Swiss Structured Products Association (SSPA) has expanded its categorization model, added to its index products traded outside the stock exchange and is now updating its product index daily.

Zurich, May 16, 2008. In recent years the Swiss Structured Products Association’s categorization model has grown in size, with a concomitant rise in non-classifiable products, previously listed under „Miscellaneous”. In the past, because payout profile determines category, new structured products with minor payout differences were listed under „Miscellaneous” rather than an existing product category.
