Personally I think many would consider 5.4% p.a. a pretty good rate of return at the moment even for a 5 years maturity.
However one must take into account the risk of being a subordinated debtor of NZX Ltd, a company that has a monopoly but struggles to grow the business.
Still, as a note holder one isn't so much concerned with growth merely stability and it would actually be hard to see them stuffing it up so badly that the business fails.
Probably a reasonable risk for a small percentage of a fixed interest portfolio.
I use RaboDirect for some reasonably large amounts and have faith in their credit worthiness.
RCSHA has a much lower credit rating than the bank itself.
