LBBW issues rare Eurodollar Pfandbrief

LBBW successfully issued a $500m three year Reg S Pfandbrief on Thursday. As the deal funded dollar assets, no swap costs were involved and the overall funding was marginally cheaper for LBBW than the level it could have achieved in euros. But with Pfandbrief yields negative in this tenor, euro issuance would have been impractical.
