Save Your Favourite Bonds with BondScanner's New Watchlist
Introducing Watchlist: Your Personal Bond Shortlist
BondScanner has launched Watchlist, a feature that lets you save the bonds you are most interested in and find them all in one place whenever you are ready to invest. Whether you are tracking a high-yield bond you spotted earlier or comparing several options before making a decision, Watchlist keeps your shortlist organised and accessible.
The feature came from a simple request from Raghu, a BondScanner user, who asked: "Any way to add my favorite bonds in a single place?" That question captures exactly what Watchlist is designed to solve. Bond investing often involves researching multiple options over time, and without a way to save your finds, you end up repeating searches and losing track of bonds you wanted to revisit.
Watchlist changes that. It gives you a personal, curated view of the bonds you care about most, right inside the BondScanner app and website.
How to Add a Bond to Your Watchlist
Adding a bond to your Watchlist takes a single tap. Here is how to do it:
Browse the Explore tab or search for a bond you are interested in.
On the bond card or the bond detail page, tap the favourite icon.
The bond is instantly saved to your Watchlist.
To remove a bond, tap the same icon again and it will be removed from your Watchlist.
The favourite icon is visible on bond cards while you are browsing, so you can save bonds without having to open each one individually. This makes building your shortlist quick and frictionless, even when you are moving through a large number of options.
Where to Find Your Saved Bonds: The Home Tab
Once you have saved a bond, you can find your entire Watchlist under the Home tab in BondScanner. Your saved bonds appear together in a dedicated section, separate from the general Explore feed, so you can go straight to the bonds you have already filtered and curated.
The Watchlist view shows the key information for each saved bond, including the yield, rating, issuer, and maturity date, so you can compare your saved options at a glance without opening each bond individually.
Placing the Watchlist on the Home tab was a deliberate choice. Your saved bonds are not buried in a settings menu or a secondary screen. They are front and centre, part of the first thing you see when you open BondScanner, because your shortlist should be easy to get to every time.
How Watchlist Makes Your Bond Research Process Better
Bond investing is rarely an impulse decision. Most investors spend time researching options, comparing yields and ratings, thinking about their portfolio allocation, and then deciding. That research process plays out over multiple sessions on the platform, and without a way to save your progress, you lose continuity.
With Watchlist, you can build your shortlist across multiple browsing sessions. See a bond that looks interesting on Monday? Save it. Come back on Thursday to compare it with two others you found since then. Your Watchlist holds your research in progress so you never lose track of what you found.
This also reduces the time you spend on each session. Instead of browsing the full catalogue every time, you start with your saved bonds and then decide whether to look for new additions. Over time, your Watchlist becomes a reflection of your investing criteria, a shortlist that gets sharper every time you refine it.
Watchlist on App and Web: Synced Across Devices
Watchlist is available on both the BondScanner mobile app and the BondScanner website. Bonds you save on one platform appear in your Watchlist on the other. You do not need to save the same bond twice or manage separate lists depending on which device you are using.
This sync makes the research process more flexible. You might discover a bond on the website while doing a detailed comparison at your desk, save it, and then check back on the app while you are out. Your Watchlist stays consistent regardless of where you access it.
BondScanner is actively expanding the web experience to bring it in line with the mobile app. Watchlist is part of that effort, and more improvements to the web platform are on the way.
Build Your Bond Research List and Invest with Confidence
The best investing decisions come from good research, and good research requires a way to save and organise what you find. Watchlist gives you that. It turns BondScanner from a place you visit to browse into a platform that holds your work between sessions.
Start building your Watchlist today. Browse the bonds available on BondScanner, tap the favourite icon on anything that catches your attention, and use your Watchlist as the starting point for your next investment decision. When you are ready to commit, your shortlist is already there.
BondScanner continues to add more bonds to the platform and more tools to help you research and invest with clarity. Your Watchlist grows with you.
