Financial Journalists Pass SWX Trader Examination

In a campaign conducted this year for the first time ever, the SWX Swiss Exchange offered interested financial journalists a cost-free opportunity to participate in the training course for the SWX trader examination as well as to take the actual test. The offer met with an avid response - in the past several weeks, a total of 18 journalists successfully completed the trader exam. The SWX Swiss Exchange would like to congratulate them for their noteworthy accomplishment and their newly aquired trader's licence.

The fledgling "registered traders" are:

Zoé Baches (Finanz und Wirtschaft)
Katharina Bart (Dow Jones Newswires)
Harry Büsser (Cash)
Markus Diem Meier (freier Journalist)
Marc Fischer (Cash)
Andreas Flütsch (SonntagsZeitung)
