n Envision the corporate balance sheet. Specialist bankers are responsible for covering each component of a corporate balance sheet. In addition to delivering their own specialties, these bankers also work together to deliver multi-disciplinary solutions that encompass more than one section of the balance sheet.

Assets = Liabilities + Shareholders’ Equity

n The debt originators are responsible for underwriting transactions with their client base in a broad range of currencies: USD, EUR, GBP, JPY and AUD, as well as smaller ones.

n The risk marketers -- all highly specialized -- focus separately on interest rate, currency, commodity and credit risk

What is Debt Capital Markets?

The bankers within DCM focus principally

on the Liabilities component of the

balance sheet. While definitions can vary by firm, at DB all of

the corporate-facing debt originators and

risk marketers are within DCM

Treasury Yield CurveLast 20 years

Interest rates have fallen dramatically

over the last 20 years

The principal reason for this secular

decline in rates has been a precipitous decline in inflation

In recent years a decline to new low in

rates has been driven by the 2001-2002

High-quality corporate bonds are

quoted as basis point spreads to Treasuries.

The basis point spreads equate to

incremental yield for the greater credit risk

of a corporate bond versus a Treasury

bond

Corporate credit spreads are

theoretically driven by the probability of

default (failure by the borrower to pay

principal or interest) and the anticipated

recovery of principal (as a % of par) if there

is a default

Dow Chemical: A3/A- ( +126)

GlaxoSmithKline: Aa2/AA ( +69)

Corporate Yield = Treasury Yield + Corporate Spread (bps)

= Treasury Yield + (Amortization of implicit premium generated by writing puts on the equity of the specific company)

n Corporate bond investor accepts risks that equity cushion (SE = Assets minus Liabilities) will decline or even become negative (leading to an event of default)

n Equity volatility (both company-specific and in index form, as expressed by the VIX) influences corporate spreads as well. Low volatility translates into low implicit option premium and tight corporate spreads. Conversely, high volatility leads to high premium and wide spreads.

n Capital structure arbitrageurs look to profit from discrepancies in valuation of different layers of a given company’s capital structure.

in rates

to “bet” against this by overweighting

fixed-rate assets or floating-rate liabilities,

or both.

Cross-Currency Swaps

n A cross-currency swap can be used to convert interest and principal denominated in one currency into another currency (e.g., from the foreign currency into a company’s functional, or local, currency)

n Euro Fixed/Floating Swap: The Euro LIBOR leg is eventually crossed out by the Euro LIBOR leg from the Basis swap

n Basis swap: Adjusts floating-rates across different currencies: in this example between US$ LIBOR and Euro LIBOR

n USD Fixed/Floating Swap: The US$ LIBOR leg crosses out the US$ LIBOR leg from the Basis swap

Cross-Currency Issuance Case Study:SLM Corporation (A2/A) in Australian Dollars

n This transaction represents SLM’s inaugural offering in the Australian market, and at a total size of A$600mm, this was the largest single-A kangaroo bond ever issued in the Australian market

n With total annual unsecured debt issuance needs of $10+ billion, SLM looks to maximize investor diversification by issuing in multiple currencies and regions. Investor diversification leads to increased demand for SLM’s paper and ultimately more attractive debt pricing

n As such, Deutsche Bank recommended an Australian transaction, providing SLM with access to a completely new investor base. Being a new issuer in the Australian market, SLM was able to achieve attractive pricing as investors looked to include a new US credit in their portfolios

n As the US Dollar is SLM’s functional currency, the entire deal was swapped to US$. The attractive basis swap between A$ and US$allowed SLM to meet its funding targets

n This transaction met SLM’s goals of investor diversification and issuance at levels slightly better than US$ levels (2 to 3 bps)

n With such a successful transaction, SLM has positioned itself well to be a regular and well-received issuer in the domestic Aussie market

• Allows lower-rated companies to fund at approximately AA levels

• Transactions may represent risk transfer and qualify as sales

– Issuers don’t need to hold capital against securitized assets for regulatory capital requirements

– Issuers don’t need to reserve against loan losses on securitized assets

• The higher ratings on issuer’s securitization “debt” vs. its unsecured debt broadens its investor base and enhances its liquidity

• Securitization transactions are an effective tool for asset liability management, including maturity, currency, and basis (fixed vs. floating) management

The financial engineering of cash flows creates credit rating efficiency

As unsecured revolving debt obligations, credit card receivables offer limited recovery in the event of cardholder default.

To achieve investment-grade ratings, credit enhancement is needed to protect investors from changes in loss performance.

Credit enhancement is provided through:– Subordination (Class B and C tranches)

• Interest and principal payments are made to subordinate tranches only after all senior payments have been made.

– Excess spread is the net income of a securitization trust that flows back to the issuer.

– Spread or reserve accounts• A mechanism to capture excess spread if performance begins to deteriorate.
