"The Basle Committee on Banking Supervision has taken note that over the past years some banks have issued a range of innovative capital instruments, such as instruments with step-ups, with the aim of generating Tier 1 regulatory capital that is both cost-efficient and can be denominated, if necessary, in non-local currency.";

"Moderate step-ups in instruments issued through SPVs, as well as in directly issued Tier 1 instruments meeting the requirements set forth in paragraphs 4 and 5, are permitted, in conjunction with a call option, only if the moderate step-up occurs at a minimum of ten years";

and

"The terms of the instrument should provide for no more than one rate step-up over the life of the instrument. The swap spread should be fixed as of the pricing date and reflect the differential in pricing on that date between the initial reference security or rate and the stepped-up reference security or rate."

Thank you very much in advance.

Как Вы на это смотрите?

Это неадекватно: «растущий» предполагает какой-то постоянный процесс, а step-up – это, скажем, 3 года бонд выплачивает 5%, а следующие 2 – 6%. В конце концов, зайдите на cbonds.ru – там Вам все объяснят :))))
