April 11, 2018

PerpetualDiscounts now yield 5.42%, equivalent to 7.05% interest at the standard equivalency factor of 1.3x. Long corporates now yield a little over 3.9%, so the pre-tax interest-equivalent spread is now about 315bp, a slight (and perhaps spurious) narrowing from the 320bp reported April 4.
