September 19, 2018

PerpetualDiscounts now yield 5.54%, equivalent to 7.20% interest at the standard equivalency factor of 1.3x. Long corporates now yield 4.05%, so the pre-tax interest-equivalent spread (in this context, the “Seniority Spread”) is now about 315bp, a slight (and perhaps spurious) narrowing from the 320bp reported September 12.
