In late 2021, Bloomberg and Eurex launched the first Credit Index Futures product marking a pivotal moment in fixed income market structure.

Four years on, this partnership has grown into a global suite spanning Euro, Sterling, USD Credit, and Emerging Market Sovereign index futures.

Now, Bloomberg and Eurex bring their shared experience, market insights, and practical use cases to London—joined by industry experts who have helped shape the market and will share their expertise on what’s next.

The event will be followed by a networking reception.
