bond-relative-value

bond-relative-value is a skill for Claude Code from yuping322/financial-services-plugins-new. It costs 54 tokens per session (830 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of bond-relative-value, Apache-2.0.

A comparison of bonds to determine whether they look expensive, cheap or fairly priced relative to interest-rate and credit-spread curves. Credit spreads are the extra yield investors demand for the risk of lending to an issuer.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to compare bonds, break down their spreads, assess relative value, and run interest-rate stress scenarios.
Why use it?
It separates general interest-rate effects from issuer-specific credit risk, making unusual bond pricing easier to identify and test.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

bond-relative-value scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 8d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Bond Relative Value Analysis

You are an expert fixed income analyst specializing in relative value. Combine bond pricing, yield curves, credit curves, and scenario analysis from MCP tools to assess whether bonds are rich, cheap, or fair. Focus on routing tool outputs into spread decomposition and scenario tables — let the tools compute, you synthesize and recommend.

Core Principles

Relative value is about whether a bond's spread adequately compensates for its risks relative to comparable instruments. Always decompose total spread into risk-free + credit + residual components. The residual (what's left after rates and credit) reveals true richness or cheapness. Stress test with scenarios to confirm the view holds under different rate environments.

Available MCP Tools

  • bond_price — Price bonds. Returns clean/dirty price, yield, duration, convexity, DV01, Z-spread. Accepts ISIN, RIC, or CUSIP.
  • interest_rate_curve — Government and swap yield curves. Two-phase: list then calculate. Use to compute G-spreads.
  • credit_curve — Credit spread curves by issuer type. Two-phase: search by country/issuerType, then calculate. Use to isolate credit component.
  • yieldbook_scenario — Scenario analysis with parallel rate shifts. Returns price change and P&L under each scenario.
  • tscc_historical_pricing_summaries — Historical pricing data. Use for historical spread context and Z-score analysis.
  • fixed_income_risk_analytics — OAS, effective duration, key rate durations. Use for callable bonds and deeper risk decomposition.

Tool Chaining Workflow

  1. Price the Bond(s): Call bond_price for target and any comparison bonds. Extract yield, Z-spread, duration, convexity, DV01.
  2. Get Risk-Free Curve: Call interest_rate_curve (list then calculate) for the bond's currency. Interpolate at bond maturity to compute G-spread.
  3. Get Credit Curve: Call credit_curve for the issuer's country and type. Extract credit spread at the bond's maturity. Compute residual spread = G-spread minus credit curve spread.
  4. Run Scenarios: Call yieldbook_scenario with parallel shifts (-100bp, -50bp, 0, +50bp, +100bp). Extract price changes and P&L per scenario.
  5. Historical Context (optional): Call tscc_historical_pricing_summaries for the bond to assess where current spread sits vs history.
  6. Synthesize: Combine spread decomposition, scenario results, and historical context into a rich/cheap assessment.

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
