Invesco Indexing Confirmation of Changes to the Index Methodologies for the Invesco / SOFR Academy USD Across-the-Curve Credit Spread Index (AXI) and the Invesco / SOFR Academy USD Financial Conditions Credit Spread Index (FXI)

Invesco Indexing is confirming changes to the Index Methodology Documents for the Invesco / SOFR Academy USD Across-the-Curve Credit Spread Index (AXI) and the Invesco / SOFR Academy USD Financial Conditions Credit Spread Index (FXI).

Following further research, Invesco Indexing is making the following updates to the tenor calculations of both the AXI and FXI indexes. These changes will become effective on July 25, 2025.

  • For each tenor, pursuant to the DTCC transactions with maturities as shown below in each week for the past 3 years, calculate the volume weighted average spread. For each of the tenors stated below, calculate the average unscaled AXI/FXI during each corresponding week.
Tenor Minimum Days Maximum Days Comment
1-month 15 days 45 days +/- 15 days around 30-day target
3-months 75 days 105 days +/- 15 days around 90-day target
6-months 165 days 195 days +/- 15 days around 180-day target
12-months 330 days 390 days +/- 30 days around 360-day target
  • Calculate a ratio of the short- term tenor spread described above, divided by the unscaled AXI/FXI
  • Calculate this ratio for all weeks over a 3-year period and calculate the average ratio
  • The new term AXI/FXI is calculated as the latest unscaled AXI/FXI multiplied by the average ratio described above
  • The Daily Treasury Par Yield Curve will be replaced with the Daily Treasury Bill Rates as published by the U.S. Department of the Treasury for the term rate calculations
