Not all of them need explanation, and you should now know where to either enter stock symbols for U.S. Corporate Bonds or not enter them at all.<\/p>\n<p>You can also filter for (a) environmental, social, and governance (ESG) scores, or (b) according to the size of a company, how much outstanding debt it has on its books, or by several book value ratios.<\/p>\n<p>In the series of filters to the right, you can also (c) include or exclude bonds with specific characteristics, such as those that have previously defaulted, are trading flat, are callable or are exchange-listed.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, (d) the final column among the filters enables you to determine which economic sector the Bond Scanner adopts or drops from its search. For example, you may only wish to search for bonds in the Energy sector. Or if you wish to <em>exclude<\/em> the Utility sector from your bond search, you may check the relevant include or exclude box(es) before running your Search.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-14701 size-medium lazyload\" data-src=\"\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/01\/2022-0401_12_More-About-Filters.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"900\" height=\"506\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; aspect-ratio: 900\/506;\"><\/p>\n<h4><strong>Recap<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>This far, we\u2019ve illustrated how to use any of the available filters to narrow your bond search for<br \/>\ncorporates.
