On 12 June 2020, the Swiss Stock Exchange welcomed its first new company for 2020 and the new issuer not only rang our familiar stock exchange bell to start trading its shares but also received a small memento: A scaled-down version of the traditional Swiss Stock Exchange bell that has heralded numerous successful IPOs over the years.

This new IPO trophy has been modernized by the vibrant work of Fredinko, a renowned young Swiss artist. It is intended to symbolically capture the significant and unforgettable moment of an IPO. The trophy represents the perfect blend of stability and dynamism, tradition and innovation – the values that best represent SIX and the Swiss Stock Exchange. For more information please read here.
