The equity instruments recognised at fair value through other comprehensive income consist of strategic investments of an infrastructure nature, which are not exchange-listed (see note 33), as well as various equities of the Swiss Market Index (SMI). Short-term profit-taking is not the focus with equity instruments recognised at fair value through other comprehensive income, rather they represent a long-term position which pursues the collection of dividends and a long-term appreciation in value.
During the reporting period, adjustments were made in the portfolio of SMI equities because the weighting of individual SMI securities had changed. The disposals resulted in a loss of CHF thousands 141 (previous year: minus CHF thousands 80). The fair value of the transactions amounted to CHF thousands 6'955 (previous year: CHF thousands 752). The loss was recognised directly in retained earnings.
