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:

• EUR – Germany
• USD – United Stated of America
• GBP – United Kingdom
• CHF – Switzerland

The deposit spread is presented in two formats:

1. As an annualized percentage yield differential: This measures the annual yield difference between the bond and the bank deposit.
2. As an absolute return premium: By multiplying the annualized yield differential by the bond's term and the specified investment amount, this calculation provides the cumulative extra earnings expected from investing in the bond instead of the deposit.

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

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':

• Euronext Paris
• Euronext Amsterdam
• Euronext Brussels
• Euronext Lisbon
• Euronext Dublin
• Euronext Oslo

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.

Please note that the pricing data provided by Bondfish is proprietary and may not be redistributed without explicit permission.

The classification of a bond that indicates the order of priority for repayment in the event of the issuer's bankruptcy:

• Secured and Senior bonds are repaid first.
• Senior Non-preferred bonds issued by financial institutions are repaid after Secured and Senior Preferred bonds.
• Subordinated and Junior Subordinated bonds are repaid last, so their holders may suffer the greatest losses if the borrower goes out of business.
