Monthly figures from SIX show continued momentum in structured product listings in Switzerland, supported by increased fixed income trading on both SIX Swiss Exchange and BME Exchange.
SIX Group published its trading figures for April, outlining trading, listing and index performance across SIX Swiss Exchange and BME Exchange.
SIX said that 28,695 products were listed on the Swiss market in April alone
The exchange operator noted that activity during the month was led by fixed income segments in both Switzerland and Spain, alongside sustained equities trading and continued structured product listings.
On structured products, SIX reported that 28,695 products were listed on the Swiss market in April alone. This brought the total number of structured product listings in 2026 to 108,864 by the end of April, meaning the 100,000 threshold is now surpassed within the first four months of the year.
Gregor Braun, head of cash market sales, exchanges, SIX, said that it was encouraging to see continued structured product listing activity in Switzerland and added that SIX was also pleased with the strength of fixed income trading on BME Exchange, which he attributed to the ongoing repatriation of bond issuance programmes from Spanish issuers that had previously been listed on other European exchanges.
SIX reported that fixed income trading recorded the strongest growth on BME Exchange in April, with turnover increasing by 96.2% compared with April 2025. Equities trading turnover on the Spanish market also expanded, rising 15.2% year on year.
On an overall basis, total trading turnover on BME Exchange reached €56.7 billion, representing growth of 27% compared with the same month last year. SIX attributed this performance to higher activity across multiple market segments rather than to a single asset class.
SIX stated that fixed income was also the fastest-growing segment on the SIX Swiss Exchange, with turnover rising 2.9% year on year. Total trading turnover across all segments on the Swiss market amounted to CHF 97.3 billion during April. The exchange operator noted that trading levels remained broadly stable compared with earlier months, despite varying market conditions.
Index performance was also highlighted by the exchange operator; Spain’s IBEX 35 index rose 4.3% in April to close at 17,781 points, while Switzerland’s SMI gained 2.8% over the month, ending at 13,136.3 points.
