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

When this option is clicked, the screener displays all Subordinated and Senior non-preferred bonds, which are more risky, in addition to the Senior and Secured bonds shown by default. Clicking this option also adds an additional 'Seniority' column to the screener.

Zero-coupon bonds are issued at a discount and repay their full face value at maturity. The investor’s return comes from the difference between the purchase price and the redemption amount.
Example: A 5-year zero-coupon bond bought for €800 and redeemed at €1,000 will generate €200 of income at maturity. This corresponds to an annualized return of approximately 5%: (€1,000 – €800) / €800 / 5
The time to maturity of a bond from today, expressed in years.
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.
The high-level type of industry in which the borrower of a bond operates.

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.

The classification of a bond that indicates the order of priority for repayment in the event of the issuer's bankruptcy:
We’ve introduced a small but useful update to improve how you browse and customize the Bondfish Screener. A new Zero-coupon bond filter now lets you decide whether to include this type of bond in your search results.
By default, zero-coupon bonds are hidden in the Screener to keep the main view focused on standard coupon-paying instruments. When you enable the new filter, these bonds will appear alongside other issues, expanding the full list of available results.
Zero-coupon bonds are issued at a discount and repaid at full face value at maturity. They do not pay periodic interest — instead, the investor’s return comes from the difference between the purchase price and the redemption amount.
Example: a 5-year zero-coupon bond purchased for €800 and redeemed at €1,000 will generate €200 of income at maturity, equal to an annualized return of about 5%: (€1,000 – €800) / €800 / 5.
The Zero Coupon filter can be found in the «Show Special Bonds» section of the Screener. Clicking this option will include zero-coupon instruments in your bond list.
