      iTraxx Asia ex-Japan Rule Announcement

      Following the close of the feedback window on 25th July 2019, IHS Markit has decided to amend the iTraxx Asia ex-Japan Index (the Index) rules in line with the proposal detailed on 18th July 2019. The revised Index rules aim to gradually align the Index with the overall Asia ex-Japan IG USD bond market, in terms of market and sector weightings. The alignment process is expected to continue over subsequent index rolls until the Index is closely aligned with the Asia ex-Japan IG USD bond market.

      As per the usual index roll process, ahead of the September 2019 roll, the iTraxx Asia ex-Japan Series 32 Provisional List will be published.

      The updated rulebook for iTraxx Asia ex-Japan index is now available on the iTraxx webpage and will be applicable for the September 2019 index roll.
