Methodology Reuters Pricing Service (RPS) has eight experienced evaluators responsible for pricing approximately 20,000 investment grade corporate bonds. Corporate bonds are segregated into four industry sectors; industrial, financial, transports and utilities. RPS prices corporate bonds at a spread above an underlying treasury issue. The evaluators obtain the spreads from brokers and traders at various firms. A generic spread for each sector is created using input from street contacts and the evaluator's expertise. A matrix is then developed based on sector,rating, and maturity.
