    I would like to have a record of all holders of some bonds.

    When I look for a bond in Bloomberg I can use the code HOLD to see the holders, but the holders this command shows me account for only 5% of the total outstanding of the bond, how can I know who are the holders of the other 95%? this bond is 300MMUSD so there are many holders. I would like to record and oversee every transaction based in this bond.

    Maybe you know some source besides bloomberg to get this information.

    Thanks in advance

    Curious question - why would you want to know past owners? The trustee bank would know unless they are very old bonds held physically with coupons - very old, but a few still around. Street name - then, I believe even the trustee bank wouldn't know. In the US there is no 13F equivalent for bonds - so no report. Converts do hit the 13F if they are US companies.
