100,000 financial instruments are on the watchlist.

Sanctions

Many regulators establish economic sanctions lists of countries, persons and entities when they consider business should not be done with them because of their involvement in terrorism, money laundering, criminal activities, frauds, war financing, etc.

It is important for economic stakeholders, and financial institutions in particular, to understand this information for their AML/KYC* processes. But this information is not enough: financial institutions also need to screen securities to make sure that while investing in these they are not entering into a business relationship with these sanctioned bodies and individuals. Based on each regulator’s rule, they need to clearly identify tainted financial instruments in order to safely invest in “clean ones”.

*Anti-Money Laundering/Know Your Customer

Historically, sell-side institutions were primarily responsible for sanctions screening. They have the obligation to advise their clients and invest for them in a suitable way, be it in equities, bonds or structured products.

E.O. 13959, as amended, expanded the importance of securities-level sanctions screening for investment managers by applying restrictions to certain publicly traded securities and financial instruments designed to provide investment exposure to them. OFAC guidance specifically addresses instruments including ETFs, index funds and mutual funds.

OFAC — E.O. 13959 FAQs

SIX helps financial institutions identify how sanctions affect specific entities and financial instruments through its Sanctioned Securities Monitoring Service (SSMS), first launched in 2016.

Sanctions lists alone do not always provide enough information to determine which securities are affected, creating significant additional work for compliance teams. SSMS addresses this by linking sanctioned entities to relevant financial instruments and providing the applicable sanctions regime and rationale.

Since its launch, SIX has expanded SSMS to cover additional sanctions regimes, with Japan as the most recent addition, and has introduced optional datasets such as Cluster Munitions and Marijuana-Related Business (MRB) Securities.

The service provides human-readable information on sanctioned entities and securities and has received multiple industry awards across major financial centres.

SIX links sanctioned entities to relevant securities by combining sanctions data, beneficial ownership information and financial instrument reference data.

Some relationships are straightforward, such as the listed shares of a sanctioned company. Others are more complex and may involve individuals, holding companies, subsidiaries, joint ventures or other ownership structures.

To identify these relationships, SIX combines beneficial ownership analysis from Moody's Analytics with SIX identification capabilities, including LEI and ISIN data, and computational capabilities from Cetrel Securities.

Sanctions lists are processed according to the applicable regulator's rules, including ownership rules such as OFAC's 50 Percent Rule. This enables SIX to provide lists of affected entities and financial instruments together with the rationale for their inclusion.

The full methodology and workflow are described in the SSMS factsheet available on this page.

For every security in our lists, a rationale is provided explaining why it is “tainted”. Our service uses official regulators’ rules to ensure the consistency of our lists. The computed information is also reviewed by a dedicated team of analysts. Ultimately, if you disagree with the information we provide, our service offers you a challenge capability: you send us your challenge and our analysts will review the calculations and provide you with quick feedback. We are very cautious when considering securities in scope; for instance, when a company is sanctioned, in many cases, related securities are “tainted” only after the go-live of the executive order and securities issued before that date remain out of scope. SSMS has received multiple industry awards for sanctions, AML and compliance capabilities.

False positives are a common challenge in sanctions screening. In some cases it is very easy to mix up homonyms and associate the wrong ownership with a specific sanction. That’s why we conduct a thorough analysis of official sanctions lists and use SIX's identification capabilities to associate sanctions with the correct entities or individuals.

SSMS offers a Flash Mail service: as soon as a new sanction is announced (meaning before becoming effective), our teams carry out a thorough analysis to assess its impact. The results and their explanation are then sent immediately to our clients so they can prepare before the actual go-live. This service is highly valued as it facilitates timely compliance.

Indirect sanctions exposure often arises through complex ownership structures, fund compositions, or structured issuance models where the sanctioned entity is not the visible issuer.

Identifying this exposure requires linking sanctions lists with underlying ownership data and tracing relationships between entities and their issued instruments. Institutions must go beyond surface-level screening and incorporate deeper data analysis to detect hidden connections that may otherwise remain undetected. SIX also captures hidden exposure, for example in debt instruments issued by a non-sanctioned issuer that funnel money back to a sanctioned entity via ultimate borrower or guarantor relationships.

Ultimate beneficial ownership is important in sanctions screening because sanctions exposure may arise through ownership and control relationships that are not visible from the issuing entity alone.

Financial institutions therefore need to examine ownership chains and control structures to determine whether an instrument may fall within the scope of applicable sanctions because of its underlying economic relationships.

As of H2 2026, SIX supports this analysis by linking sanctions data with a UBO database covering more than 400 million entities and 150 million beneficial owners, together with its reference data. This helps institutions identify relationships between sanctioned parties, connected entities and the financial instruments associated with them.

Multi-layer investment structures, such as funds-of-funds or ETFs holding other funds, can obscure exposure to sanctioned securities several layers below the surface. Without look-through capabilities, asset managers may unknowingly hold restricted instruments within diversified portfolios. This complexity requires systematic tracing of holdings across multiple levels to assess true exposure and ensure compliance. SIX performs three-level look-through analysis to capture hidden exposure.

