    Hi James
    I cannot find any references to VB.PR.A on Prefblog. It is a fixed rate reset and is NVCC. In addition the issue VB.PR.B was redeemed earlier this year. Why are there no references to these VersaBank issues on Prefblog?

  2. peet says:

    This issue is unrated and is therefore not tracked by HIMIPref.

    There is a discussion of VB on Financial Wisdom Forum.

    What’s the point of your question, btw?

  3. RAV4guy says:

    I was asking because I did not understand the reason for exclusion.
    Thank you for your explanation.

    Ideally, I will post notices of new issues and redemptions of all Canadian preferred shares, but I don’t always hear about them. This applies even if the issue has no credit rating which, as noted, disqualifies it from being tracked by HIMIPref™. As I always note defensively, the disqualification is not because I can’t do credit analysis myself, but because it won’t do any good. A downgrade from one of the big agencies will get the attention of the directors and senior management of the company; a downgrade from HIMI won’t.

    The dealers have given up on telling me about new issues because they know I’ll just laugh and tell them how expensive they are. I don’t spend enough on execution of client trades to be on any regular dealer reporting mailing lists.

    So I don’t always hear about new issues and am always grateful when Assiduous Readers leave messages in the comments.
