SIX Swiss Exchange: Bringing Companies And Investors Together

Date 22/09/2016

The capital market conference Investora, which SIX Swiss Exchange supports as a sponsor, once again elicited great interest for the fourth consecutive time.

High-profile speakers and interesting topics ensured the success of Investora 2016, which took place in theConventionPoint at SIX Swiss Exchange on 20 and 21 September.

Exchange platform for companies and investors

Once again, this year's conference provided CEOs and CFOs of listed Swiss small and mid-cap companies with the opportunity to present their firms to expert investors and to answer their questions.

"We are especially committed to bringing companies and investors together," explains Andrea von Bartenwerffer, Head Account Manager Issuer Relations at SIX Swiss Exchange. "For that reason we support conferences like Investora, which allow our clients to present themselves and talk to investors, thereby enhancing their presence with the relevant target group."

Raising awareness of listed companies

The firms' presentations were framed by specialist talks on current topics of relevance to companies and the stock market. In their keynote address, Andrea von Bartenwerffer and Sven Bucher, Head of Research at ZKB, set out possible approaches to enhancing the awareness of SMEs in the market. One example is the Stage program recently launched bySIX Swiss Exchange, which supports listed companies in increasing their visibility and achieving an appropriate valuation. Issuers can choose from a variety of "visibility" offers.

Other talks and podium discussions related to topics such as the opportunities on the Swiss equity market and aspects of regulation.

Numerous benefits for equity issuers

Aside from the newly launched Stage program, a listing on SIX Swiss Exchange offers numerous advantages for equity issuers, such as access to strongly capitalized Swiss and international investors. In addition, we make the process as simple as possible for them with first-class, needs-oriented services, allowing them to efficiently generate capital and sustainable growth.
