Time Value of Money
Present and future values, annuities and loans, irregular cash flows and IRR, and converting rates between compounding frequencies.
A2

Compare the US Treasury curve across any dates since 2021, and follow yields and spreads such as 2s10s through time.
A3
Time Value & Curves
Curve Builder
Bootstrap par yields into zero, forward and discount curves, and see how the interpolation method changes forward rates.
A4
Time Value & Curves
Curve Shape and Spreads
Spreads and inversions with recessions marked, the 2s5s10s butterfly, and level, slope and curvature factors from PCA.
A5
Time Value & Curves
Curve Fitting
Fit Nelson–Siegel, Svensson or a spline to the Treasury curve, read the parameters, and find rich and cheap bonds.
A6
Time Value & Curves
Market Monitor
Where US rates closed: the Treasury curve, fed funds, SOFR, real yields and breakevens, with daily to yearly changes.
B1
Bond Analytics
Bond Calculator
Price ↔ yield for fixed-coupon bonds, with accrued interest, duration, convexity, DV01, the cash-flow table and yield to call.
B2
Bond Analytics
Spread Analyzer
G-spread, I-spread and Z-spread of a bond over the stored Treasury curve and swap rates.
B3
Bond Analytics
Key-Rate Duration and DV01
Key-rate durations and DV01 along the Treasury curve, with the Treasuries that would hedge each part.
B4
Bond Analytics
Scenario and Horizon Return
A bond's return to a horizon under curve and spread scenarios, split into income, roll-down, curve and spread.
B5
Bond Analytics
Price–Yield Visualizer
Up to four bonds' price–yield curves, with how far duration alone and duration plus convexity miss.
B6
Bond Analytics
Embedded Options
Value callable and putable bonds on a calibrated rate tree, with OAS and effective duration and convexity.
C1
Portfolio
Portfolio Builder
Build a bond portfolio and see its value, cash-flow yield, duration, DV01, curve exposure and cash flows by year.
C2
Portfolio
Immunization
Fund liabilities with two bonds matched in present value and duration, and test the surplus under rate shifts.
C3
Portfolio
Ladder, Barbell, Bullet
Build a ladder, a barbell and a bullet at the same duration and see which wins in which curve move.
C4
Portfolio
Concentration and Exposure
See where value and rate risk concentrate by issuer, sector, rating, maturity, country and currency, and check policy limits.
D1
Credit
Default and Recovery
From a spread to a default probability and back: value a bond from expected losses, and split its spread into expected loss and premium.
D2
Credit
Rating Migration
Project ratings over years from a transition matrix, and see why a BBB's bigger risk is a downgrade, not a default.
D3
Credit
CDS Pricer
Price a credit default swap on the ISDA standard model: fair spread, upfront, risky duration, and the basis to the bond.
E1
Other Instruments & Derivatives
Money Market
T-bills, commercial paper, CDs and repos, with every quote converted to discount, money-market, bond-equivalent and effective annual yields.
E2
Other Instruments & Derivatives
Floating-Rate Notes
Floating-rate notes on SOFR, €STR, SONIA or a term rate: price, discount margin, projected coupons, and rate against spread duration.
E3
Other Instruments & Derivatives
Inflation-Linked Bonds
Price TIPS from a real yield, project inflation-adjusted cash flows, and read breakeven inflation by tenor and over time.
E4
Other Instruments & Derivatives
Mortgage-Backed Securities
Pass-through cash flows under PSA, CPR or a refinancing model, with average life, yield at several speeds, and negative convexity.
E5
Other Instruments & Derivatives
Interest Rate Swaps
Price and value fixed–floating swaps, see one as a bond against an FRN, size a swap to change duration, and replay real rate moves.
E6
Other Instruments & Derivatives
Swaptions and Volatility
Price payer and receiver swaptions with normal or lognormal volatility, read a vol surface, and find implied vol.
F1
Risk
Value at Risk
Value at Risk and expected shortfall for a bond portfolio, by historical simulation or key-rate DV01s, with contributions and a backtest.
F2
Risk
Historical Stress Tests
Replay 1994, 2008, the taper tantrum, March 2020, 2022 and the 2023 bank stress on today's portfolio, and compare the losses with VaR.
