ETF Market Report: 1st Quarter 2025

For the fourth time in a row, both revenue and the number of transactions in the Swiss ETF market increased. The turnover generated in the first quarter of CHF 32.086 billion was the highest since the first quarter of 2022. A new record closing high was reached with 844,174 trades.

The range of newly listed ETFs on SIX Swiss Exchange increased by 65 units in the first quarter, eight more units than in the previous quarter. The total number of ETFs listed on SIX Swiss Exchange amounted to 1,930 units by 31 March, corresponding to an increase of 45 compared to the fourth quarter of 2024.

Bond ETFs accounted for just under a third of new listings, with a little over 40% of new listings being for equity ETFs on country indices and just over 10% being equity-style and strategy ETFs. As a result, the once-dominant topic of sustainability has faded into the background somewhat.

These and more detailed statistics are available in the latest edition of the ETF Market Report.

In addition to detailed statistics on the ETF segment of SIX Swiss Exchange, the latest market report also includes an interview with Dorcas Philips, Head of ETF Capital Markets at Robeco. In the interview, she shares her views on how the ETF trading landscape has evolved over the past years and what issues are currently shaping developments in the ETF sector. Furthermore, she outlines what distinguishes Robeco from other ETF providers and provides an outlook into their plans and what the future might hold for the Swiss ETF market.
