We have published a list of the individual sterling corporate bonds held in the Asset Purchase Facility, as at 5 May 2022.

• Bonds held in the Corporate Bond Purchase Scheme – updated May 2022 (XLSX)

The maturity profile of the stock of corporate bonds held in the CBPS, in terms of aggregate nominal holdings, is illustrated in the chart below.

During purchases, we aimed for a balanced portfolio, allocating each bond eligible for purchase to a sector, using a common sector classification. Purchases were undertaken so that our holdings were broadly representative of each sector’s share within the list of eligible bonds. 

Because the sales process will ultimately entail selling all of the Bank’s holdings of corporate bonds, the Bank will not target specific sector shares at points in time. Information on sector shares will therefore no longer be published during sales.

Term Funding Scheme with additional incentives for SMEs (TFSME)

The Bank will publish on this page quarterly data showing, for each group participating in the TFSME, the amount borrowed from the Scheme and the net quarterly flows of lending to UK households and firms. The first publication on 4 June 2020 will show lending data only. This will include participants’ base stock of lending as of end-December 2019, and Q1 net quarterly flows of lending for participants who have had this data certified by end-May.
