Nykredit is Denmark’s largest lender and the largest issuer of mortgage covered bonds in Europe. The company has issued covered bonds since 1851 and the outstanding bonds amount to some EUR 140bn. Nykredit Markets is the Group’s investment banking arm and focuses on Nordic fixed income including covered bonds, government bonds and hybrids. Nykredit Markets has developed a number of bond indices, which track the Danish covered bond market. The two most widely used indexes are now available on RIMES.
- Nykredit Danish Mortgage Bond Index – Calculated daily on the basis of a portfolio composed of the most liquid covered mortgage bonds listed on the Copenhagen Stock Exchange.
- Nykredit Total Index – Comprises the entire actively traded part of the callable fixed-coupon Danish covered bond market. Nykredit Total Index is further divided into four sub-indices.
The new increased interest in especially long-dated Danish callable bonds among foreign investors has made Nykredit’s indices the market leading indices to track and measure performance on Danish covered bonds.
