Hi,
I was wondering if there is an equivalent of S&P 500 index for the SIX stock exchange. Any hint is appreciated.
Thanks

The only problem is 3 stocks are about 65% of the index of 20 companies, so hardly any diversification.

A few "cream of the crops" potential candidates (although much smaller than 500, logically):
- UBS 100 - https://www.six-group.com/exchanges/...ubs100_en.html
- SLI - https://www.six-group.com/exchanges/...es/sli_en.html
- SMI - https://www.six-group.com/exchanges/...es/smi_en.html
- SPI 20 - https://www.six-group.com/exchanges/.../spi20_en.html

It's more like 50-55% of the SMI foe the big three, though that doesn't help all that much with the issue. Which is why the SLI with its 10% cap per company may be the better choice.

OK, I see a cap was introduced in 2017, only problem is you can not accurately back test the index as it's rules changed. I suspect past performance would have been less if the cap existed historically.

Can you backtest using the Dow-30 (DJIA)? According to you that should be impossible as the index composition isn't rule-based.

You know the actual composition, plus a stock's cap where applicable, that's all you need.

If IBM had not left the index & rejoined later I believe the index would be twice what it is today

Could you do the calculation since 1987 if it's really that easy?

The opposite of "impossible" isn't "easy". Logic really isn't your forte.

Helpful as always, I will take that as a no then

don't =/= can't

You're utterly illogic again.

So other than you calling me out, you have not helped ask the question. I assumed you were trying to help, which probably makes me the bigger fool here.

Keep asking rhetorical questions.
