About the SIX Equity Indices
The SIX Equity Indices serve as a reference for the development of the Swiss equity market and reflect the market performance and trends of equities listed on the Swiss Stock Exchange. These indices provide valuable macroeconomic data related to the Swiss equity market. Specifically, they deliver information on:
- Market performance: SIX Equity Indices track the collective performance of a basket of Swiss stocks
- Price movement: The values of SIX Equity Indices reflect the daily closing prices of listed equities. They help investors understand how the overall market is moving.
- Sector representation: SIX Equity Indices include companies from various sectors. By analysing sector weights, investors can assess sector-specific trends.
- Market capitalization: Most SIX Equity Indices are market capitalization weighted, meaning larger companies have a greater impact on the index value. This reflects the relative size of each company in the Swiss market
- Investor sentiment: Changes in the index can indicate shifts in investor sentiment. A rising index may signal optimism, while a declining index could indicate concerns.
SIX provides a wide range of indices for the Swiss equity market. This includes the renowned indices Swiss Market Index (SMI), Swiss Leader Index (SLI) and Swiss Performance Index (SPI) and various other industry- and sector-specific indices.
Further, SIX also provides ESG Equity Indices to enable a more sustainable investment in the Swiss equity market.
