First active ETFs tradable SIX Swiss Exchange is expanding its offering

investors can now trade in 11 active ETFs.
March 31, 2014--SIX Swiss Exchange has come up with a further innovation in the area of regulated on-exchange trading: with immediate effect, investors are able to trade in actively managed ETFs.

The first product provider is Swiss & Global Asset Management, who has initially listed 11 active ETFs. The new products track four MSCI Indices and offer investors an additional option for investing in the emerging markets, Asia and Europe regions, and worldwide, in the trading currencies CHF, EUR and USD.

Active, flexible, high-performance An active ETF aims to beat its benchmark and generate excess returns. The portfolio manager has a high level of flexibility and is able to react quickly to current market trends in order to exploit investment opportunities more effectively and profitably. The portfolio manager actively optimizes the composition of the fund on an ongoing basis by buying or selling selected equities or other securities. In an ideal scenario this leads to a double performance yield made up of an index and a product component.
