Tool

Eurobond portfolio valuation

Paste your holdings — an ISIN and a face amount per line, a cost price if you want the profit or loss — choose the side and the date, and read off the clean price, the accrued interest, the market value of every line and the totals by currency. Download the valuation as a dated statement. Everything is worked out in your browser: your holdings are never sent to this site.

Your holdings

Separate with spaces, commas, semicolons or tabs. Face is the original face amount in the bond’s currency; the cost price is clean, per 100; the settlement date (2026-03-15 or 15/03/2026) adds the coupons received and, with a cost, the total return since you bought.

Price
The close of this day, or the last session before it.
Optional: an earlier close, to see the change since.
Official central-bank rates on the valuation date; the source and date are printed with the total.

Your holdings stay with you

The page downloads two files — the terms of every bond on the site and the closing prices for the date — and does the arithmetic on your device. No ISIN, amount or price you enter is sent to this site or to anyone else. Close the page and it is gone, unless you choose to save it to My portfolio under Account.

How each line is valued

The price is the site’s indicative close for the date chosen (the last session on or before it), on the side chosen; mid is the average of bid and offer. It is quoted per 100 of the face still outstanding, so a bond repaying in instalments is valued on the balance in force at that date. Accrued interest is counted on each bond’s own coupon dates and day count, read from its offering document, to the date chosen. Market value is face × factor × price / 100 plus the accrued interest. Profit or loss compares the clean market value with face × factor × cost / 100. With a settlement date, coupons received are the coupons and repayments paid since, and total return is the market value now plus that cash, less the clean price paid and the accrued interest paid at settlement. Each line shows the basis of its close — market (dealer pricing), DMO (an official reference price) or model (the site’s curve, where no quote was recorded) — and the date of that close, with a warning when it is older than the date chosen. The statement carries the File ID of the closing-prices file it was valued from, so the figures can be checked against the data room and the methodology. With a comparison date, each line also shows its change since that close: the market value now, less the market value then, plus the coupons and repayments the bond paid in between — the holding’s return in its own currency, on the same side.

The exchange rates

Totals can be shown in another currency at the official daily rate published by the central bank concerned: for the naira, the Central Bank of Nigeria’s NFEM rate (its volume-weighted average, which the CBN names the official exchange rate for the day); for the kwanza, the Banco Nacional de Angola’s reference rate; for the Rwandan franc, the National Bank of Rwanda’s official rate; for the Zambian kwacha, the Bank of Zambia’s mid rate at the day’s last fixing; for the cedi, the Bank of Ghana’s interbank mid rate; for the Kenyan shilling, the Central Bank of Kenya’s indicative rate; for the dirham, Bank Al-Maghrib’s cours de référence; for the West African CFA franc, the BCEAO’s reference rate (published a day or two after the day); for the rand and the euro, the European Central Bank’s reference rates (the rand crossed through EUR/USD). The Central African CFA franc is not published daily by the BEAC, so it is derived from the franc’s fixed peg to the euro (655.957) through the ECB’s EUR/USD, and labelled so. The rate used is the last one published on or before the valuation date, and a line is converted through the US dollar. The rate, its source and its date are printed with the total and on the statement. These are published reference rates, not rates at which anyone will deal.

Questions about portfolio valuation

How do I value my Eurobond portfolio?
Paste one line per holding — the ISIN and the face amount, and if you like the cost price and the settlement date — choose bid, mid or offer and a date (the latest close if you leave it empty), and press Value. Each line gets its clean price, accrued interest, market value and, with a cost, its profit or loss and total return, with totals per currency and a statement to download as CSV or Excel.
Which bonds can I value?
Every Eurobond with a page on this site: the sovereign bonds of 17 African countries, from Nigeria, Kenya, Egypt and Angola to Benin and Rwanda, and the corporate and supranational lines. The price pages list them all, with their ISINs.
How is the accrued interest calculated?
On each bond’s own coupon dates and day count (30E/360 or ACT/ACT), read from its offering document, from the last coupon date to the valuation date, on the face still outstanding for a bond that repays in instalments. It is the same calculation as the site’s cash calculator.
What is the File ID on the statement?
The first 16 characters of the SHA-256 fingerprint of the closing-price rows used. The same prices always give the same ID, so anyone can tie a valuation to the closing-prices file published in the data room.
Can I get my portfolio valuation by e-mail?
Yes. Sign in with your e-mail address (no password), keep the holdings in My portfolio and choose a statement every evening, every week or every month: the totals in the e-mail and the full statement attached as an Excel file. Free, and stopped in one click.
Can I deal at these prices?
No. They are indicative closing prices, based on dealer pricing and this site’s own model, for information only: not quotes at which anyone will trade, and not investment advice.

Every figure is indicative — a calculation on the stored terms and the site’s indicative closing prices, not a quotation, not an offer to deal and not advice. The Terms apply, clause 13 in particular.
