This report provides detailed figures regarding the performance of SIX Swiss Exchange's ETF segment. |
In the first quarter of 2018, Swiss Exchange recorded an ETF trading turnover of CHF 31.6 billion, as announced in the latest ETF market report[PDF]. This equates to a 5% increase over the previous quarter. A total of 321'562 ETF tickets were generated in the first quarter of 2018, representing a significant increase of 25% versus the previous quarter and the highest figure since the start of 2015. This was when the Swiss National Bank discontinued the euro/Swiss franc exchange rate floor, which resulted in a sharp rise in volatility.
The positive trend in turnover of ETFs listed on SIX Swiss Exchange during the first quarter was primarily attributable to equity ETFs. These saw quarter-on-quarter growth of 26.4%, to CHF 27.49 billion.
