1. What Is the iTraxx Market?
The iTraxx Market comprises standardized indices of credit default swaps referencing European and Asian borrowers, serving the same credit-hedging function CDX serves for North American names. A single iTraxx trade gives an investor instant exposure to, or protection against, the credit risk of dozens of companies within the index simultaneously. This is rather than requiring separate trades on each individual borrower. The market includes iTraxx Main and Crossover index families, traded in on-the-run or off-the-run series. It covers institutional European and Asian credit-risk hedging applications. Hedge funds, banks, and institutional credit investors are primary participants. The scope excludes the CDX market covering North American rather than European and Asian reference entities.

Single-region-focused trading strategies maintain isolated exposure to either iTraxx Europe or comparable US CDX products separately, an isolation cross-region basis trading capturing pricing divergence between comparable regional indices could substantially exploit. Cross-region basis trading development from Deutsche Bank and BNP Paribas is analyzing pricing divergence between iTraxx Europe and comparable CDX index products, addressing the regional isolation single-region-focused strategies maintain. Traders adopting cross-region basis strategies will capture pricing divergence between comparable regional indices that single-region-focused isolation cannot access, and exploit relative value opportunities regional index isolation currently leaves unaddressed.
