The Most Important Statistics
The Swiss Stock Exchange makes a major contribution to transparency – not only by publishing all of the relevant trading information, including binding bid/offer prices and offered sizes, but also with additional statistics on pre-trade analytics as well as turnover figures and details of the performance of the traded ETFs.
ETF Market Making
Liquidity in the market is underpinned by 16 specialist market makers that:
- Provide bid/ask prices for minimum amounts
- Avoid prices which exceed the maximum spread
- Are present in the order book during official trading hours
These requirements vary according to the underlying asset class and apply on a monthly basis. To ensure adherence, every trade is monitored. For each ETF, at least one market maker is appointed, as required by FINMA regulations.
