CREDIT SUPPLY

ING (INTNED: Baa1 pos/A-/A+) issuing USD AT1 today; we see fair value around 7.5% yield area.

  • ING is issuing USD benchmark PerpNC10 AT1 fixed sub debt with IPT at 7.875% yield area. Expected ratings are Ba1/BBB. Books are already above USD3bn.
  • Using 10yr swap rate of 3.31%, IPT translates to MS+457bp. ING’s curve includes a couple of older issues (INTNED 4.25% and 4.875% Perps) which have older structures and lower resets (5yr Treasury +286bp and +350bp). It does have some more modern issues (e.g. INTNED 8% Perp) which is a better indicator with very different reset (5Y SOFR +436bp).
  • ING is similarly rated to SANTAN which has an adjacent issue (SANTAN 8% Perp) at a slightly shorter workout. As the UBS (better rated) curve also shows, these curves really flatten out beyond 5-7yrs. We feel that SANTAN issue is a better comp, even though the INTNED 8% does trade tight with UBS (scarcity value?), so we see fair value around MS+420bp area, which translates back to around 7.5% area.
