Exchange Services: Get the best of both worlds

A strategic and organizational realignment of SIX has brought the Swiss Exchanges and Securities Services together. This combines the dynamism of one of Europe's foremost exchanges with the stability and reliability of one of the most respected post-trade service providers in the industry. The resulting SIX business unit is now a powerful single source for Swiss and international clients for listing, trading and post-trade solutions.

SIX Swiss Exchange AG is one of Europe's key stock exchanges and is the reference market for Swiss securities and has recently been nominated as "Exchange Group of the Year" for the FN Trading and Technology Awards 2018.
