BCI COCO Sterling Index
The Credit Suisse CoCo Family of Indices consists of three separate euro-, sterling- , and dollar-denominated indices of contingent convertible securities issued by European banks. CoCo bonds provide an additional capital cushion for banks under either the Pillar 1 or Pillar 2 regulatory framework; forming a capital pool which will support banks’ capital levels on a going-concern or gone-concern basis. Each CoCo bond includes contractual terms that require write-down or conversion into equity in the event of a specific trigger. (Note: The index will be rebranded in May of 2025 to: VettaFi BCI COCO Sterling Index)
