Get a Valor Number or ISIN Identifier From SIX

SIX is the official securities numbering agency in Switzerland, Liechtenstein and Belgium, and in this capacity is responsible for the issuance of Valor and ISIN identifiers.

The Valor uniquely identifies financial instruments of any country and any asset class. The Valor is incorporated in the Swiss, Belgium and Liechtenstein ISIN. A Valor can be used in conjunction with an ISO Market Identifier Code (ISO 10383) and an ISO Currency Code (ISO 4217) to uniquely identify a financial instrument.

SIX is also a founding member of the Association of National Numbering Agencies (ANNA) and co-operator of the ANNA Service Bureau.

Report a Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Security

If a security has been lost, stolen or destroyed, it can be stopped at SIX. Securities reported for stopping include listed and unlisted Swiss securities, foreign securities if they are traded on the Swiss Stock Exchange and Euro bonds. The stopping does not mean that the instrument is blocked by authorities or is declared null and void. The stopping only means that the owner has reported a security missing and that legal proceedings might be taken to declare the security null and void or that a security might have been declared null and void in an official publication after legal proceedings.

A stopping announcement can help find missing instruments and, on the other hand, warns banks and their clients against acquiring such securities. SIX does not accept responsibility for the correctness, accuracy or completeness of the information on a security, as it cannot verify its accuracy.

After SIX has received a stopping message, the instrument is added to the SIX data base and is available to clients via our distribution platforms and our display product.

Contact your local support if you have a stopping announcement.
