    Seniority classification Change for Markit iBoxx Global High Yield Files

    Please be advised that this weekend we will be standardizing the seniority classification for EUR and GBP bonds within the Markit iBoxx Global High Yield indices. This change will make the seniority levels of EUR and GBP denominated bonds consistent with the USD and CAD denominated bonds on the field “Seniority Level 1”. This will improve the consistency within the index composition. The fields “Seniority Level 2” and “Seniority Level 3” will also be populated in line with the classification used for the iBoxx EUR/GBP Benchmark indices.

    This change will be applied to daily and monthly files starting Monday, 21 November 2022.

    Here is the current seniority level breakdown:

    Level 0

    		Seniority Level 1 Seniority Level 2 Seniority Level 3
    EUR Senior Unsecured * *
    EUR Senior Secured * *
    EUR Subordinated * *
    GBP * * *


    Here is the NEW seniority level breakdown:
