Nordea Kredit and Nykredit Realkredit wrapped up adjustable rate mortgage (ARM) bond auctions today (Thursday) and BRFkredit is set to finish its sales tomorrow, with an official at BRFkredit saying that “no hiccups whatsoever” have affected the autumn auctions so far.
DLR Kredit sold a heavily oversubscribed Dkr2bn (Eu268m) October 2016 senior secured issue on Tuesday, benefitting from a tightening of spreads after the ECB rate cut at the beginning of May, according to the issuer and leads.
DLR Kredit is planning to launch its second senior secured issue later this month, a Dkr2bn (Eu268m) maximum deal, while Nykredit has become the first Danish mortgage bank to take advantage of legislative changes allowing §15 issuance out of RO capital centres.
Spreads on Nykredit ARM bonds widened slightly today (Thursday) after some tightening of its one year bonds yesterday broke a softening trend, while levels on Realkredit Danmark and DLR Kredit one year bonds were almost unchanged.
BRFkredit Group’s pre-tax profit almost doubled in 2012, as a result of increased lending activities, lower costs, and higher earnings from the issuer’s investment portfolios, according to an official at the Danish lender.
DLR Kredit reported a 63% growth in pre-tax profit in 2012, driven by higher administration fees on its portfolio and declining provisions for loans, according to an official at the issuer.
DLR Kredit wrapped up the 2012 year-end refinancing auction season for Denmark’s mortgage banks on Monday after Nykredit finished its sales last Thursday, with the issuers reporting that the auctions resulted in record low rates for borrowers.
DLR Kredit cut its ties with Moody’s on Monday, a move that it had planned for some time and was able to implement after its General Capital Centre was rated by S&P last week, and the issuer believes having triple-A ratings in place is having a beneficial impact on its December auctions.
DLR Kredit on Wednesday for the first time issued senior secured debt pursuant to Section 33e of Danish covered bond legislation, selling Dkr4bn (Eu536m) of what are also known as Junior Covered Bonds.
Spreads on one year adjustable rate mortgage (ARM) bonds sold by DLR Kredit narrowed versus Nykredit ARM bonds on the second of two days of auctions by DLR, said analysts, after the issuer obtained a preliminary triple-A rating of its Capital Centre B issuance from S&P.
