Corporate Bond Information: Bloomberg

To access a Bloomberg terminal visit Darden Camp Library and follow the login procedures.

From there you can use these instructions adapted from Harvard Business School's Baker Library.

• Use Custom Bond Search (Good for general searches across a swath of time or for multiple securities, green bonds etc.)
  1. Type SRCH then hit [GO]
  2. Fill in the relevant search boxes and click on Search for a customized list of bonds 

OR

• Use a company ticker
  1. Type a company ticker, hit the yellow CORP key, then hit GO for a list of bonds issued by the company and its subsidiaries; e.g., GM [CORP] [GO].
  2. Scroll through the list and select a specific issue. (Make sure the Exclude drop-down menu is set as desired. To sort the list click a column heading then select Sort Ascending or Sort Descending.)
  3. On the main menu for the selected bond, note the ticker for future reference; e.g., GM8 1/4 07/23.

To analyze bonds:
Browse a bond's main menu or type a shortcut and hit GO:

• CDSW for credit default swap analysis
• DES for description
• HP for historical price/yield table
• YA for yield analysis
• YAS for yield and spread analysis

  If you know a security ticker the full shortcut would be GM8 1/4 07/23 [CORP] YAS [GO].

  Use the blue fractional keys to type fractional denominators. Put a space between the whole and fractional parts; e.g., 3 3/8 is: 3 [Space] 3[1/8] [Space] date.
