Credit Default Swap (CDS) Indices

Access CDS Indices covering a broad range of the credit derivatives market

Get access to our award-winning CDX and iTraxx index families, comprised of North American, European, Asian, and emerging markets tradable credit default swap indices.

Every six months, the underlying securities are examined and, if appropriate, replaced with new securities. This helps to ensure that the index remains current and is not cluttered with investments that no longer exist, or which are very illiquid.
