SIX Swiss Exchange: Launch Of The SPI 20

SIX Swiss Exchange is launching a non-capped blue chip index for the 20 largest and most liquid stocks on the Swiss equity market.

As anticipated in the media release on the amendment to the index rules governing the SMI[PDF], SIX Swiss Exchange is launching a non-capped blue chip index, called SPI 20. The new index includes the 20 largest and most liquid stocks in the Swiss equity market - the same components as the SMI. Following the amendment of the index rules governing the SMI in September, the SPI 20 will still be calculated without capping the individual index stocks.

The SPI 20 will be calculated and distributed as of 4 July 2017. Further information on the index offering of SIX Swiss Exchange can be found on the SIX Swiss Exchange website.
