Getting started

SherpaBonds works without an account — anyone can browse the screener and view individual bonds (with a monthly cap on price views and AI searches). Signing in unlocks watchlists, portfolios, personalized recommendations, and higher quotas. Upgrading to Pro removes all caps and reveals the names of the institutions behind each Sherpa Signal.

The shortest path through the product:

  • Open the Screener — filter the universe by currency, sector, rating, maturity, etc.
  • Click any row to see Your Fit (personalized) and Sherpa Signal (institutional footprint) side-by-side.
  • Open the bond detail page for full Risk analytics, price history, and the issuer curve.
  • Add bonds to your Portfolio to feed the personalization engine.
