Issue Number

Note: The CUSIP/CINS identifier entered here is validated using check-digit validation logic if a check digit exists for the security. If the security does not have a check digit appended to it, one is derived by the system and appended to the existing CUSIP/CINS identifier.

Coupon at Issue

Enter the applicable interest rate in decimal format.

Created By and Last Changed By

User ID and date/time stamp information that enable you to track changes to the security.

Seq (sequence)

Enter a number for each added row of market source information to determine processing order of the valuation.

Market Price

Enter the price of the security relative to the par value.

Purchased Interest

Displays the interest calculated from the interest-period, start date to the settlement date. This value is important for securities purchased in a secondary market.

For example, bonds usually pay interest every six months, but, interest is accrued by the bondholders on a day-to-day basis. When a bond is sold, the buyer pays the seller the market price plus the accrued interest, for which the buyer will be reimbursed when the issuer next pays interest.
