Transparent Trading
Trade and transaction reporting creates transparency for all market participants.
Clear Rules
As a regulated market, the Swiss Stock Exchange ensures fairness and equal treatment.
Efficient Tools

Trade Reporting & Transaction Reporting
The legal duty to report distinguishes between reports in terms of post trade transparency (trade reporting) and reports in terms of traceability to ensure compliance with regulatory requirements (transaction reporting). The Swiss Stock Exchange publishes the details of trade reports required to ensure the post trade transparency of securities trading whereas transaction reports are not published. Further details as well as information about transactions subject to the reporting obligation are available in our Reporting Guide (see below).
