Bquant Webinar: Muni New Issue Performance

There are many reasons investors buy new municipal bonds in the primary market — availability, index tracking, and potential performance among them. If performance is a key concern when evaluating new issues, Bloomberg has released a new BQuant app that helps track primary-market performance. The app sets unique start-dates (date of issuance) and user-defined end-dates to measure yield changes, then tenor-matches a benchmark to compare its yield change over the same period.

Join us to walk through how the app works and, in conjunction with the Bloomberg Terminal, explore factors that have driven past performance and potential use cases for clients. What you'll learn 
  • How to set up new-issue cohorts and unique start/end-dates in BQuant 
  • Tenor-matching to benchmark yields for apples-to-apples comparisons 
  • Interpreting primary vs. benchmark yield changes over custom windows 
  • Practical workflows that combine the BQuant app with Terminal functions
