Field or Control Description

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 is reimbursed when the issuer next pays interest.
