The SXI® Special Industry indices are specially selected sector indices. These sectors have been
selected mainly due to the international and domestic significance of the specific sector as well as
the number of companies listed on SIX Swiss Exchange that are representative of the industry. The Real
Estate sector contains shares with a primary listing in accordance with the regulatory standard for
real estate companies, as well as real estate funds with a primary listing on SIX Swiss Exchange.

The SXI Family comprises two further indices that track one of Switzerland's leading sectors: the
SXI Life Sciences index (pharmacy, medtech and biotech) and the more specific SXI Bio+Medtech sub index.
These indices satisfy a growing demand on the part of foreign institutional investors to participate in
this segment of the Swiss equity market. They will also increase the attractiveness of the SIX Swiss
Exchange as a stock exchange for companies in these sectors. This index is a platform for companies and a
benchmark for investors.
