Trading In Foreign And Multiple Currencies In The Main Segment Of The SWX Swiss Exchange

The SWX Swiss Exchange decided in its resolution of 22 March 2005 to extend trading in foreign and multiple currencies – which is already permitted in the Investment (cf. SWX message no. 35/2000 dated 22 May 2000 and SWX message no. 59/2001 dated 9 July 2001) and Real Estate (cf. SWX message no. 84/2003 dated 10 November 2003) Companies segments to the Main Segment of the SWX.

In the future, trading in foreign and multiple currencies on the main market will be subject to the same conventions as apply to the Investment and Real Estate Companies segments. Attention is drawn specifically to the condition that both trading participants must hold either a foreign currency account with SIS or a EuroSIC account.
