  • Unilever breezed into the market with a debut $1bn 30 year global this week, taking advantage of a strong bid for high quality borrowers and duration to issue at one of the lowest yields ever achieved on a long dated bond. Investors could not get enough of Unilever's A1/A+ rated bond issue, which attracted $3bn of orders and was ultimately priced to yield 5.975%, or just 92bp over Treasuries.

  • A bank presentation was held in London on Wednesday for the senior syndication of the £426.4m loan for the new Wembley National Stadium.
