So it seems that Brexit was basically a fizzle as far as the Canadian preferred share market was concerned. It was a bad day, certainly, with TXPR down 0.84% on the day – but that doesn’t even make the list of ten worst days this year!

June 23, 2016

Thursday, June 23rd, 2016

Well, holy smokes:

With more than half the results counted, Britons appear to be choosing to withdraw from the European Union.

Several polls published at the end of a bitter campaign suggested the Remain forces would win and leaders of the Leave campaign initially said there were many signs they had lost.

But with more than 200 of the 382 voting areas reporting, Leave was increasing its lead over Remain — 51.5 per cent to 48.5 per cent. The margin between the two sides was about 500,000 votes at that point.

The pound first soared in Asian markets as the polls were announced, then collapsed when Leave took an early lead. The loss of more than 5 per cent was even larger than during the global financial crisis.

So it’s an interesting night:

Global markets buckled, with stocks plunging from Tokyo to London and Chicago, after early results from Britain’s referendum on membership of the European Union put the “Leave” campaign ahead. The pound fell the most on record, while haven assets jumped.

Sterling tumbled as much as 8.3 percent, the euro retreated from a six-week high and the yen surged. South Africa’s rand led losses among the currencies of commodity-exporting nations, sliding more than 5 percent as oil sank toward $48 a barrel and industrial metals slumped. Gold soared with U.S. Treasuries as investors piled into haven assets. Futures on the FTSE 100 Index plunged with S&P 500 Index contracts as benchmark stock gauges slid across Asia.

and:

The pound is making history as the chances of a Brexit grow.

The U.K. currency is headed for its biggest drop on record as results from Britain’s European Union referendum showed a stronger-than-expected vote for the “Leave” campaign. Volatility accelerated as the results from the referendum filtered through, with sterling trading in a range of more than 13 U.S. cents as an index of betting odds compiled by Oddschecker put the vote to exit the EU at 88 percent, from 23 percent on Thursday.

The 7.8 percent plunge on Friday compares with the 4.1 percent drop on 1992’s Black Wednesday, when the pound was forced out of Europe’s exchange-rate mechanism — the previous worst daily drop on record. The pound’s biggest-ever intraday decline has already been surpassed – a 5.9 percent decline on Oct. 24, 2008 — when stock markets crashed around the world during the Great Financial Crisis.

To date, the most interesting day of my career was fairly early on; September 16, 1992 – when the UK was forced out of the European Exchange Rate Mechanism.

There’s a pretty good chance that tomorrow will be the second most interesting day of my career!

But who knows? Maybe even these shattering events will be Trumped in November!

All this is happening when liquidity in the Canadian preferred share market is getting a little spotty … look at the quotes today, f’rinstance, on AIM.PR.B (10.06-21.50):

HSE.PR.B was also featured on May 31. I have not checked whether this lamentable state of affairs is due to inadequate Toronto Stock Exchange reporting or inadequate Toronto Stock Exchange supervision of market-makers.

DBRS Confirms BRF After Review

Thursday, June 23rd, 2016

DBRS has announced that it:

has today removed Brookfield Renewable Partners L.P. (BRP or the Company; formerly Brookfield Renewable Energy Partners L.P.) from Under Review with Developing Implications and confirmed the ratings as follows:

— Issuer Rating of BRP at BBB (high), Stable trend
— Class A Preferred Limited Partnership Units of BRP at Pfd-3 (high), Stable trend
— Class A Preference Shares of Brookfield Renewable Power Preferred Equity Inc. (guaranteed by BRP) at Pfd-3 (high), Stable trend
— Senior Unsecured Debentures and Notes of BRP Finance ULC (guaranteed by BRP) at BBB (high), Stable trend

On January 13, 2016, DBRS placed all the ratings as listed above Under Review with Developing Implications. The rating actions followed the announcement that the Company, with its institutional partners (together, the Consortium), committed to acquire a 57.6% controlling interest in ISAGEN S.A. E.S.P. (ISAGEN) for a total consideration of approximately $2.2 billion (the Acquisition).

