One Savings Bank 1SBB

#206959

Postby 88V8 » March 11th, 2019, 11:31 am

With the 2019 ISA almost upon is, perhaps worth mentioning these less well-known PIBS, a legacy of the Kent Reliance BS.

Nominal coupon is 7.875% but there was a reset in 2014 and they currently yield a nice 6.3% or so.

I don't know if the planned merger of One Savings Bank and Charter poses a call risk, but trading around par, there Is no apparent capital downside.

A useful addition to one's ISA or other tax shelter.

A few words here
http://www.fixedincomeinvestor.co.uk/x/ ... 12&aid=750

The companion sub 1SBA has a substantially lower yield - around 4.8%. One reason I was seeking the old thread on Mark Taber's former site was to be reminded of the reason for the yield disparity. There's always a reason.

To the best of my knowledge the current status of the two issues are:

1SBA - current coupon (from last reset) 4.5991% - next reset 7/3/2021 . Issued as 6.591% PIBs. Callable on any int date. Resets to 5yr Gilt+340 bp
1SBB - current coupon (from last reset) 5.9884% - next reset or call 27/8/2019 . Issued as 8.785% PIBs Callable on any reset date Resets to 5yr Gilt+400 bp

Note that 1SBA can be called on any interest date whereas 1SBB can be called on reset date, if I have understood what I have read correctly

Yes. The 6.3% that I referenced came from HL, should have checked it, seems to be the approx YTC. As you say, the running yield is 5.9884% and at current 5 yr gils, the August reset would be at 5.9%.

Nevertheless I like 1SBB as they are a change from the usual suspects. And, safe from the capital exposure that exists with much of our favourite Fixed Interest, from 'reorganisations' such as Aviva tried last year.

Here, the call potential is baked into the price.
So today, I can buy 1SBB for c98p.

Or 1SBA for 97p, with a YTC of 4.7% which seems bizarre. I haven't dug around in search of a reason.

There was a thread on Mark's vanished site where the usual suspects were analysed for their 'call' susceptibility, and iirc the most immune were BWRA and NWBD, with ELLA politically safe because Ecclesiastical have said they wouldn't, and BOI and AV.A/B perhaps safe because they got such a drubbing last time.

Thanks for this info, I am interested in adding some PIBs but need to understand them a bit more. Would I be correct in thinking that if held outside an ISA then the yield would be a part of my tax free dividend allowance?

PIBS income is classified as interest, so it's the £ 500/ £ 1000 allowance.

Preference Shares on the other hand are treated as dividends, not that a Building Society can issue them.

Surely the reset Gilt 5 yrs plus 400bp = 4.9%, not 5.9%
5 year Gilt yield is .94% ??

Yes, thankyou, oops fat finger.

I see the price is holding up, notwithstanding no more coupons until reset date. Perhaps there is expectation of redemption. Given the Charter merger and associated capital raising, that would seem questionable.

If it isn't called in July 2019, it will reset at around 4.85%-4.90% if LIBOR doesn't change by then which doesn't seem likely

Then it's locked in at 4.85-4.9% for the next 5 years so it depends where you think interest rates are going. If you think interest rates are going down then the purchase price looks good, if you think they are going up it's going to look a little expensive.

I'd say it's about fairly priced with 1SBA being overpriced compared with the rest of the market. Having said that I feel everything is overpriced at the moment and I'm not buying anything fixed income related until prices pull back a bit. This is because I perceive interest rates rising once Brexit is fixed and I don't want to be locked in for too long with fixed returns of around 4.5-5.5%

All a bit annoying as it's ISA season. I perceive prices get bid up at this time and the best time to buy fixed income won't be for another couple of months. Of course there's a cost to sitting on cash waiting for good prices...

Up over 7% so far this morning, Barclay's probably have something to do with it.

These currently have a YTM of about 9%, assuming my calculations are correct

If they are not called on the next reset date (27 August 2024) then the coupon increases to 5 year gilt plus 4% (current coupon is 4.6007%)

Chances of a call are high (they called 1SBA)

Another reasonable place to hold cash for a few months perhaps

That's not a bad suggestion Woz.
5-Year gilt is around 4.7% so if 1SBB is not called next year and other things being equal you might end up with an 8.7% yield for the following 5-years.
Hargreaves Landsdown screen currently indicates a 96 buy price on a very wide spread (92.75 - 96).
Yield to call next year would be about 8.6%

Having sold a majority of my fixed income portfolio a couple of years ago I'm now looking for decent quality bonds yielding 8% plus. SAN is another one on my radar as are GACA or GACB.
Do you know of any others getting into that territory?

Sorry, missed your post

The spread when you get actual quotes for buying and selling is narrower than the first screen price

Have bought some SAN this afternoon - you've probably seen the posts on the Gilts etc board above with the resurgence in interest for these.

Once you take stamp duty, dealing costs into consideration and correct to a clean price, the yield comes out at a smidgen over 8% in line with your comments.

Nothing else to suggest at present

The Skipton 12.875% SKIP is over 8%, phone at ii.

Thanks for your suggestion V8. I did try to buy some through II but the process was becoming so labourious that I gave up.
At one time, before the latest ownership change, it was possible to get through to the bond trading desk and have a sensible conversation about bonds. Alas, no more.
I bought some CLIG instead.

Yes, do they even have bond specialists any more... perhaps for the big hitters... I must admit it is a bit tedious having someone parrot stuff off the screen that one could do oneself if one had the access, but faux de mieux... CLIG a relative tiddler not much discussed hereabouts or even in The Other Place, I hold, current yield >8% just covered, the SP has wobbled around and basically gone nowhere in five years and more.
Not a bad home for a small percentage of one's pot.

All a bit o/t for 1SBB.

Has anyone reviewed the 'risk' of this instrument? Skipton seems to be an estate agent with the Building Soc. bolted on the side nowadays.

Thanks, Surerera, I was thinking about topping up a few more but I think they might be better options out there
