The two market capitalization-weighted indices namely EMUSDBBI and EMUSDBBI Corp Capped Extended will boost Citi’s index coverage of emerging markets as well as complement the firm’s local currency government and corporate bond indices by measuring the performance of investment grade and high yield US dollar denominated debt domiciled in emerging markets.

The EMUSDBBI will target governments and corporations from over 60 markets, while the EMUSDBBI Corp Capped Extended will focus on corporate debt in over 45 markets and imposes a maximum par amount with respect to any single issuer.

Additionally, the Citi Time-Weighted U.S. Fallen Angel Bond Index will measure the performance of corporate fallen angels, high yield bonds that were previously rated investment grade.

This index will follow a time-based weighting approach, which will capture the price rebound effect that fallen angels tend to experience soon after their initial downgrade to high yield.
