Why Use the Bond Analysis Report?

In the Bond Analysis report, you will find versatile sorting and charting options that let you answer many bond-related questions about your clients' portfolios, such as:

Example 1

An advisor has a client who has been retired for some time. The advisor initially set up a bond ladder to help supplement the client's other income payments. Now, the advisor wants to review the bond ladder to ensure the client's income stream remains uninterrupted over the next few years.

The advisor uses a basic Bond Analysis report to evaluate income by year for the next 10 years, with the Include average line for secondary value selected. This helps the advisor see the average amount of income from fixed income securities. Additionally, the advisor adds the Annual Income column to the table to see how each security contributes.
