Listing Procedure

The listing procedure for Exchange Traded Products (ETPs) is based on the Directive on the Procedures for Exchange Traded Products.

The listing application must be submitted

• by a recognised representative in accordance with Art. 43 Listing Rules;
• in writing;
• in German, French, Italian or English;
• no later than 20 exchange days prior to the planned listing date, together with the required annexes to the application in accordance with Art. 4 Directive Procedures Exchange Traded Products.

SIX Exchange Regulation will examine the application on the basis of the documents submitted and will approve it if the conditions laid down in the Listing Rules or in the Additional Rules Exchange Traded ProductsAdditional Rules Derivatives are satisfied. The listing procedure requires, in particular, the publication of a listing prospectus.

If certain listing requirements cannot be fulfilled or if the structures in question are new, it makes sense to have eligibility for listing evaluated by the Regulatory Board in a preliminary decision or an exemption (Art. 48 Listing Rules). This process means that the issuer can be sure that their securities are eligible for listing, and enables them to choose the ideal timing for their product launch.
