Macquarie Bank Capital Notes

I have just received an offer to participate in the latest Macquarie Bank Capital Notes. It looks like a hybrid offer with yields at reference rate plus a margin of 3.3%, adjusted for franking. I am looking at it for my SMSF (in pension phase).

Do you think this is a worthwhile investment?

CWN

I have some concern regarding the recommendation by Charlie on CWN. I purchased them at first recommendation then doubled my stake.

I had concerns when my stake was $4,000 down, now it is $8,538 or 13% down, so what next?

If you still say CWN is fundamentally OK then do we buy more at this price?

Impacts on Australian FRNs

I am a subscriber and would appreciate your valuable opinion on the following scenario:

  • final QE tapering in October
  • reversing the QE program by unwinding the Bonds the US Fed holds
  • US interest rise in 2015, probably June quarter
  • upward pressure on US and global Bond yields
  • mixed outlook on Australian Banks by analysts
  • the possibility of the RBA tightening in mid to end 2015

What impact may above scenario have on Australian FRN’s?

I am holding MBLHB, NABHA, ORGHA, SCWPA, WOWHA and CWNHA among other positions in my SMSF, which is in the Pension phase.
