A deal from Vanquis Bank, a securitization of credit card receivables, is the latest deal in a revival of an asset class that has been moribund since the 2008 financial crisis. We examine why this market is making a comeback now and what makes it different this time. Insurance companies have been on a spree of tier two issuance lately. We explain why and discuss why investors might be reaching their limit and what issuers can do about it. Finally, we return to a hot topic from last week's show — whether a public sector bond issuer can price a deal at a tighter yield than US Treasuries. It appears that there is some reticence among issuers to be the first, even though doing so would be a major milestone. We examine why that is and explain why it might still happen over the summer anyway. Listen to the new podcast episode here: https://lnkd.in/dHGTfq8i
