Can you explain the workings of NAB Capital Notes 6 NABPI
Hi James, I have read the info on the NAB website relating to NABPI. This hybrid was mentioned in the Monday newsletter. Does the (secondary) market value of capital notes (like NABPI) diminish when interest rates rise? Why would that be the case if they pay above the Bank Bill rate and BB seem to rise and fall pretty well in line with cash rates. Is it a sentiment thing, people will sell their capital notes when they think they can get better than 3.5% above the BB rates elsewhere (ie equities)? Not sure if this question makes sense... if it doesn't happy with a brief explanation of what moves the secondary market for these products. cheers Alain
