China Convertible Bond: what is FID for accrued interest?

francis.chiu

For China Convertible Bond, I am trying to get the accrued interest through the API hence want to know the FID for this information.

For example in the terminal if I look for CN123107=SZ, I see a value for accrued interest in the screen. I tried to use the display all fields function to look for it but I couldn't find a field having the same value. I see one field ACCR_INT (1350) which seems to be it but it's value is zero.

Please advise the FID for accrued interest and how can I get the data through Elektron

Thanks

Hello @francis.chiu ,

As advised by @aramyan.h , Refinitiv helpdesk is the best way for the customers to obtain expert advice about Refinitiv content.

Refinitiv developer forum is moderated by developer advocacy, we can be of most help with API usage questions, but typically have very limited knowledge of the many content sets provided by Refinitiv.

Thanks for letting us know that you have been in communication with Refinitiv content support over case #11707201.

Whenever you indicate that you require assistance with accessing Refinitiv content via API, you will often be directed to Refinitiv developers portal- as happened this time. We are glad to help whenever we can, and often collaborate with our content colleagues on the client inquiries. You can often save time by first ascertaining the required content and next, working on the API integration.

The investigation on the case is not closed yet, the latest findings from our content expert are:

"... As of now, we only have FID 1350 (ACCR_INT) to hold accrued interest for non-convertible bonds listed in SZ stock exchanges.
For Non-convertibles, there is no accrued interest from the current data package we have license with exchange.
As workaround, we can use the bond's preferred RIC to retrieve accrued interest via FID 1350, which is calculated by our pricing database.
eg: for CN123107=SZ, its preferred RIC is CN123107CB=.

... Note: For those bonds called (expired earlier), there is no preferred RIC, so there is no accrued interest data."

At this time, the recommended content can be accessed using Refinitiv APIs, or you may wish to await till the findings for the case are finalized, and the case is closed with you being informed on the resolution of the case.

I hope that this information is of help.
