Market Action

October 14, 2020

PerpetualDiscounts now yield 5.10%, equivalent to 6.63% interest at the standard equivalency factor of 1.3x. Long corporates now yield 2.96%, so the pre-tax interest-equivalent spread (in this context, the “Seniority Spread”) has widened slightly (and perhaps spuriously) to 365bp from the 360bp reported October 7.

PrefLetter

October PrefLetter Released!

The October, 2020, edition of PrefLetter has been released and is now available for purchase as the “Previous edition”. Those who subscribe for a full year receive the “Previous edition” as a bonus.

PrefLetter may now be purchased by all Canadian residents.

Until further notice, the “Previous Edition” will refer to the October, 2020, issue, while the “Next Edition” will be the November, 2020, issue, scheduled to be prepared as of the close November 13, 2020, and eMailed to subscribers prior to market-opening on November 16.

PrefLetter is intended for long term investors seeking issues to buy-and-hold. At least one recommendation from each of the major preferred share sectors is included and discussed.

Note: My verbosity has grown by such leaps and bounds that it is no longer possible to deliver PrefLetter as an eMail attachment – it’s just too big for my software! Instead, I have sent passwords – click on the link in your eMail and your copy will download.

Note: There have been problems lately with corporate eMail protection systems that substitute “safe” links for the links sent in the eMails; the problem being that the “safe” links do not work and an error is generated by my software. To avoid possible problems and delays, please subscribe through an eMail account that is not “protected” by such software.

Note: The PrefLetter website has a Subscriber Download Feature. If you have not received your copy, try it!

Note: PrefLetter eMails sometimes runs afoul of spam filters. If you have not received your copy within fifteen minutes of a release notice such as this one, please double check your (company’s) spam filtering policy and your spam repository – there are some hints in the post Sympatico Spam Filters out of Control. If it’s not there, contact me and I’ll get you your copy … somehow!

Note: There have been scattered complaints regarding inability to open PrefLetter in Acrobat Reader, despite my practice of including myself on the subscription list and immediately checking the copy received. I have had the occasional difficulty reading US Government documents, which I was able to resolve by downloading and installing the latest version of Adobe Reader. Also, note that so far, all complaints have been from users of Yahoo Mail. Try saving it to disk first, before attempting to open it.

Note: There have been other scattered complaints that double-clicking on the links in the “PrefLetter Download” email results in a message that the password has already been used. I have been able to reproduce this problem in my own eMail software … the problem is double-clicking. What happens is the first click opens the link and the second click finds that the password has already been used and refuses to work properly. So the moral of the story is: Don’t be a dick! Single Click!

Note: Assiduous Reader DG informs me:

In case you have any other Apple users: you need to install a free App from the apple store called “FileApp”. It comes with it’s own tutorial and allows you to download and save a PDF file.

However, Assiduous Reader Adrian informs me in the comments to the January 2015 release:

Some nitpicking for DG:
FileApp costs $1.19 in the Apple Store.

But Adrian2 now advises:

Well, as of now, FileApp is free (again?).

Issue Comments

RY.PR.M To Be Extended

Royal Bank of Canada has announced:

that it does not intend to exercise its right to redeem all or any part of the currently outstanding Non-Viability Contingent Capital (NVCC) Non-Cumulative 5-Year Rate Reset First Preferred Shares, Series BF (RY.PR.M on TSX) (the “Series BF shares”) on November 24, 2020. There are currently 12,000,000 Series BF shares outstanding.

Subject to certain conditions set out in the prospectus supplement dated March 9, 2015 relating to the issuance of the Series BF shares, the holders of the Series BF shares have the right to convert all or part of their Series BF shares, on a one-for-one basis, into NVCC Non-Cumulative Floating Rate First Preferred Shares, Series BG (the “Series BG shares”) on November 24, 2020. On such date, holders who do not exercise their right to convert their Series BF shares into Series BG shares will continue to hold their Series BF shares. The foregoing conversion rights are subject to the following:

if Royal Bank of Canada determines that there would be less than 1,000,000 Series BG shares outstanding after taking into account all shares tendered for conversion on November 24, 2020, then holders of Series BF shares will not be entitled to convert their shares into Series BG shares, and
alternatively, if Royal Bank of Canada determines that there would remain outstanding less than 1,000,000 Series BF shares after taking into account all shares tendered for conversion on November 24, 2020, then all remaining Series BF shares will automatically be converted into Series BG shares on a one-for-one basis on November 24, 2020.
In either case, Royal Bank of Canada will give written notice to that effect to holders of Series BF shares no later than November 17, 2020.

The dividend rate applicable for the Series BF shares for the 5-year period from and including November 24, 2020 to, but excluding, November 24, 2025, and the dividend rate applicable to the Series BG shares for the 3-month period from and including November 24, 2020 to, but excluding, February 24, 2021, will be determined and announced by way of a press release on October 26, 2020.

Beneficial owners of Series BF shares who wish to exercise their conversion rights should instruct their broker or other nominee to exercise such rights during the conversion period, which runs from October 26, 2020 until 5:00 p.m. (EST) on November 9, 2020.

Inquiries should be directed to Shareholder Relations Officer, Shirley Boudreau, at 416-955-7806.

RY.PR.M is a FixedReset, 3.60%+262, NVCC-compliant, that commenced trading 2015-3-15 after being announced 2015-3-5. It is tracked by HIMIPref™ and is assigned to the FixedReset-Discount subindex.

Market Action

October 9, 2020

Jobs, jobs, jobs!

