Bond Search
tpFins Bond Search is a transfer pricing tool for identifying comparable corporate bonds used to benchmark intercompany loans and other financial transactions. Users can filter bond data by currency, tenor, issuer profile, industry, and credit risk — across a database of 180,000+ fixed income securities.
For benchmarking tied to a specific testing period, tpFins includes historical yield data to support point-in-time analyses. Users can review the matched bond set, examine summary statistics, and export results for use in transfer pricing workpapers and supporting documentation.
How Bond Search works

Review comparable bonds
Examine the resulting bond set with key details such as issuer, ISIN, credit rating, yield to maturity, and pricing data.
Export data for benchmarking
Download bond-level results, yields, pricing data, and summary statistics for use in transfer pricing analyses and workpapers.

Why Bond Search is built for transfer pricing
Designed around the comparability factors and workflows that matter in transfer pricing benchmarking.
Historical ratings for the tested period
Credit risk changes over time. Bond Search supports screening based on historical credit rating information aligned with the relevant pricing or testing date — not just the latest available rating.
Transfer pricing-specific filtering
Apply search criteria aligned with the comparability factors that matter in transfer pricing, including credit quality, tenor, currency, and industry.
Full-data exports for deeper analysis
Export the underlying bond-level data and search criteria, not just summary statistics, so users can perform economic analyses and make comparability adjustments where needed.
Saved searches for repeatability
Save filter sets and reload them later to support recurring clients, annual refreshes, and year-over-year consistency — re-run the same criteria in seconds to support replication and documentation.

Export the underlying bond data and search criteria needed to support transfer pricing analyses and documentation.
