    Nor do the managers disclose any information from which the value they assign to the bonds they hold can be worked out. One can only work out the total value of each bond that they hold.
    Some Bonds have no maturity Snoopy.
    Well I'm assuming spec prefs count as Bonds but maybe wrong must check.

    For post 10 (uncompleted as I write this), I envisaged taking the 'fund yield' and comparing that to the 'market yield' to get an indication of the capital losses realized by selling down the bond portfolio. It would be an approximate result. But I wouldn't need to know the details of the bond portfolio to calculate a figure.

    Check out the total portfolio holding in post 14. All the bonds held seem to have maturity dates.

    But it only shows the percentage of their total value in each bond. Can't work out what value they assume for any bond with the information.

    Yes. But if you look at the NZX 'daily NTA' announcement for this fund on 31st May 2023 (issued on 1st June 2023) , NZB discloses that there were 144,077,077 units on issue on that day valued at $2.87196 dollar per unit. So the total value of the fund on that date was:

    $2.87196 x 144,077,077 = $413,783,602

    Using that as the 100% figure, you can work out the dollar value of the individual constituents because you know the percentage value that each constituent makes, as a part of the total value of the fund. For example the cash balance in the ANZ bank on that day was:

    0.018554 x $413,783,602 = $7.677m

    At its simplest and crudest, the basic equation of bond funds is a pre-tax yield of 4%, with a management fee of 1%.

    This is factually inaccurate but emotionally correct.

    Yes I know that, but you can't see how many of each bond they have, which means you have nothing to divide 'the dollar value of the individual constituent' by to find out what they consider to be its unit worth.
    So it is unknown if they are 'marking to market' or still valuing them at face value. The low yield would be explained by not marking to market.

    If you look at the 31st July 2023 monthly report here
    https://smartshares.co.nz/types-of-f...sh/nzbondtrust

    Under 'Portfolio Characteristics', the fund yield is listed as 5.59%. If I look at the portfolio constituents from post 14, there is only one bond with a coupon rate greater than that: Meridian Energy's 5.91% bond. This indicates to me that the capital value of those lower interest rate bonds must have been marked down.

    There is no other way to achieve a 5.59% current portfolio yield, unless these mark downs were done.

    I am wondering if you need to know that? We don't know which constituents NZB are buying or selling either - as unitholders opt to put more money into NZB or take it out.

    But if we know:
    a/ The weighted average interest rate of the entire NZB portfolio and, as an example,
    b/ A reference government stock rate which is changing but can be pinpointed on a particular day (say the five year rate),

    THEN we can work out the average capital loss carried by the whole NZB fixed interest portfolio. This was the way I was considering tackling the valuation problem.
