BMO and Cafill cover 2015’s maturity range

Bank of Montreal (BMO) and Caisse Française de Financement Local (Caffil) respectively issued one of the shortest and longest covered bonds of 2015. BMO’s five year appealed to a wide audience enabling the borrower to issue a large €1.5bn deal. Though Caffil’s €500m 20 year appealed to a smaller audience, the very high quality investor base it appeals to bodes well for the deal’s long term performance.
