Real data

Real data:
every row links back to the SEC filing

There is not a single simulated number on this page. 13 USD bonds, 6 issuers, $28.06B face value — terms copied line by line from SEC 10-Q / 8-K filings, benchmarked against the US Treasury curve for the pricing day. Where we cannot be real, we leave it empty rather than fill it with a placeholder.

Layers

Four layers: three are real, one is waiting for a licence

real

L1 Issuance · live

Coupon, maturity, size and ranking are taken line by line from SEC filings; issue spread = coupon minus the Treasury yield interpolated to the matching tenor on the pricing date. This is the entire basis of NCSX-IS, and anyone with the same two public sources can replicate it.

real

L2 Sector · live

Sector reference comes from ICE BofA option-adjusted spreads published via FRED — daily, real, cross-checkable: US high yield 3.40%, BB 2.03%, B 3.62%, CCC 13.16% (2026-11-03).

real

L3 Quarterly fund marks · live

Registered funds must report every holding with its fair value to the SEC each quarter (Form N-PORT). We aggregate those filings and take the cross-fund median to back out a spread: 5 bonds currently carry observable marks, latest period 2026-08-31, covering $8.6B of face value. This is the price real managers carry their books at — not our estimate.

pending

L4 Daily secondary · awaiting licence

Daily traded price and day-over-day spread change require licensed FINRA TRACE data. Until that is in place those fields simply do not exist in NCSX — we do not publish a simulated series to fill the gap.

On a notional-weighted basis, 13 USD-denominated AI-infrastructure bonds were issued at a credit spread of 432 basis points over Treasuries (NCSX-IS, as of 2026-11-04, $28.06B face value); senior secured 391bp and senior unsecured 540bp.

Sorted by size. A * marks a pricing date known only to the month; the benchmark still uses the actual trading-day curve from that month, so the issue spread is approximate rather than day-exact.

Fund marks

Quarterly marks: the price others carry on their books

US registered funds must report every holding at fair value to the SEC each quarter (Form N-PORT). Aggregating all filings for the same bond and taking the median, then backing out a yield and subtracting the Treasury benchmark, gives the price licensed managers actually mark their books at — not our model output.

The coverage gap is itself information: CoreWeave bonds are widely held by registered funds, so third-party marks are abundant; Applied Digital / TeraWulf / Cipher secured notes sit mostly with private-credit funds that do not file N-PORT, so no public mark exists — that debt is buy-and-hold project finance by design. Prices are percent of par; yields solved semi-annually; the period is each fund's own fiscal quarter-end.

FAQ

FAQ

Is this real, and how do I verify it?

Yes. Click "SEC ↗" on any row and you land on the original quarterly report where the issuer discloses coupon, maturity and size. For the Treasury leg, open the Treasury curve page and pick the same date. Between them sits one linear interpolation, with the formula published.

Why is there no daily spread change?

Because there is exactly one lawful route to per-bond end-of-day traded prices: a FINRA TRACE licence. Until that is signed we publish only what we can genuinely compute — issue spreads and terms — instead of inventing a daily series.

How is NCSX-IS different from the old NCSX-Composite?

Different definition. The Composite claimed to be a secondary-trade spread but was, without a licence, a demonstration series. NCSX-IS measures issuance-time spread only: narrower, but every value can be independently replicated. The old series is marked deprecated and is no longer published as an index.

Why only 13 bonds and 6 issuers?

Because that is everything currently verifiable down to a specific SEC filing. Most of the AI-infrastructure complex (Lambda, Crusoe, Together and others) has no public USD bonds, and miners pivoting to AI mostly issue convertible notes, which are not straight credit. The sample expands quarter by quarter as new deals price.

Licensing: deal terms come from public SEC filings and the benchmark from public US Treasury data, both freely citable; FRED series require attribution to FRED / ICE BofA. Index construction and publication are independent; nothing here is investment advice or a credit rating.
