For the use of the SWXess trading platform, various fees are charged to trading participants and reporting members.
For details on SIX fees, please refer to the following Lists of Charges:
SIX charges annual participation fees. For a direct access to the Exchange system, an additional access fee is charged.
SIX also charges a fee for all on-Exchange transactions and a reporting fee for the reception and processing of Trade Reports. The amount of the trading fee is calculated per transaction and participant and depends on the given participant's total trading turnover (money involved; ad valorem fee) and number of transactions.
