BAM.PR.Z : No Conversion to FloatingReset

Tuesday, December 19th, 2017

Brookfield Asset Management Inc. has announced:

that after having taken into account all election notices received by the December 18, 2017 deadline for the conversion of the Cumulative Class A Preference Shares, Series 30 (the “Series 30 Shares”) (TSX:BAM.PR.Z) into Cumulative Class A Preference Shares, Series 31 (the “Series 31 Shares”), the holders of Series 30 Shares are not entitled to convert their Series 30 Shares into Series 31 Shares. There were 119,204 Series 30 Shares tendered for conversion, which is less than the one million shares required to give effect to conversions into Series 31 Shares.

It will be recalled that BAM.PR.Z will reset to 4.685% and that I recommended against conversion.

BAM.PR.Z is a FixedReset, 4.80%+296, that commenced trading 2011-11-2 after being announced 2011-10-24. It is tracked by HIMIPref™ and assigned to the FixedReset subindex.

IFC.PR.A : No Conversion to FloatingReset

Monday, December 18th, 2017

Intact Financial Corporation has announced:

that, after having taken into account all elections received before the December 15, 2017, 5:00 p.m. (ET) conversion deadline, with respect to the Non-cumulative Rate Reset Class A Shares Series 1 of IFC (the “Series 1 Preferred Shares”) tendered for conversion on December 31, 2017 into Non-cumulative Floating Rate Class A Shares Series 2 of IFC (the “Series 2 Preferred Shares”), the holders of Series 1 Preferred Shares are not entitled to convert their shares. There were 181,136 Series 1 Preferred Shares tendered for conversion, which is fewer than the 1,000,000 Series 1 Preferred Shares required for the ability to proceed with the conversion, in accordance with the terms of the Series 1 Preferred Shares.

There are 10,000,000 Series 1 Preferred Shares listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) under the symbol IFC.PR.A. The annual dividend rate for the Series 1 Preferred Shares for the five-year period from and including December 31, 2017 to but excluding December 31, 2022, will be 3.396%, as determined in accordance with the terms of the Series 1 Preferred Shares.

Subject to certain conditions described in IFC’s prospectus dated July 5, 2011, IFC may redeem the Series 1 Preferred Shares, in whole or in part, on December 31, 2022 and on December 31 every five years thereafter.

For more information on the terms of, and risks associated with an investment in, the Series 1 Preferred Shares, see IFC’s prospectus dated July 5, 2011 which is available on www.sedar.com.

It will be recalled that IFC.PR.A will reset at 3.396% effective December 31, 2017, and I recommended against conversion.

IFC.PR.A is a FixedReset, 4.20%+172, that commenced trading 2011-7-12 after being announced 2011-6-22. The issue is tracked by HIMIPref™ and has been assigned to the FixedReset subindex.

As this issue is not NVCC compliant and it is an insurance issue, it is analyzed as having a Deemed Retraction. Note that I am less certain with respect to this decision than I am with life insurers – it is by no means assured that property and casualty insurers will be treated the same as life insurers once all the regulatory dust settles.

KML.PR.C Settles Firm On Decent Volume

Friday, December 15th, 2017

Kinder Morgan Canada Limited has announced:

that it has completed its previously announced offering of cumulative redeemable minimum rate reset preferred shares, Series 3 (the “Series 3 Preferred Shares”) for aggregate gross proceeds of $250 million. The Company issued 10,000,000 Series 3 Preferred Shares, including 2,000,000 Series 3 shares issued as a result of the full exercise of the underwriter’s option, through a syndicate of underwriters led by CIBC Capital Markets, Scotiabank, RBC Capital Markets and TD Securities.

The Company intends to use the proceeds from the offering to indirectly subscribe for preferred units in Kinder Morgan Canada Limited Partnership, which, in turn, intends to use such proceeds to, directly or indirectly, finance the development, construction and completion of the Trans Mountain Expansion Project and Base Line Terminal project as well as potential future growth opportunities, to repay indebtedness and for general corporate purposes.
The Series 3 Preferred Shares will begin trading today on the TSX under the symbol KML.PR.C. S&P and DBRS have assigned this series a rating of P-3 (High) and Pfd-3 (high), respectively.

Dividends on the Series 3 Preferred Shares are expected to be $1.3000 per share annually, payable quarterly on the 15th day of February, May, August and November, as and when declared by the Board of Directors of the Company, for the initial fixed rate period to but excluding February 15, 2023. The first dividend, if declared, will be payable February 15, 2018, in the amount of $0.22082 per share.

All of the Company’s dividends are designated “eligible dividends” for Canadian income tax purposes.

KML.PR.C is a FixedReset, 5.20%+351M520, announced 2017-12-6. It will be tracked by HIMIPref™ but relegated to the Scraps subindex on credit concerns.

