S&P Dow Jones Indices has partnered with UBS to launch the S&P UBS Leveraged Loan Indices, a suite of indices designed to measure the performance of leveraged loans across global markets.
This collaboration marks a strategic shift from the previously used Credit Suisse Leveraged Loan Indices. The suite includes over 2,000 indices, representing a market value of USD 1.6 trillion, and aims to provide insights into leveraged loan markets denominated in USD, EUR, and GBP.
The indices leverage S&P Global Market Intelligence's reference and pricing data, making them a valuable tool for market participants seeking liquidity, transparency, and accessibility.
The U.S. leveraged loan market has experienced significant growth, becoming a strong competitor to the high yield bond market. The partnership between S&P DJI and UBS aims to provide clients and market participants with insights and pricing data for loans.
The transition to the S&P UBS Leveraged Loan Indices involves rebranding the legacy Credit Suisse indices and integrating S&P DJI's iBoxx USD Leveraged Loan Indices into the new suite in 2025. S&P DJI and UBS are focused on expanding the use cases for the leveraged loan indices and driving further growth in the leveraged finance space.
The S&P UBS Leveraged Loan Indices will continue to offer critical insights and data as the market evolves.
