Newest leverage loan indices build on Bloomberg\u2019s interconnected syndicated loans solutions delivering investors greater insight into traditionally opaque asset class<\/i><\/h2>\n

Bloomberg today expands its leveraged loan index offering with the launch of the Bloomberg European Leveraged Loan Index and the Bloomberg Global Leveraged Loan Index, responding to growing investor demand for more precise, transparent, and globally diversified benchmarks in the syndicated loan market.<\/p>\n

The Bloomberg European Leveraged Loan Index (Ticker: ELOAN) reflects the market\u2019s unique characteristics by including broadly syndicated loans denominated in EUR and GBP, a 150 million local currency minimum size threshold, and inclusion of both rated (high yield) and unrated loans. The Global Leveraged Loan Index<\/a> (Ticker: GLOAN) combines broadly syndicated loans for public and private companies from the US, Europe, and other markets, offering a comprehensive, cross-market view for global investors.<\/p>\n

The indices are built with proprietary pricing from Bloomberg\u2019s award-winning evaluated pricing service, BVAL, to deliver precise and timely insights into loan performance. As of June 30, GLOAN Index had 1,759 loans with a market value of $1.8 trillion, and ELOAN Index had 462 loans with a market value of EUR 340 billion. This expansion also includes approximately 100 sub-indices, enabling institutional investors to tailor exposure with enhanced granularity across geography, credit rating, liquidity thresholds, and other key factors.<\/p>\n

\u201cFollowing the introduction of our US Leveraged Loan Index, demand from clients, particularly in Europe, for more benchmarks for leveraged loan investments has been strong and consistent so this is a natural next step,\u201d said Jasvinder Singh, Fixed Income Index Product Manager at Bloomberg Index Services Limited. \u201cThis launch represents another significant milestone in our commitment to expand the Bloomberg Fixed Income Indices offering and deliver enhanced value to our clients.\u201d<\/p>\n

“We\u2019re excited to see the launch of Bloomberg\u2019s new Leveraged Loan Index and the expanded coverage of European loan data. In a market where data is everything, this marks a significant leap forward,\u201d said Scott McMunn, CEO of the Loan Market Association (LMA). \u201cAt the LMA, we\u2019re actively collaborating with Bloomberg on ongoing thought leadership and commentary, delivering deeper insights and complementary perspectives on the European leveraged loan space\u201d<\/p>\n
