Corporate Bonds: High Denomination Per Unit Is A Barrier To Entry - Difficulty Of Access To Corporate Bonds For Retail Investors - Boerse Stuttgart Calls For Lowering Of Threshold For Requirement To Produce A Prospectus

Date 19/05/2015

Since the prospectus law was amended in 2012, the requirement for a company to produce a prospectus for corporate bonds only applies to offers of securities with a denomination per unit of less than EUR 100,000. The consequences are clear: to avoid the expense of drawing up a prospectus, over the past few years increasing numbers of companies have issued new bonds with a denomination per unit of EUR 100,000 or more. An analysis by Boerse Stuttgart shows that in 2014 only 171 of the total 770 corporate bonds issued in the euro area had a denomination per unit of less than EUR 100,000. That represents 22 percent of the total. Of the 244 new corporate bonds issued so far in 2015, only 51, or around 21 percent, have had a denomination per unit of less than EUR 100,000. In 2010, by comparison, 88 percent of corporate bonds had a denomination per unit of less than EUR 100,000. As Michael Görgens, Head of Fund and Bond Trading at Boerse Stuttgart, said: ‘The current regulation refuses retail investors’ access to a whole range of securities, because a minimum investment of EUR 100,000 is generally not feasible for them. Also, with a denomination per unit this high, it is not possible to achieve adequate diversification without a portfolio amounting to millions of euro.’
