Tepid take-up for long tenor Kreditbank

Deutsche Kreditbank (DKB) opened books on Wednesday on an Aa1-rated €500m 10 year mortgage-backed Pfandbrief, its second deal of the year and the third 10 year print to come out of Germany in 2014. A lead banker on the deal described the reception as tepid — a further indication of investor frustration with slender coupons offered by second tier Pfandbrief issuers, particularly on longer tenor bonds.
