Participants of SIX Swiss Exchange enjoy the following benefits:
High liquidity
High liquidity guaranteed as all orders are concentrated within a single order book.
World-class Stock Exchange Trading
With X-stream INET by Nasdaq OMX, the fastest and most advanced trading technology for equities,
you benefit from a latency of 37 microseconds.
Fair and transparent pricing
Best-price execution and prioritisation by time ensure that pricing is fair and transparent.
Low costs
Trading and clearing costs are low. Integrated clearing and settlement processes offer participants
the benefit of major cost-cutting potential. This is because trades routed via the central order
book trigger an automatic instruction to the clearing and settlement organisations.
Transmission to financial data providers
Trade data, by data type, are automatically communicated via SIX Exfeed Ltd to data vendors.
Individually tailored access system
SWXess supports various types of trading, with a focus on high-frequency, algorithmic trading.
Participants can cut costs by tailoring their access system to their individual requirements, using
SWXess standardised interfaces and connectivity options.
Fast response times and high system availability
SWXess operates under high-quality, cutting-edge technical and organisational standards. As a
result, system availability is high and response times are fast, making SWX Swiss Exchange one of
the world's most technologically advanced securities exchanges.
SWXess comprises a range of independent, interlinked service components, each with a standard interface
to participants. The components have a common infrastructure but are based on different proprietary
technologies. One of the key advantages of SWXess is that every component has been fine-tuned to
perform a specific task and can therefore execute it at top speed and efficiency. As a result,
system availability is high and response times are fast.
