# Phase 71: Sustainability-Linked Bonds (SLB) — COMPLETE ✅
**Status:** Done
**LOC:** 503 lines
**Category:** Fixed Income
## Summary
Sustainability-Linked Bonds (SLBs) are innovative debt instruments where coupon rates adjust based on the issuer's achievement of predefined ESG Key Performance Indicators (KPIs). Unlike green bonds, SLB proceeds can be used for general corporate purposes, making them more flexible for issuers.
This module monitors:
- SLB issuance and market overview
- KPI achievement tracking
- Coupon step-up triggers and probabilities
- Cost impact forecasting for investors
## Features Implemented
### 1. **SLB Market Dashboard** (`slb-market`)
- Overall market overview with tracked bonds and issuers
- Risk breakdown (high/medium/low)
- Macro environment context (Treasury yields, credit spreads)
- Bonds at risk of coupon step-up
### 2. **Issuer Analysis** (`slb-issuer <ticker>`)
- Issuer profile with stock performance
- Complete SLB portfolio breakdown
- Bond-by-bond KPI analysis
- Step-up exposure quantification
### 3. **KPI Tracker** (`slb-kpi-tracker`)
- Upcoming KPI measurement dates
- Days until measurement
- Urgency classification (Overdue/Urgent/Upcoming)
- Current status vs. targets
### 4. **Coupon Forecast** (`slb-coupon-forecast`)
- Probability-weighted expected coupons
- Potential cost impact per bond
- High-risk bonds identification
- Aggregate market metrics
## Data Sources
- **Yahoo Finance**: Issuer stock prices and performance
- **FRED**: Treasury yields (DGS10), credit spreads (BAMLC0A4CBBB)
- **Manual Database**: Known SLB issuances with KPI structures
### Tracked Issuers
1. **Enel SpA** (ENLAY) — Renewable capacity targets
2. **Charter Communications** (CHTR) — GHG emissions reduction
3. **European Investment Bank** — Sustainable finance volume
4. **Tokyo Electric Power** (9501.T) — CO2 emissions intensity
5. **Suzano** (SUZ) — Water consumption efficiency
6. **Adidas** (ADS.DE) — Scope 1+2 GHG emissions

## CLI Commands
```bash
# Overall market dashboard
python cli.py slb-market
# Analyze specific issuer
python cli.py slb-issuer ENEL
python cli.py slb-issuer CHTR
# Track upcoming KPI measurements
python cli.py slb-kpi-tracker
# Forecast coupon step-ups
python cli.py slb-coupon-forecast
```
## API Endpoints
The module exposes REST API endpoints at `/api/v1/slb`:
- `GET /api/v1/slb?action=market` — Market dashboard
- `GET /api/v1/slb?action=issuer&ticker=ENEL` — Issuer analysis
- `GET /api/v1/slb?action=kpi-tracker` — KPI tracking
- `GET /api/v1/slb?action=coupon-forecast` — Coupon forecasting
**Note:** API will be live after Next.js rebuild.
## Files Created/Modified
### New Files
- `modules/slb.py` (503 lines) — Core module implementation
- `src/app/api/v1/slb/route.ts` — API route handler
- `test_phase_71.sh` — Comprehensive test suite
### Modified Files
- `cli.py` — Added 4 SLB commands to MODULES registry
- `src/app/services.ts` — Added 4 SLB services
- `src/app/roadmap.ts` — Marked Phase 71 as done with LOC count
## Risk Scoring Methodology
The module uses a simple but effective scoring system:
- **Ahead** of target → 85% achievement probability → Low risk (score: 2)
- **On Track** → 65% achievement probability → Medium risk (score: 5)
- **At Risk** → 35% achievement probability → High risk (score: 8)
Risk scores ≥7 trigger "Monitor closely" recommendation.
## Cost Impact Calculation
For each bond, the module estimates:
```
Annual Cost Increase = Step-Up Rate (bps) × $10 per 1% on $1000 par
Total 5-Year Impact = Annual Cost × 5 years
```
This provides investors with concrete dollar amounts for step-up risk exposure.
## Real-Time Data
All market data is fetched live:
- Stock prices updated from Yahoo Finance
- Treasury yields from FRED (latest observation)
- Credit spreads from FRED BBB index
## Testing
Comprehensive test suite validates all 4 commands:
```bash
