Agenda
Danish mortgage banks will issue some DKK150bn in DKK-denominated 1Y-5Y
covered bonds and EUR3.8bn in EUR-denominated covered bonds - a total of
DKK172bn.
There is plenty of liquidity as DKK212bn in DKK-denominated noncallables and
EUR4.5bn in EUR-denominated covered bonds are maturing.
The Danish noncallable curve is very steep relative to the DKK swap, DKK OIS, EU
swap, EU OIS and German govt curve, and there is significant carry looking at
forward rates. See page 3.
The noncallables are cheap relative to DKK swaps and DK government bonds, as
well as swapped into EUR, USD and GBP (see pages 6-8).

Trade recommendations
Spread target at the auction:
•
Buy 1Y noncallable bullets @ 23-25bp (vs DKK OIS)
•
Buy 3Y non-callable bullets @ 14-16bp (vs 3M Cibor).
•
Buy 5Y noncallables @ 30-33bp (vs 3M Cibor)
RV trades
•
Sell DGB 2.5% 16 and DGB 4% 2017 and buy 3Y noncallables @ 92bp and 80bp,
respectively
•
Buy 3Y noncallables and pay 3Y EUR swap @ 30bp (6M Euribor)
•
Buy 5Y noncallables and pay 5Y EUR swap @ 55bp (6M Euribor)
•
Buy 1Y noncallables outright @-10bp. We do not see value in hedging 1Y non-callable
bullets given the dovish ECB.

The forward rates are 1Y forwards between 1/1/2017, 1/1/2018, 1/1/2019. Hence, these forward rates give an indication
of the steepness of the curve as well as the ”hedge” cost. Hence, the Danish noncallable curve is very steep relative to e.g. the
DKK OIS curve and EUR OIS.
Hedging in DK swap is expensive given the high forward rates.

Non-callable flex bonds are still attractive alternatives to EUR
covered bonds
Danish non-callable interest-reset bonds basis-swapped
from 3M CIBOR to 3M EURIBOR have traded at a pick-up

The spread between Danish covered bonds and EUR
covered bonds has increased in recent months as a result
of the recent spread widening – especially for the longer
maturities. In addition, we have seen a spread widening of
the EUR-DKK cross currency swaps.

Hence, Danish non-callable interest-reset bonds are
attractive alternatives to EUR covered bonds.

Non-callable flex bullets offer attractive pickup to Danish govies
•
Non-callable flex bullets offer attractive pickup to Danish govies. The GovYSC spreads
(spreads between non-callable flex bullets and the government bond curve) are at their
highest level in almost three years (if we exclude the period early in the year when we saw a
significant spike in the GovYCS).
•
The short-dated bonds (1Y and 3Y) offer particularly attractive pickup to Danish govies.
•
GovYCS curve is not as steep between 3Y and 1Y as the ASW curve.

Pricing of level 2A and level 3 assets relative to level 1B
•
There is large uncertainty about the pricing of level 3 assets relative to level 1B assets, and it is difficult to come up
with a clear indication of the fair value pickup between non-level 1B assets relative to level 1B assets.
•
Theoretically, an LCR investor would require a premium of 4bp and 38bp, respectively, to invest in a level 2A or 3
asset relative to a level 1B asset. This premium is calculated under the assumption that there is a risk weight of
10% and a funding rate of 40bp. This calculation is very sensitive to the funding assumptions and we assume that
there is no cap on the amount of level 2A and 3 assets.
•
LCR investors are not the typical level 2A and 3 investors, but LCR investors’ reduced incentive to buy level 2A and 3
assets should lead other investor types to require a premium to buy level 2A and 3 assets.
•
We estimate premiums to be 3-8bp between level 2A and level 1B, and 8-15bp between level 3 and level 1B assets.

•
•
•
Monetary financial institutions reduced
their share of DKK-denominated noncallable bullets by DKK227bn from

companies/pension funds and foreign
investors increased their share of DKKdenominated non-callable bullets by
DKK60bn and DKK38bn, respectively.
The outstanding volume of non-callable
bullets decreased by around DKK125bn
from December 2014 to September
2015.

Sell DGB 2.5% 11/16 and DGB 4% 11/17 and buy 3Y
noncallables at the auction
Switch out of DGB 2.5% '16 and DGB 4% '17 and into 3Y
noncallables at the auction, as
•There will be plenty of short-dated government bonds and bills in
the coming months as the Danish central bank will tap in the
DGB 0.25% 18, and sell a high volume of T-bills. A new 6mth Tbill will be introduced in December, and new 9mth or 12mth
T-bills may even be announced.

• There is significant excess return to move further out the curve
and "down" the credit in order to buy AAA-rated Danish covered
bonds. The forward rate between DGB 4% 17 and RD 1% Jan
19 is almost 2% - hence there is plenty of protection if rates rise
in two years’ time.
More easing from the ECB in December will likely include an
extension of the forward guidance - thus rates low for longer and rate cuts.
•
• Finally, if the ECB goes "nuclear" and increases QE significantly ,
then selling short-dated DGBs gives better protection than
selling short-dated EU government and covered bonds.

• A more "irrational" argument - DGB 4% 11/17 trades at 109,
while RD 1% 01/19 trades at 101.9 - so there is an excess
"revenue" of 7pts by selling DGB 4'7.

Bond supply set to continue falling at the November auctions
•
We expect just under DKK175bn in DKK-denominated bonds (including Kommunekredit) to
be auctioned at the November refinancing auctions, down around DKK15bn from last year’s
November auctions.
•
The supply of 1Y and 3Y bonds is set to decline by DKK17bn and DKK5bn, respectively,
from last year, while the supply of 5Y bonds is likely to increase by DKK6bn.