Traditional screening methods that rely on matching entity names against sanctions lists fail to capture indirect exposure arising from ownership structures, subsidiaries, and financial instruments. In today’s environment, sanctions risk is often embedded in relationships rather than explicitly visible in issuer names, making more advanced data-driven approaches essential for effective compliance.

Name-based screening is the starting point for linking sanctioned issuers to their issued securities. However, regulators do not always explicitly name issuers, for example in sectoral or domicile-based programs.

SIX goes further by identifying indirect relationships through ultimate borrowers, options, structured products, funds and ETFs that have exposure to sanctioned securities.

Sanctioned entities may use alternative issuance structures, such as shell companies or offshore vehicles, to access capital markets while concealing their involvement. In such cases, the issuing entity may appear compliant, while the ultimate borrower or beneficiary is sanctioned. Detecting these risks requires linking issuance structures to the underlying economic entity and analyzing prospectus-level information and ownership relationships.

Sanctions are increasingly viewed not just as a regulatory obligation but as a source of financial risk. Even where investments remain technically legal, exposure to entities on watchlists or trade restrictions can lead to volatility, liquidity constraints, or potential future designation. This shift is driving institutions to integrate sanctions analysis into broader portfolio risk frameworks.

Asset managers must navigate rapidly changing sanctions regimes, complex ownership structures, and growing volumes of financial instruments across multiple jurisdictions. The increasing use of indirect holdings and subsidiaries to circumvent sanctions makes monitoring more difficult, requiring scalable and automated systems to maintain continuous oversight.

The volume and complexity of sanctions data have exceeded what can be managed through manual processes. Automated monitoring systems enable firms to process large datasets, identify relationships between entities and instruments, and update exposure in real time. This improves both accuracy and efficiency, while reducing the risk of human error in compliance workflows.

Shifts in geopolitical dynamics and trade policies can rapidly expand the scope of sanctions, affecting entire sectors or regions. Companies that are not currently sanctioned may become restricted due to policy changes, creating immediate exposure risks for investors. This unpredictability requires institutions to continuously monitor regulatory developments and assess their impact on existing portfolios.

Regulators are placing increasing emphasis on transparency in investment structures and expect institutions to identify indirect exposure within funds and structured products. Multi-level look-through capabilities allow firms to trace exposure from top-level investments down to individual securities, ensuring a comprehensive understanding of sanctions risk across complex portfolios.

SIX monitors indirect ownership by linking sanctions data with corporate ownership and control information to identify entities and financial instruments that may be affected by sanctions even when they do not appear directly on a sanctions list.

SSMS applies the relevant rules of each sanctions regime to assess these relationships. For example, under OFAC’s 50 Percent Rule, an entity is considered blocked when one or more blocked persons own, directly or indirectly and in aggregate, 50% or more of that entity.

Other jurisdictions may apply different ownership or control criteria. For example, UK financial sanctions can also apply to entities owned or controlled, directly or indirectly, by a designated person (OFSI — UK Financial Sanctions General Guidance).

This helps financial institutions identify indirect sanctions exposure across subsidiaries, ownership structures and connected securities that may not be explicitly named on official sanctions lists.

SIX supports regulatory recordkeeping obligations by providing structured, time-stamped sanctions data through daily full and delta files that can be stored and audited over time. The SSMS dataset includes clear mappings between sanctioned entities, their associated instruments, and the underlying regulatory sources, allowing institutions to maintain historical audit trails of exposure and decision-making.

OFAC — Final Rule to Extend Recordkeeping Requirements

Sanctioned exposure in complex fund structures is calculated by applying multi-level look-through across investment layers, identifying sanctioned components at the lowest level and aggregating their weight back to the top-level fund. SSMS Funds enables this by tracing holdings across up to three levels, capturing both direct and indirect exposure to sanctioned securities and expressing it as a percentage of the overall fund composition.

SIX sanctions monitoring data is built on a large-scale aggregation of global regulatory sources combined with proprietary reference data, enabling broad coverage across asset classes, issuers, and ownership relationships. The service integrates data from more than 1,500 sources and applies automated processing alongside manual validation controls, including a four-eye review process before publication. Sanctions data is sourced directly from regulators and updated daily, with intra-day updates for selected sanctions regimes, supporting both timeliness and reliability. This combination of scale, direct sourcing, and validation ensures that institutions receive high-quality, consistent data suitable for compliance and audit purposes.

SIX addresses grey zone risks by extending its monitoring capabilities beyond formal sanctions lists to include datasets that capture high-risk or restricted activities, such as Marijuana-Related Businesses. These datasets are delivered alongside core SSMS data using the same structure and integration mechanisms, enabling institutions to identify securities linked to activities that may not be explicitly sanctioned but still present regulatory, reputational, or policy-driven risks. This allows firms to incorporate broader risk considerations into their screening frameworks rather than relying solely on legally binding sanctions regimes.

Yes, SIX sanctions monitoring data is designed for direct integration into automated workflows across trading, custody, and compliance systems. The service delivers data in standardized formats such as CSV and XML via secure channels, providing both full datasets and incremental updates that can be consumed by internal systems. This enables institutions to embed sanctions checks into pre-trade controls, post-trade monitoring, and settlement processes, supporting automated decision-making and reducing reliance on manual intervention while maintaining alignment with regulatory requirements.
