Fixed Income Analysis Tool
The Fidelity Fixed Income Analysis Tool can help you manage cash flow and understand the composition of your fixed income portfolio.
Key features
Fixed income positions |
View holdings by portfolio, account, or list. Sort positions by maturity. See positions that are maturing or may be called in the next 30 days (these positions will appear in bold). Group positions into any number of lists (e.g., tax-exempt, corporate). Create lists using Fidelity holdings, outside holdings, and hypothetical positions. Add positions held outside of Fidelity by importing an Excel spreadsheet or hypothetical positions discovered in a bond search. Import a potential bond ladder to assess the impact on your fixed income portfolio. Create and print a customized PDF report of your existing portfolio view (Fidelity and outside positions). |

Summary calculations |
For bonds and CDs, scan summary calculations for total market value, total par value, average price, average maturity-years, average estimated yield, annual interest income, and average coupon rate. |
Cash flow calculations |
Cash distribution for bonds and CDs View the historical and hypothetical future income of your interest payment and principal return in your Fidelity, outside, or hypothetical portfolio. View cash flow distribution as either a graph or table and sort by monthly or annual distribution. You can also see historical and hypothetical cash distribution by bond or CD position, credit ratings, issuer events, or taxability. Fixed Income Illustrator for bonds, CDs and bond mutual funds Use the Fixed Income Illustrator to view the hypothetical income for the current calendar year. View the historical and hypothetical future income principal and interest payments for bonds and CDs. For bond funds held at Fidelity, view the historical distributions for the prior months. For Fidelity held, outside, and hypothetical bond funds, it also displays a Hypothetical Portfolio Income for the current month to the end of the year. Results are calculated using one of three methods you input into the tool: 30-day yield, Indicated Annual Dividend (IAD), or a custom yield. The tool displays a total for each product type and a combined total of the portfolio assets. Bond Fund Income Illustrator Use the Bond Fund Income Illustrator chart to illustrate historical distributions and hypothetical future income for your bond fund portfolio—whether held by Fidelity, outside or hypothetical. For bond funds held at Fidelity, the tool will display actual fund distributions from previous months. However, income calculations for the current month and until the end of the year are hypothetical calculations and based on the yield type you selected. You have the option of applying a 30-day yield, IAD, or a custom yield. Your selected method will be used for all bond funds in your portfolio—whether held at Fidelity, outside or hypothetical. |
