This Connector takes the heavy lifting out of the math. Instead of pulling out a spreadsheet or running manual formulas every time a market price fluctuates, you can just ask your agent to do the work. It handles the core metrics you need to make informed calls, from basic yield calculations to complex risk assessments. When you connect this to your setup via the Vinkius catalog, you get a way to stress-test your holdings against different interest rate scenarios in seconds. You can see exactly how much a bond's price will move if rates jump or drop, giving you a clear picture of your exposure. It's about getting the numbers right the first time so you can focus on the actual strategy rather than the arithmetic. ## Tools ### get_bond_yield_metrics Calculate Yield to Maturity (YTM), Current Yield, and interest rate sensitivity. It provides the core data needed to value a bond and understand its risk. ## Prompt Examples **Prompt:** ``` What's the annual return on a bond priced at 950, face value 1000, 5% coupon, semi-annual, 5 years left? ``` **Response:** ``` The bond's yield profile is as follows: * **Yield to Maturity (YTM):** ~6.17% * **Current Yield:** 5.26% * **Frequency:** Semi-annual * **Maturity:** 5 years This bond offers a higher return than the coupon rate due to the discount on the market price. ``` **Prompt:** ``` How much risk does a bond at 980, 4% coupon, 10 years to maturity carry if rates move? ``` **Response:** ``` For a bond with these characteristics, the risk metrics are: * **Modified Duration:** ~8.25 * **Convexity:** 75.4 This means for every 1% change in interest rates, the bond's price will move by approximately 8.25%. ``` **Prompt:** ``` If rates jump 100 basis points, what happens to a bond with a 6% coupon and 3 years to maturity? ``` **Response:** ``` Based on a 6% coupon and 3 years to maturity (at a market price of 950): * **Rate Shift:** +100 basis points (1.00%) * **Estimated Price Change:** ~4.5% decrease Your position will lose value by roughly 4.5% if rates rise by 100bps. ``` ## Capabilities ### Calculate YTM and Current Yield Get immediate yield figures based on market price, face value, and coupon rates. ### Determine Modified Duration Find out how much a bond's price will move for every 1% change in interest rates. ### Measure Convexity Get a more accurate picture of price curvature for larger interest rate moves. ### Estimate Price Volatility See predicted price changes for specific shifts like 1bp, 25bp, and 100bp. ### Value Fixed-Income Instruments Get a complete valuation profile for any bond in your portfolio. ## Use Cases ### Predicting the impact of a rate hike A trader needs to know the impact of a 100bp rate hike. The agent uses get_bond_yield_metrics to show a 4.5% price drop on a specific bond. ### Comparing bond yields An analyst is comparing two bonds. The agent calculates the Current Yield for both to see which offers a better immediate return. ### Sizing a hedge A manager wants to hedge a portfolio. The agent pulls the Modified Duration to help size the hedge correctly based on interest rate risk. ### Quick valuation of new issues A quick check on a new bond. The agent provides the YTM based on the current market price and face value for a fast assessment. ## Benefits - Stop manual spreadsheet entries by using get_bond_yield_metrics to pull yields directly into your workflow. - Get instant Modified Duration and Convexity figures to see how price reacts to rate changes without manual math. - Run what-if scenarios for 1bp, 25bp, and 100bp shifts to see immediate price volatility on your holdings. - Speed up your research by getting YTM and Current Yield for any bond price and coupon rate in one go. - Reduce human error in complex fixed-income math by letting your agent handle the formulas every time. ## How It Works The bottom line is you get precise bond valuations and risk profiles without touching a calculator. 1.
