S&P/LSTA U.S.

LEVERAGED LOAN 100 INDEX

FIXED INCOME
The S&P/LSTA U.S. Leveraged Loan 100 Index is designed to reflect the performance of the largest facilities in the U.S.
dollar leveraged loan market.
Description
Index Attributes
The S&P/LSTA (Loan Syndications and Trading Association) U.S. Leveraged Loan 100 Index was the first index to track
the investable senior loan market. This rules-based index consists of the 100 largest loan facilities in the benchmark
S&P/LSTA Leveraged Loan Index (LLI).
Methodology Construction
Universe. All syndicated leveraged loans covered by the LLI universe are eligible for inclusion.
Constituent Selection Criteria. Term loans from syndicated credits must meet the following criteria at issuance to
be eligible for inclusion in the LLI:
Senior secured
Minimum initial term of one year
Minimum initial spread of LIBOR + 125 basis points
U.S. dollar denominated
All constituents must have a publicly assigned CUSIP
Par Amount Outstanding. The S&P/LSTA U.S. Leveraged Loan 100 Index is designed to include the largest loan
facilities from the LLI universe. Par outstanding is a key criterion for loan selection, and loan facilities are included if they
are among the largest first-lien facilities from the LLI in terms of par amount outstanding.
Minimum Par Amount. No minimum size requirement on individual facilities in the S&P/LSTA U.S. Leveraged Loan
100 Index, but the LLI universe minimum is USD 50 million. Only the 100 largest first-lien facilities from the LLI that meet
all eligibility requirements are considered for inclusion.
Domicile. The S&P/LSTA U.S. Leveraged Loan 100 Index covers all issuers, regardless of origin; however, all facilities
must be denominated in U.S. dollars.
2% Loan Cap. At each weekly review, which typically occurs on Friday, facilities that exceed 2% of the market cap
weight of the S&P/LSTA U.S. Leveraged Loan 100 Index are reduced to 1.90%.
