    Special rebalance of the iBoxx iTraxx Europe Bond Index

    Please be advised that we are planning a special September month-end rebalancing of the iBoxx iTraxx Europe Bond Index to include 6 additional bonds.

    These 6 bonds were missing in the previews leading up to the 21 September rebalancing and hence did not get added to the index during the 21 September 2020 rebalancing.

    To correct for this, the 6 bonds will be added during the scheduled September month-end rebalance process, which will also see one bond leaving the index.
    Please find the projected October 2020 iBoxx iTraxx Europe Bond Index composition and the list of additions and removals in the attachment.

    For more information, please contact us at indices@ihsmarkit.com.
