Face value is shown on the Positions page as "Quantity". There are at least three ways you can determine the inflation index, aka index ratio:I hold TIPS at Fidelity. How do I find out the face value and current inflation index of the bonds I hold?
- Go to the Fixed Income Dashboard as explained by DukeBlue above.
- Look up on the internet. For example, December index ratios on TreasuryDirect, or Index Ratios 12/15/2024 - 1/1/2025 on my website.
- Calculate it using the values from Fidelity's Positions page. An example is given below.
Market Value = Face Value X Unadjusted Price X Index Ratio
Turning this around,
Index Ratio = Market Value / (Face Value X Unadjusted Price)
Or using Fidelity's terminology:
Index Ratio = Current Value / (Quantity X Last Price)
This is illustrated below for the July 2034 TIPS with an assumed price of 97 and an index ratio of 1.00570 on December 24th when Fidelity last valued TIPS holdings.
