Tracking government bonds

Skarbfolio keeps a catalog of Ukrainian and US Treasuries. A bond you add from the catalog brings its coupon schedule with it.

1. Go to Holdings and click Add holding, then pick Bond.
2. At the top, choose Ukraine or US. In Code / issuer, search by code (UA4000… for a Ukrainian Treasury, the CUSIP for a US Treasury), issuer, term (10-Year) or maturity year, and pick the issue.
3. Enter Bonds (count), Purchase price (total) and the Purchase date.
4. Save.

What the catalog gives you

• Coupons and repayment — upcoming coupon payments and the repayment at maturity show up on Income and on the overview.
• A daily price for US Treasuries — the official end-of-day price, usually from the previous business day, so the bond's value follows the market.
• Ukrainian Treasuries have no market price feed — they're valued at the price you last paid.

US Treasuries

• One bond is $100 of face value, and its price is the usual quote in percent of par: a price of 99.53 means $99.53 per bond. $10,000 of face value is 100 bonds.
• Bills, notes and bonds are covered. A bill pays no coupon, so the catalog shows its auction yield instead (e.g. "4.12% yield"). Matured issues don't come up in the search, but typing a matured issue's exact code still finds it. Inflation-protected (TIPS) and floating-rate notes aren't, because their value depends on an index the catalog doesn't track — add them as a custom asset.
• Treasuries imported from Interactive Brokers are matched to the catalog by CUSIP.

A bond that isn't in the catalog can be entered by its terms; Polish savings bonds have their own type.