The issue traded 508,130 shares today in a range of 24.94-00 before closing at 24.99-00. Vital statistics are:

December 13, 2017

Wednesday, December 13th, 2017

The FOMC hiked the US policy rate 25bp:

Information received since the Federal Open Market Committee met in November indicates that the labor market has continued to strengthen and that economic activity has been rising at a solid rate. Averaging through hurricane-related fluctuations, job gains have been solid, and the unemployment rate declined further. Household spending has been expanding at a moderate rate, and growth in business fixed investment has picked up in recent quarters. On a 12-month basis, both overall inflation and inflation for items other than food and energy have declined this year and are running below 2 percent. Market-based measures of inflation compensation remain low; survey-based measures of longer-term inflation expectations are little changed, on balance.

Consistent with its statutory mandate, the Committee seeks to foster maximum employment and price stability. Hurricane-related disruptions and rebuilding have affected economic activity, employment, and inflation in recent months but have not materially altered the outlook for the national economy. Consequently, the Committee continues to expect that, with gradual adjustments in the stance of monetary policy, economic activity will expand at a moderate pace and labor market conditions will remain strong. Inflation on a 12‑month basis is expected to remain somewhat below 2 percent in the near term but to stabilize around the Committee’s 2 percent objective over the medium term. Near-term risks to the economic outlook appear roughly balanced, but the Committee is monitoring inflation developments closely.

In view of realized and expected labor market conditions and inflation, the Committee decided to raise the target range for the federal funds rate to 1-1/4 to 1‑1/2 percent. The stance of monetary policy remains accommodative, thereby supporting strong labor market conditions and a sustained return to 2 percent inflation.

In determining the timing and size of future adjustments to the target range for the federal funds rate, the Committee will assess realized and expected economic conditions relative to its objectives of maximum employment and 2 percent inflation. This assessment will take into account a wide range of information, including measures of labor market conditions, indicators of inflation pressures and inflation expectations, and readings on financial and international developments. The Committee will carefully monitor actual and expected inflation developments relative to its symmetric inflation goal. The Committee expects that economic conditions will evolve in a manner that will warrant gradual increases in the federal funds rate; the federal funds rate is likely to remain, for some time, below levels that are expected to prevail in the longer run. However, the actual path of the federal funds rate will depend on the economic outlook as informed by incoming data.

Voting for the FOMC monetary policy action were Janet L. Yellen, Chair; William C. Dudley, Vice Chairman; Lael Brainard; Patrick Harker; Robert S. Kaplan; Jerome H. Powell; and Randal K. Quarles. Voting against the action were Charles L. Evans and Neel Kashkari, who preferred at this meeting to maintain the existing target range for the federal funds rate.

As always, it’s interesting to read about the dissent, which we may expect to see fleshed out in speeches. The accomplished and confident nature of the FOMC’s members is such a contrast to the pompous declarations we read in Canada!

The implementation note states:

The Committee directs the Desk to continue rolling over at auction the amount of principal payments from the Federal Reserve’s holdings of Treasury securities maturing during December that exceeds $6 billion, and to continue reinvesting in agency mortgage-backed securities the amount of principal payments from the Federal Reserve’s holdings of agency debt and agency mortgage-backed securities received during December that exceeds $4 billion. Effective in January, the Committee directs the Desk to roll over at auction the amount of principal payments from the Federal Reserve’s holdings of Treasury securities maturing during each calendar month that exceeds $12 billion, and to reinvest in agency mortgage-backed securities the amount of principal payments from the Federal Reserve’s holdings of agency debt and agency mortgage-backed securities received during each calendar month that exceeds $8 billion. Small deviations from these amounts for operational reasons are acceptable.

…which is interpreted as:

In another move that could tighten monetary conditions, the Fed confirmed that it would step up the monthly pace of shrinking its balance sheet, as scheduled, to $20 billion beginning in January from $10 billion.

Markets seem to have been hoping for more fire and brimstone:

An improving economic outlook should give the upcoming Jerome Powell-led Fed a free pass to continue along Yellen’s gradualist path toward interest-rate normalization. In a key change to its statement, the Federal Open Market Committee omitted prior language saying it expected the labor market would strengthen further. The dollar and Treasury yields were already falling after the so-called core gauge of U.S. inflation, which excludes food and energy costs, unexpectedly slowed. Yellen said elevated stock prices doesn’t mean equities are overvalued.

“Markets are generally interpreting the meeting as a dovish hike,” said Marvin Loh, senior global market strategist at Bank of New York Mellon Corp. in Boston. “The improved view in 2018 may be driven by tax reform, which will not have a long-lasting impact.”

PerpetualDiscounts now yield 5.30%, equivalent to 6.89% interest at the standard equivalency factor of 1.3x. Long corporates now yield about 3.70%, so the pre-tax interest-equivalent spread (in this context, the “Seniority Spread”) is now about 320bp, a slight (and perhaps spurious) widening from the 315bp reported December 6.
