SIX Swiss Exchange: New Sector Indices For Swiss Bonds
Date 03/01/2011
We are happy to announce that SIX Swiss Exchange has added 180 new indices to the SBI Index family as at 3 January 2011. A number of SBI sector indices have been launched based on the ICB Fixed Income classification benchmark, which classifies issuers according to their economic activity, and a model for guarantee types and collateral; this model was developed by SIX Swiss Exchange in partnership with the Swiss Bond Commission (SBC) and allows individual issues to be allocated to sub-indices based on bond-specific guarantees and collateral.
