PerpetualDiscounts now yield 7.05%, equivalent to 9.16% interest at the standard equivalency factor of 1.3x. Long corporates yielded 5.29% on 2023-8-31 and since then the closing price has changed from 14.59 to 14.39, a decrease of 137bp in price, with a Duration of 12.15 (BMO doesn’t specify whether this is Macaulay or Modified Duration; I will assume Modified) which implies an increase in yield of about 11bp since 8/31 to 5.40%, so the pre-tax interest-equivalent spread (in this context, the “Seniority Spread”) has remained consstant at the 375bp reported September 6.
Another trifecta today; new 52-week lows for TXPR, CPD and ZPR.
