Relative Value
We estimated fair value for CBA's new 5-year senior unsecured bond using a secondary curve interpolation approach.

The new issue was compared against CBA's existing EUR-denominated senior unsecured bonds maturing within +/-2 years of the 5Y tenor, sourced from Bloomberg NIA. Three same-issuer comparables were identified: CBA 4.2% 2029 (MS+30), CBA 3.8% 2030 (MS+33), and CBA 2.9% 2028 (MS+28).

Peer set expansion was not required - three active same-issuer points provide sufficient curve construction for an issuer of CBA's depth.

Liquidity was verified on Bloomberg ALLQ. CBA 4.2% 2029 is the most actively traded (3 dealer quotes, tight bid-ask) and was adjusted 1 bps tighter to reflect its superior liquidity relative to the interpolated point.

Step 1: Calculate fair value from secondary curve
Interpolated 5Y FV from the three comparables: MS+31
Step 2: Adjust for liquidity differences
Liquidity adjustment on CBA 4.2% 2029: +1 bps. Adjusted FV: MS+32
Step 3: Apply hedging cost assumption
XCCY basis: 1.5 bps. Hedged spread estimate: SONIA+65 bps
Step 4: Compare to market spread
IPT spread MS+36 vs FV MS+32 = +4 bps new issue premium
This valuation supports proceeding with the trade, as the new issue premium provides adequate compensation for liquidity and execution risk. The 4 bps premium is in line with CBA's 12-month average NIP of 3-5 bps for 5Y senior paper.
