In what year was SIX established?

In what year was SIX established?

• A. 1995
• B. 1993
• C. 1989
• D. 2000

Answer: (B)

This question tests your knowledge of the historical formation of SIX. SIX traces its origins to 1993, when the Swiss trading venues were consolidated to create the SWX Swiss Exchange, marking the establishment of the exchange lineage that would later become SIX. The SIX name and group as known today came later (a 2008 merger that formed the SIX Group from SWX, SIS, and Telekurs), but the founding year in the sense of when the exchange itself was established is 1993. That’s why 1993 is the correct choice.
