Top Countries (Index Level — last 36 months)

Top 1Y performers plotted for context. Lines may break if a series has missing months.
Methodology (click to expand)
  • Universe: Bonds classified by Country and raw Sector (as provided in your dataset).
  • De-duplication: Same ISIN held in multiple funds is aggregated at ISIN×month level.
  • USD normalization: Price_USD = Price / FX_Rate (FX_Rate=1 for USD).
  • Total return: Monthly price return plus carry approximation (prior-month YTW / 100) / 12.
  • Index return: Equal-weight average across bonds available in that country+sector for the month.
  • Time axis: Monthly mapping uses calendar_months.mapdatebond.