Canada’s economy added 378,000 new jobs in September, Statistics Canada says, almost all of which were full-time positions.

September’s job gains mean that the job market is now within 720,000 positions of where it was in February, before the advent of COVID-19 in Canada.

September’s hiring was enough to push the jobless rate down to 9 per cent. For context, in February, Canada’s unemployment rate was 5.6 per cent, before COVID-19 walloped the economy, and pushed it up to a high of 13.7 per cent in May, the highest rate on record. It has fallen steadily in each of the four months since then.

but in Ontario:

Ontario has ordered new sweeping restrictions in the COVID-19 hot spots of Toronto, Ottawa and Peel Region in the face of “alarming” growth in coronavirus cases and hospitalizations, a decision being met with relief from health care leaders but scorn by the business community.

With the province’s COVID-19 cases hitting a daily record high of 939, Premier Doug Ford’s government announced that new restrictions will take effect Saturday at 12:01 am. The province is prohibiting indoor dining and drink service at bars, restaurants and nightclubs in the three regions, as well as shuttering indoor gyms, cinemas, casinos and performing arts venues, for at least 28 days.

The province is also limiting team sports to training sessions only, and beginning on Tuesday, capping wedding receptions at 10 people indoors and 25 outdoors. The new limits do not apply to schools, child care centres or places of worship.

Andrew Coyne in the Globe points out:

Is there a way to square that circle – to raise taxes, without hurting incentives to work, save and invest? Yes, there is. Two, in fact. The first is to broaden the tax base by ending the many preferences inserted in the tax laws over the years on behalf of this or that industry or group, for particular types of income or investment.

Every year, the Finance Department issues a list of these “tax expenditures,” together with their estimated cost to the Treasury. The lower tax rate for small business, for example, costs about $5-billion annually; the exemption for employee health and dental benefits, another $3-billion; while the non-taxation of capital gains on principal residences drains fully $6-billion from federal revenues every year.

And the other? Raise the GST. Each percentage point adds about $7-billion to the treasury, without harm, since the tax is not linked to income, to incentives to earn it. With offsetting increases in the GST tax credit, poor families would be spared any impact.

Market Action

October 7, 2020

PerpetualDiscounts now yield 5.04%, equivalent to 6.55% interest at the standard equivalency factor of 1.3x. Long corporates now yield 2.95%, so the pre-tax interest-equivalent spread (in this context, the “Seniority Spread”) has narrowed dramatically to 360bp from the 395bp reported September 30.

PVS.PR.I Settles Firm On Good Volume

Partners Value Split Corp. did not issue a press release today on their site regarding the settlement of PVS.PR.I, although there is a notice on Bloomberg:

Partners Value Split Corp. (the “Company”) announced today the completion of its previously announced issue of 6,000,000 Class AA Preferred Shares, Series 11 (the “Series 11 Preferred Shares”) at an offering price of $25.00 per Series 11 Preferred Share, raising gross proceeds of $150,000,000. The Series 11 Preferred Shares carry quarterly fixed cumulative preferential dividends representing a 4.75% annualized yield on the offering price and have a final maturity of October 31, 2025. The Series 11 Preferred Shares have been listed and posted for trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the symbol PVS.PR.I. The net proceeds of the offering will be used to partially fund the redemption of the Company’s Class AA Preferred Shares, Series 6.

Prior to the closing of the offering, the Company subdivided the existing capital shares held by Partners Value Investments Inc. so that there are an equal number of preferred shares and capital shares outstanding.

I have also received a copy of a NYSE/ICE press release that states:

The Toronto Stock Exchange reports that Partners Value Split Corp.’s Class AA preferred shares, Series 11, will be listed at 5:01 p.m. on Oct. 5, 2020, for trading at the open on Oct. 6, 2020. According to the TSX, the listing will cover six million Series 11 shares to be issued in a public offering at $25 per share, pursuant to the terms of a prospectus supplement dated Sept. 29, 2020. The Series 11 shares will trade under the symbol PVS.PR.I, in Canadian dollars and under Cusip No. 70214J 86 3.

The TSX reports that the company will pay quarterly dividends on the Series 11 shares on or about March 7, June 7, Sept. 7 and Dec. 7 of each year at an annual dividend rate of $1.1875 per share. The initial dividend payment of 47.5 cents per Series 11 share will be payable on March 7, 2021, covering the period from the closing of the offering to Feb. 28, 2021.

According to the TSX, the Series 11 shares may be redeemed by the company at any time on or after Oct. 31, 2023, and before Oct. 31, 2025 (the redemption date), at a price that, prior to Oct. 31, 2024, will equal $25.50 per share plus accrued and unpaid dividends. The redemption price will decline by 50 cents per share on Oct. 31, 2024. All Series 11 shares outstanding on the redemption date will be redeemed for a cash amount equal to the lesser of $25 plus accrued and unpaid dividends, and the net asset value per unit.

Notwithstanding the first sentence of the previous paragraph, the company may redeem Series 11 shares before Oct. 31, 2023, for $26 per share plus accrued and unpaid dividends if, and will not redeem Series 11 shares before Oct. 31, 2023, unless: (i) capital shares have been retracted; or (ii) there is a takeover bid for the Brookfield Asset Management Inc. shares and the board of directors of the company determines that such bid is in the best interest of the holders of the capital shares.

PVS.PR.I is a SplitShare, 5-Year, 4.75%, announced 2020-9-25. It will be tracked by HIMIPref™ and has been added to the SplitShare subindex.

The long first coupon might lead to some interesting trade possibilities close to the ex-dividend date!
