How to read these pages

To find today’s bond prices …

Click on the menu item indicative pricing which takes you to tables listing around 150 bonds, giving basic details of the bonds, along with indicative pricing. We source these prices from most of the major broking houses. These prices are a composite of the reports from those brokers and may not necessarily represent an actual trade price. This pricing is updated each day around 11 am.

NZ Government bonds and interest rate swaps are listed at the top of the page.

The listings on the page are in sections by what type of coupon they have.

-          fixed rate,
-          annual reset
-          floating rate

Within each of these, they are then listed by bond type.

-          senior bonds, or standard fixed rate senior ranking, (the main type and what most people think of when they refer to ‘corporate bonds’)
-          subordinated bonds issued by banks
-          subordinated convertible bonds (often  known as capital notes or bonds)
-          redeemable preference shares

In the tables, clicking on the maturity date of a particular bond will take you to a page giving more detail on the bond including, where available, a link to the investment statement. Clicking on the issuer’s name will take you to a page detailing all that issuer’s bonds as well as news stories and a link through to the investor section of their website.
