Finding New Convertible Bond Issuances in Bloomberg

Summary

The document gives a Bloomberg Terminal route for finding individual equity-linked security and convertible bond issues, aimed at users who want issuer-level listings rather than market-wide issuance statistics. The suggested workflow is to open the NIM5 function, select the Issue History view, and enter a date range to retrieve relevant securities.

The answer is a concise search tip rather than a detailed guide. It does not explain how to filter the results specifically to convertible bonds, how current the function or interface is, or how to verify that the returned securities meet a particular definition of a convert. The document provides no examples or comparison with other data sources, so users may need to refine the results in Bloomberg.

Key ideas

• Bloomberg’s NIM5 function can display equity-linked securities.
• The Issue History view allows users to specify a date range.
• The answer offers a terminal search route rather than a broad market-issuance statistic.

What is the best way to find new convert bond issuances? I have access to a Bloomberg terminal and google, and between the two I feel I ought to be able to find new issuances, but I can't. Every time I try to search NEWI's on google I get weird articles about total convert issuance numbers for 2017 in USD and other such things that don't give me a list of companies to look at. Just macro stuff I'm not interested in at the moment. I've asked a lot of places so hopefully I can get something here. Thanks.

NIM5 , will pull up equity linked securities and you can input a date range if you toggle the Issue History radio button.
