A very similar bond which has rallied 30bp less than the BBVA is the Nationwide (uK Building society) 6.875% perpetual which currently yields 6.4% and is likely to be called in 5years time. It has a tierl capital trigger of 7% and current tierl capital ratio is 13% which is fair margin. The Nationwide one I'm suggesting today is rated Fitch/S&P BB+, its parent is Fitch/s&P rated single-A The BBVA bond we tried to buy earlier is rated Fitch BB-, its parent is S&P rated BBBI suggest scaling L2mm at 6.5% and £2mm at 6.75%.
