BondManager is a portfolio manager for non-callable bonds with a number of analytical capabilities. It’s major components include BondAnalyzer, RateSensitivityExplorer, PortfolioNavigator, PositionTranscripts, and the Positions dialog.
BondAnalyzer reports current yield, yield to maturity, Macaulay duration, modified duration, convexity, and imputed market value (at a given change in yield). Present value coupons and present value par default to the current date, but can also be reported at other dates.
RateSensitivityExplorer depicts the relationship between yield and market value for up to four bond issues and the user’s portfolio in a comparative setting.
The Positions dialog allows you to create, delete, or modify of positions for a given bond issue, displaying existing positions for the issue with each row showing purchase date, number of bonds, purchase price, market value, capital gain, coupon income to date, net gain, and annualized yield. Issue totals for each column are also displayed, except that the issue’s annualized yield is the cost weighted average of the annualized yields for the individual positions.
PortfolioNavigator provides a similar, though read only view of the issues in the portfolio, with position rows interspersed with issue summary rows, and a portfolio level summary at the bottom.
PositionTranscripts provides portfolio information in a plain text format that can be saved to a file, e.g. for handoff to your tax accountant.
