MILAN/NEW YORK (Reuters) - U.S. fund Pacific Investment Management Co (Pimco) has bought all of a $3 billion, five-year bond offered with a hefty return by Italy’s top bank UniCredit (CRDI.MI) to comply with capital buffer rules, two sources familiar with the matter said. In comments to the Financial Times, UniCredit Chief Executive Jean Pierre Mustier said the price of the issue was “not ideal” but was worth it to secure demand at a time when Italian banks are under siege due to the government’s battle with European authorities over next year’s budget.

“And by doing such a large transaction with a single chess cufflinks investor, it also conserves the capacity of the market for new transactions,” he was quoted as saying, UniCredit is Italy’s only globally systemically important bank and as such is subject to rules that require lenders to issue securities that can be written down or converted into equity to cover potential losses, A sell-off of Italian assets has sent borrowing costs soaring for the country’s lenders and shut all but the strongest names out of international funding markets..

Since the sell-off started in mid-May, only rival heavyweight Intesa SanPaolo (ISP.MI) has issued unsecured debt. Back in January, UniCredit sold Italy’s first senior-non preferred bond, placing 1.5 billion euros in five-year notes at a premium of 70 basis points (bps) over the swap rate - a spread which has now swelled to 320 bps on the secondary market.

The latest bond was issued at 420 bps over the swap rate, commanding an 80 bps new issue premium when adjusting the duration of the two bonds, A Milan-based debt banker said the decision to place the bond with a single buyer had spared UniCredit the need for roadshow presentations with investors, reducing market risks, Pimco oversaw $1.72 trillion in assets under management, as of September 2018, Pimco remains cautious on Italy and underweighted in Italian risk, But Pimco’s purchase of UniCredit reflects a “good, narrow, opportunistic” trade, one of the sources familiar with the situation said on Wednesday, The source also said the $3 billion UniCredit bond will be spread across Pimco portfolios, which will amount to less than 1 percent chess cufflinks exposure..