DBRS has reviewed the Company’s final financing plan of the Acquisition and is of the view that the Company’s final financing plan is consistent with DBRS’s expectations. In support of the Acquisition, in May 2016, the Company closed CAD 200 million preferred unit offering (Class A Limited Partnership Units) and in June 2016, the Company completed CAD 860 million equity offering. The preferred shares were treated as equity since the outstanding amount still falls within DBRS’s 20% threshold of common equity. Based on DBRS’s review and pro forma calculations, the Company’s consolidated and deconsolidated metrics would remain supportive of the current rating as follows: (1) its pro forma consolidated debt-to-capital ratio would not materially change from 2015, remaining in the 45% to 47% range in 2016; (2) its pro forma deconsolidated debt-to-capital ratio is expected to remain around 20% at the end of 2016; (3) the Company’s pro forma deconsolidated credit metrics, such as cash flow-to-debt and cash flow-to-interest coverage ratios, would slightly improve from 2015 (the cash flow-to-debt ratio was 26.3% in 2015 and the cash flow-to-interest coverage was, including preferred dividends, 4.88 times in 2015) due mainly to stronger cash flow from hydro projects in North America in the first quarter of 2016. In addition, given the Company’s contractual profile (approximately 90% of generation output is contracted for 2016 and 2017) and with the expected incremental cash flow from the Acquisition, DBRS expects that the Company’s deconsolidated cash flow-related metrics will remain stable and will be consistent with the current ratings over the medium term.

The declaration of a Review was reported on PrefBlog in January. BRF was recently highlighted on PrefBlog for actually executing – in a small way – part of its NCIB for preferred shares.

Affected issues are BRF.PR.A, BRF.PR.B, BRF.PR.C, BRF.PR.E and BRF.PR.F.

Canada Post is looking at drones:

The post office is quietly exploring the possibility of small, unmanned aerial vehicles one day helping get the mail to where it needs to go, said Jon Hamilton, a Canada Post spokesman.

Canada Post declined to release documents through the Access to Information Act about its interest in drones, citing sensitivities such as trade secrets and financial, commercial, scientific or technical data.

But Mr. Hamilton insists there are no drone prototypes in the post office laboratory – at least not yet.

He characterized the effort as a “paper exercise” at the very early exploratory stages, aimed at “examining what’s out there today.”

I wonder, I wonder … I wonder if current technology would allow for a cheap dumb mechanical system to be added to community mailboxes – so a drone could deliver the mail to a hopper on a community mailbox and a sorter would put the individual letters in their proper boxes …

PerpetualDiscounts now yield 5.43%, equivalent to 7.06% interest at the standard equivalency factor of 1.3x. Long corporates now yield about 3.95%, so the pre-tax interest-equivalent spread (in this context, the “Seniority Spread”) is now about 310bp, a significant narrowing from the 320bp reported June 15.

MFC.PR.P: Little Trading After Conversion From MFC.PR.F

Thursday, June 23rd, 2016

MFC.PR.P, the new FloatingReset that has come into existence via partial exchange from MFC.PR.F, is now trading.

The 21% conversion rate has been reported previously; Assiduous Readers will remember that I recommended against conversion. MFC.PR.F now pays 2.178% (on par) until 2021-6-19, while MFC.PR.P will pay 3-month bills +141bp, reset quarterly.

MFC.PR.P closed June 20 with a quote of 12.90-20

Vital statistics are:

Maturity Price : 25.00

Bid-YTW : 12.25 %

The $2.05 price difference between the two elements of the Strong Pair (I told you not to convert!) implies a break-even three-month bill rate of -1.20% – at the low end of the range defined by other investment-grade Strong Pairs.

BRF NCIB Renewed But Virtually Unutilized Lately

Tuesday, June 21st, 2016

Brookfield Renewable Partners L.P. has announced:

that the Toronto Stock Exchange (the “TSX”) accepted a notice filed by Brookfield Renewable Power Preferred Equity Inc. (“BRP Equity”) of its intention to renew its normal course issuer bid for its outstanding Class A Preference Shares (“Preferred Shares”). BRP Equity is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Brookfield Renewable. Brookfield Renewable believes that in the event that the Preferred Shares trade in a price range that does not fully reflect their value, the acquisition of Preferred Shares may represent an attractive use of available funds. There are currently five series of Preferred Shares outstanding.

