About the SBI
The Swiss Bond Indices (SBI) reflect developments in the CHF-denominated bond market. By providing information on domestic interest rates, they supply valuable macroeconomic data on the Swiss capital market.
Strict acceptance criteria apply to the SBI. Each bond issue must be listed on the Swiss Stock Exchange in CHF with a remaining term to maturity of at least one year as well as an original issue volume of at least CHF 100 million. In addition, only fixed-rate bonds are included. Lastly, each bond must have a composite rating of “BBB” or higher.
The SIX Bond Indices are recalculated and published every 3 minutes and are reviewed on a monthly basis. Various sub-indices are calculated with a variety of maturities, credit ratings and sectors.
The broad index SBI AAA-BBB was standardized at 100 points on 29 December 2006, and was launched on January 3, 2007.
SIX also provides ESG Bond Indices to enable a more sustainable investment in the CHF bond market.
In addition, the SBI Spread Indices aim to measure the “Risk Premium” of the Swiss Bond Indices relative to the Swiss Government Curve and the Swiss Swap Curve, by calculating a weighted average of the individual “Risk Premiums” of the constituent bonds in line with the weights of the underlying SBI index.
