With the introduction of the SXI Real Estate All Shares Index and an accompanying harmonization of the existing Real Estate Indices the Swiss stock exchange is increasing the granularity for investors in the real estate segment.
In order to harmonize the existing offering, the methodology of the existing SXI Real Estate Shares Index will be aligned to the SXI Real Estate Funds Index rules, in that it only contains securities which have at least 75% of their assets invested in Switzerland. This change ensures consistent measurement of the Swiss real estate market and meets the needs of many market participants. The amendment will take effect on 18 September 2017. The first part of this harmonization, changing the name of the existing SXI Real Estate indices, has already been carried out.

This new index covers all real estate equities listed on SIX Swiss Exchange, regardless of the geographical diversification of their investments. The following chart provides an overview of the new structure of the SXI Real Estate index family.
