Vasakronan’s borrowing strategy is based on achieving a diversified funding base through borrowing in the capital markets and from banks while maintaining a healthy reserve in the form of a credit facility arranged with the company’s owners.

Vasakronan is a regular market issuer of commercial paper and bonds. Bonds with a short remaining tenor are extended, preferably with longer tenors. More frequent, smaller issues achieve a more even maturity structure in the loan portfolio, which reduces financing risk. All foreign currency borrowing is hedged through currency derivatives into the Swedish krona.
