November 2015 refinancing auctions Jan Weber Østergaard Senior Analyst +45 45 13 07 89 [email protected] November 2015 www.danskebank.com/research Investment Research www.danskebank.com/CI Christina E. Falch Senior Analyst +45 45 12 71 52 [email protected] Jens Peter Sørensen Chief analyst +45 45 12 85 17 [email protected] 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). 2 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. 3 Plenty of value in Danish noncallable mortgage bonds RD 1 T 01JAN2017 IT RD 1 T 01JAN2018 IT RD 1 T 01JAN2019 RD 2 T 01JAN2020 RD 1 T 01JAN2021 RD 2 T 01JAN2022 RD 1 T 01JAN2023 RD 2 T 01JAN2024 yield -0.07% 0.31% 0.39% 0.55% 0.81% 1.11% 1.35% 1.51% dkswp6m dkkois euswp6m eurois 0.08% -0.37% -0.06% -0.28% 0.17% -0.28% -0.05% -0.27% 0.30% -0.15% 0.02% -0.21% 0.45% 0.00% 0.14% -0.10% 0.61% 0.17% 0.28% 0.04% 0.78% 0.34% 0.43% 0.19% 0.93% 0.50% 0.58% 0.34% 1.07% 0.66% 0.73% 0.49% DK govt* -0.59% -0.46% -0.27% -0.08% 0.27% 0.27% 0.59% 0.59% DE Govt* -0.37% -0.35% -0.28% -0.18% -0.06% 0.06% 0.22% 0.38% *Note.

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.

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.

During the same period, insurance 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.

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. 30 -0.60 20 -0.80 10 -1.00 Dec-14 • 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. 40 -0.40 0.60 0 Feb-15 Apr-15 Jun-15 spread RD 2 T 01JAN2018 Aug-15 Oct-15 DGB 2.50 15NOV2016 bp 80 0.40 70 0.20 60 0.00 -0.20 50 -0.40 40 -0.60 30 -0.80 20 -1.00 10 -1.20 -1.40 Oct-14 Source: Danske Bank Markets 0 Dec-14 Feb-15 Apr-15 Jun-15 Aug-15 Oct-15 18 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.
