Does anyone have some advice/tools/tips/tricks for tracking all the next coupon dates for your bond or cd ladders?
I currently have a ladder containing 45 bonds/cds. After I make a new purchase I manually enter the details into a tracking google spreadsheet to track all the CUSIPs, amounts, and their maturity dates so I can easily sort and visualize when they will mature.
I tried to improve the spreadsheet to add the upcoming coupon payment dates, so I could easily visualize those as well. But I am running into many of the same calculation issues described in the thread Treasury Accrued Interest - ACCRINT & COUPDAYS Functions. It seems straightforward to calculate that first coupon date after the settlement date, but trying to calculate out the next coupon date after today results in inaccurate dates.
I did some searching for existing tools or spreadsheet templates that can properly calculate the next coupon date after today, but I have come up empty handed. Does anyone know of an existing website/tool/template/script/whatever to do that coupon date calculation?
Or will I need to go deep into these spreadsheet calculations myself.
thanks!
