The format we use to display the name of a bond is as follows: “Issuer Name”, “Current Coupon Rate”, “Maturity Date (mm-yyyy)”.
The return you would get if you bought at a given price and held to maturity, expressed on an annualised basis. If the bond has embedded options (i.e. put or call options), the yield is calculated to the worst possible outcome for you.
The difference in return between an investment in a bond and an investment in a bank deposit, both with the same maturity and in the same currency, assuming the bond is held to maturity. The benchmark deposit rate used for comparison depends on the currency of the bond and is derived from fixed-term deposits available in the following countries:
The deposit spread is presented in two formats:
For the benchmark deposit rate, we use indicative bank deposit rates from central banks. When central bank statistics are significantly delayed, we rely on actual deposit rates from leading banks within the selected country where possible.
The best available clean price at which a bond can be bought.
The term 'firm price' refers to the price that closely approximates the ask price seen from brokers known to us who trade the bond. It is calculated as the average of the best ask prices at market close on the most recent trading day, from the most liquid exchanges where the bond was actively traded. Selecting this option enhances your confidence in matching the price when accessing your broker's application
Proceeds from the bond issue are used to finance environmentally friendly projects, such as reducing carbon emissions or mitigating the effects of climate change

A zero coupon is a financial instrument that does not provide for periodic interest payments. The investor earns income due to the difference between the purchase price of the bond (which is sold below par) and its face value, which is paid at maturity.
Income predictability: The investor knows in advance how much he will receive at the time of repayment. No interest rate risk: No need to worry about changing market rates, as the yield on such a bond is fixed. Suitable for long-term investment: Such a bond is ideal for accumulating funds for long-term purposes such as education or retirement.
Example: If you bought a zero coupon bond for 800 EUR, and its face value is 1,000 EUR, then after a certain period of time you will receive 1,000 EUR, and your income will be 200 EUR.

An assessment of a borrower's creditworthiness, or the likelihood that the borrower will pay its debts and not go bankrupt.
We calculate the average publicly available bond and borrower credit rating assigned by global rating agencies and present it on a five-point scale with the following meaning:
Very Low: current average credit rating in the range of AA- and higher
Low: current average credit rating of A-, A or A+
Medium: current average credit rating of BBB-, BBB or BBB+
High: current average credit rating of BB-, BB or BB+
Very High: current average credit rating in the range of B+ and below. Bonds and borrowers that are not rated by any global rating agency also fall into this category
The country in which a borrower's main business is located, either in terms of assets or sources of income.

We offer two different types of pricing data, both calculated in-house: 'firm price' and 'indicative price'.
The 'firm price' is based on the lowest ask price from the previous day’s trading session taken from the exchanges listed below and adjusted for the liquidity level of the venue specific to the instrument.
Exchanges used to calculate the 'firm price':
The 'indicative price' is generated by our unique pricing model, which aggregates data from multiple sources to estimate a value for the instrument on the last trading day. This model incorporates multi-factor analysis, taking into account aspects such as trading volume at relevant venues, randomised factors and a pre-defined maximum variance.
