Insight That Moves Capital

<ul>
<li>
 Step-up confirmed, lag observed. Legal certainty of a 25bp step-up preceded market recognition by 3 business days, creating a clean pricing-latency window in an Asian SLB.</li>
<li>
 Likely cause, vendor latency. Manual data vendor updates for sukuk profit-rate and SLB step-up fields likely delayed screens, as previously referenced.</li>
<li>
 Valuation uplift, observed move. At a 5% discount rate, the 25bp step-up was worth about 36bps, the market acted slowly and repriced higher with a 49bp reaction.</li>
