Bond Connect and CIBM Direct are two of the most popular schemes used by international investors to access China’s bond market — and we have customized our technology to connect you. Bloomberg’s execution management system, TSOX, is now integrated with China Foreign Exchange Trade System (CFETS) to enable seamless execution through Bond Connect.
VCON via CIBM Direct forms a smooth trade ticket communication service, while CIBM Direct RFQ allows eligible offshore investors to trade RMB-denominated China interbank bonds on the Bloomberg Terminal. T+N settlement support is also available through both CIBM Direct and Bond Connect.

Bloomberg is helping overseas investors evaluate performance of Chinese securities through the inclusion of Chinese RMB-denominated government and policy bank securities to the Bloomberg Barclays Global Aggregate Index. When fully accounted for, local currency Chinese bonds will be the fourth largest currency component in the index, following the US dollar, euro and Japanese yen.
Bloomberg’s Liquid China Credit (LCC) Index is designed to track the liquid, tradable portion of the RMB-denominated credit bond market. In order to best represent the tradable, liquid component of the credit market, the LCC Index uses a unique methodology, including bonds that have traded on at least 10% of the business days over the past three months and have at least RMB250 million in aggregate trading volume over that period.
As of October 30, 2020, the LCC Index contained 125 securities across 48 issuers with official BCLASS classifications of both government-related and corporate. The average yield was 3.4% and duration was 1.9.