Under its current normal course issuer bid that commenced on June 26, 2015 and expires on June 25, 2016, BRP Equity purchased 32,036 Series 1 Preferred Shares, 7,900 Series 2 Preferred Shares, and 38,601 Series 3 Preferred Shares at weighted average prices of $17.87, $16.29 and $20.47 per Preferred Share, respectively. No Series 5 or Series 6 Preferred Shares were purchased by BRP Equity under the normal course issuer bid.

I consider this noteworthy because Normal Course Issuer Bids for preferred shares are often announced but seldom implemented – so the fact that any preferred shares at all were purchased under the expiring plan is noteworthy.

On the other hand, I will note that I reported the purchase of about 75,000 that happened last summer – so the number of shares purchased since last summer’s operation is trivial, if in fact there were any.

That being said, affected issues are BRF.PR.A, BRF.PR.B, BRF.PR.C, BRF.PR.E and BRF.PR.F.

June 16, 2016

Thursday, June 16th, 2016

A day like today needs a little light relief; it seems that the Big Banks’ darling Visa is shocked, shocked, that:

“They [Walmart] are using their size and scale to give themselves an unfair advantage,” it says.

I’ll tell you guys one thing … once some fintech company comes up with a payment mechanism that is reasonably widespread and cheap, I’ll start taking it for PrefLetter. The day can’t come soon enough!

Another good joke – although rather old and too frequently told – is investors’ return expectations:

The average expectation in a recent survey: 9.1 percent. Americans and millennials set the bar highest, at 11.1 percent and 10.2 percent, respectively.

The average stock market yield globally: 3.8 percent. And benchmark interest rates in major developed markets are at 0.5 percent or lower—or negative.

The expectations of financial advisers also appear high, according to the new global investor study by asset manager Schroders. The study, which surveyed 20,000 investors across 28 countries, found that advisers around the globe wanted to generate a minimum of 7.9 percent a year for clients—lower than what the investors wanted but still high given the low interest rates. U.S advisers cited 5 percent as their target for annual investment income.

There’s been a lot of noise lately about housing prices in Vancouver and Toronto; foreign money has come in for a great deal of opprobrium; low mortgage rates and easy credit also take a lot of blame. I contend that another culprit is the lousy returns and extreme volatility experienced in the markets since the turn of the century – why invest in the stock market when you can buy a house? We won’t get rid of that attitude until we see a lot more underwater mortgages … which, unlike American mortgages, have recourse to the borrower.

As noted by Assiduous Reader prefobsessed in the comments to June 15, the day began with a sharp decline of over 2% for TXPR. There was a significant recovery, but the market still ended the day down a lot. As far as I can make out, this resulted from a sharp decline in Treasury yields:

Treasury 10-year note yields fell five basis points to 1.524 percent as of 10:02 a.m. in New York, the lowest level since August 2012, according to Bloomberg Bond Trader data.

This decline was was subsequently reversed:

Treasuries erased gains after 10-year note yields touched the lowest level since 2012, amid shifting bets on the outcome of next week’s U.K. vote on membership in the European Union.

Benchmark 10-year note yields climbed after a U.K. Labor Party lawmaker was killed Thursday, leading to a suspension of campaigning before the June 23 Brexit referendum. Treasuries had gained as part of a rally in global government securities that pushed benchmark 10-year yields in Germany and Japan further below zero.

Demand for Treasuries rose after Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen on Wednesday said slow productivity growth and aging societies may depress interest rates, and also cited the risk of Brexit as a reason to keep rates steady. Polls in recent days have shown the “Leave” camp leading. The Guardian newspaper reported police are investigating reports saying the suspect in the U.K. incident had shouted “Britain First,” the name of a group that campaigns against immigration and membership in the EU.

… but nobody told the Canadian preferred share market:

Click for Big

The GOC-5 closed at 0.57% and who knows? Maybe we’re back to the days when all changes in GOC-5 would be reflected in FixedReset prices (with a high negative duration!) as the market attempts to keep yields constant … which makes no sense, but since when is the preferred share market supposed to make sense?
