Sparebank 1 Boligkreditt’s long six year stumbles across finish line

Sparebank 1 Boligkreditt struggled to get investor traction on Tuesday morning for its €1bn long six year benchmark. The weak demand was in sharp contrast to last week’s €1.5bn five year bond from DNB Boligkreditt, with bankers away from the deal suggesting the long six year maturity may have been slightly too long for asset managers looking to shorten duration.
