Partnerships

The SWX Swiss Exchange has entered into numerous cooperation agreements and partnerships in order to meet constantly changing market needs and offer its participants and customers optimal solutions.

Clearing and settlement partners

SIS SegaInterSettle AG,the hub of Swiss securities trading, is the central counterparty and central depository for all Swiss stocks and debt securities. In addition, SIS settles international transactions in Swiss securities through its SECOM system.

Thanks to its partnership with SIS, the SWX can offer a full STP throughout to the value chain which has been operating since 1996. Clearing and settlement are conducted electronically through SIS (SIS x-clear AG and SIS SegaInterSettle AG). Furthermore, SIS enables SWX trades to be settled through other clearing organisations by passing on SWX locked-in trades. This allows SWX participants to lodge their securities with other clearing organisations, not just with SIS.
