SPI Extra
The SPI Extra is a stock index which tracks mid-cap and small-cap companies primarily listed in Switzerland. The index is calculated by SIX Swiss Exchange. It includes all the shares from the Swiss Performance Index (SPI) that are not included in the Swiss Market Index (SMI). It is therefore often used in investment portfolios such as exchange-traded funds (ETFs), as a small-cap and mid-cap benchmark that complements the SMI. The SPI Extra was introduced on 29 April 2004, computed back to 3 January 1996 with a baseline value of 1000 points as of 31 December 1999. Constituents The index contains all the companies that are in the Swiss Performance Index (SPI), but not among the 20 blue chips that are in the Swiss Market Index (SMI), or equivalently the SPI 20. While the SPI Extra overlaps with the SPI Mid+Small, it does not fully coincide because the SMI criteria are not only based on market capitalisation, but also on liquidity.

Capitalization-weighted Index
A capitalization-weighted (or cap-weighted) index, also called a market-value-weighted index is a stock market index whose components are weighted according to the total market value of their outstanding shares. Every day an individual stock's price changes and thereby changes a stock index's value. The impact that individual stock's price change has on the index is proportional to the company's overall market value (the share price multiplied by the number of outstanding shares), in a capitalization-weighted index. In other types of indices, different ratios are used. For example, the AMEX Composite Index (XAX) had more than 800 component stocks. The weighting of each stock constantly shifted with changes in the stock's price and the number of shares outstanding. The index fluctuates in line with the price move of the stocks. Stock market indices are a type of economic index. Free-float weighting A common version of capitalization weighting is the ''free-float'' weighting. ...

The Swiss Market Index (SMI) is Switzerland's blue-chip stock market index, which makes it the most followed in the country. It is made up of 20 of the largest and most liquid Swiss Performance Index (SPI) stocks. As a price index, the SMI is not adjusted for dividends. The SMI was introduced on 30 June 1988 at a baseline value of 1,500 points. It closed above the symbolic level of 10,000 points for the first time on 2 July 2019. It reached the 12,000 point milestone on 17 June 2021. It is currently in a bear market, which it entered on 22 September 2022 after losing more than 20%.

As of September 2022, it contains 18 large-caps and two mid-caps. Calculation takes place in real-time.

Swiss Performance Index
The Swiss Performance Index (SPI) is a wide total-return index that tracks equity primarily listed on SIX Swiss Exchange with a free-float of at least 20%, and excluding investment companies. The index covers large, mid and small caps and is weighted by market capitalization. Most constituents, although not all, are domiciled in Switzerland or the Principality of Liechtenstein. The SPI is Switzerland's most closely followed performance index.

In 2020, the SPI, along with other SIX indices, was endorsed under the EU Benchmarks Regulation and is registered with the European Securities and Markets Authority, which means that it can be used as an underlying for financial products sold in the EU.

Exchange-traded Fund
An exchange-traded fund (ETF) is a type of investment fund and exchange-traded product, i.e. they are traded on stock exchanges. ETFs are similar in many ways to mutual funds, except that ETFs are bought and sold from other owners throughout the day on stock exchanges whereas mutual funds are bought and sold from the issuer based on their price at day's end. An ETF holds assets such as stocks, bonds, currencies, futures contracts, and/or commodities such as gold bars, and generally operates with an arbitrage mechanism designed to keep it trading close to its net asset value, although deviations can occasionally occur. Most ETFs are index funds: that is, they hold the same securities in the same proportions as a certain stock market index or bond market index. The most popular ETFs in the U.S. replicate the S&P 500, the total market index, the NASDAQ-100 index, the price of gold, the "growth" stocks in the Russell 1000 Index, or the index of the largest technology companies. ...

Valoren Number
The VALOR number is a code which uniquely identifies listed securities and financial instruments in Switzerland, and serves a similar purpose to CUSIP or WKN in the North American or German markets respectively. The VALOR number is incorporated in the Swiss ISIN number. Allocation Methodology The VALOR number is a numeric code that intrinsically has no meaning. When a new VALOR is needed, the next one from the list is simply allocated. An instrument's number indicates nothing about the instrument itself. Uses The VALOR number can be used for a number of purposes in identifying a financial instrument: * Globally a VALOR number is allocated for any type of financial instrument which meets the allocation rules. It can be used in conjunction with the Market Identifier Code (MIC) and the currency code to uniquely identify a traded instrument. It can be used in transaction reporting and for position keeping. *In Switzerland and Liechtenstein the VALOR number is the main identifier in ...
