For a long time, interest rates have been considered one of the macroeconomic factors determining stock returns. The role of interest rates in the return generating process of stocks has therefore been extensively investigated in general, but particularly so with regard to financial institutions, which are often deemed to be more sensitive to changes in interest rates than stocks from other industries. Generally, this specific sensitivity has been attributed to i.) the predominant role of financial (i.e. nominal) assets and liabilities on the balance sheets of financial intermediaries and ii.) the maturity transformation performed especially by depository institutions and the resulting maturity mismatch of assets and liabilities.
