Information on the sub-indices

CHF Bonds - Index
The formerly used SBI Total index has been replaced by the SBI Total AAA-BBB from 31 December 2007 onward. The SWX Swiss Bond Index AAA-BBB (SBI®) is calculated by SWX Swiss Exchange. It reflects developments in the CHF bond markets and hence in the field of interest rates. The universe of securities comprises all bonds issued in CHF (domestic and foreign borrowers) which are listed on the SWX Swiss Exchange and whose "composite rating" (blend of ratings from S&P, Moody's and Fitch and 4 major Swiss banks) is not lower than BBB.
