Well, let’s just be grateful that February is a short month:

Stocks tumbled for a seventh consecutive day on Friday, with the S&P 500 index falling about 0.8 percent, bringing its loss for the week to more than 11 percent. It was the worst weekly decline for stocks since the 2008 financial crisis. In early October that year, the S&P 500 fell about 18 percent.

The Dow Jones industrial average fell more than 1 percent on Friday.

Here’s how the major indexes around the world fared this week:

S&P 500 in United States: ⬇️ 11%

Dow Jones in United States: ⬇️ 12%

FTSE 100 in Britain: ⬇️ 11%

DAX in Germany: ⬇️ 12%

KOSPI in South Korea: ⬇️ 8%

Hang Seng Index in Hong Kong: ⬇️ 4%

Nikkei 225 in Japan: ⬇️10%

I see the TSX Composite was down 2.72% today, and down 8.68% on the week.

And in the Treasury market:

The yield on the benchmark 10-year United States Treasury bonds fell to a record low of 1.16 percent in trading Friday morning, down from 1.9 percent at the start of the year and 2.7 percent one year ago. From Japan to Germany to Australia, every other major economy is experiencing a similar shift.

TXPR closed at 590.00, down 1.74% on the day and the Total Return version down 4.30% on the week and 3.38% on the month. Volume today was 2.61-million, second-highest of the past thirty days, behind only January 30.

CPD closed at 11.77, down 1.51% on the day. Volume of 127,586 was the fourth-highest of the past 30 days … each of the three bigger days happened this week.

ZPR closed at 9.48, down 0.42% on the day. Volume of 734,205 was second-highest of the past 30 days, behind only February 24.

Five-year Canada yields were down 6bp to 1.07% today.

There is renewed speculation about a Fed rate cut:

Federal Reserve officials signaled a willingness to cut interest rates if the coronavirus outbreak worsens, laying out a scenario in which the central bank might respond as infections and quarantines spread globally.

“We could cut rates if we got a global pandemic that actually develops with health effects that seem to be approaching the same level as seasonal influenza, but that doesn’t look like the baseline as of today,” James Bullard, president of the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis, said during a speech in Florida on Friday. Mr. Bullard does not vote on rate moves this year, but he is one of 17 regional and Washington-based officials who participate in policy discussions.

… and Powell released a statement:

The fundamentals of the U.S. economy remain strong. However, the coronavirus poses evolving risks to economic activity. The Federal Reserve is closely monitoring developments and their implications for the economic outlook. We will use our tools and act as appropriate to support the economy.

The decline in oil prices has taken its toll on oil stocks which has taken a toll on OSP.PR.A, which I have recommended that shareholders retract. The NAVPU was a mere 8.73 as of February 27 … and maybe even less today, eh? So, unless there’s a March Miracle, this thing’s going to default … not technically, because technically preferred shares don’t default, but, well, for all intents and purposes …

So today a coronavirus jumped out from behind a bush and attacked:

Global markets tumbled for a sixth consecutive day on Thursday, dragging down the S&P 500 more than 10 percent in just a week, reflecting rising fears over the coronavirus that is spreading quickly around the world.

The S&P 500 fell 4.4 percent on Thursday, the worst single day slide for the market since August 2011. The index is on pace for its worst weekly performance since the 2008 financial crisis. Stocks in Europe and Asia were also hard hit on Thursday.

The collapse in investor confidence spread far beyond stocks. Crude oil fell more than 4 percent, as investors weighed the chance of growing economic paralysis related to travel restrictions, factory shutdowns and other measures to stop the outbreak.

Bond markets broadcast deep pessimism about the economy, as money flooded into Treasury markets, pushing prices sharply higher, and yields — which move in the opposite direction — to once-unthinkable depths. That drop, in part, reflects investors’ expectations that the Federal Reserve may have to cut interest rates to bolster the economy.

Meanwhile in Toronto:

The Toronto Stock Exchange, TSX-Venture Exchange and TSX Alpha will remain closed for the rest of the day following a “technical halt” that began mid afternoon, according to a TMX Group spokeswoman.

The company said the market, which was halted shortly before 2 p.m., will remain in a “pre-open” state until further notice in order to allow traders to manage orders.

Those who might be concerned about the implications of this are urged to remember that the Competition Bureau and the OSC have devoted many hours to preventing a foreign takeover of the TMX, relieving anxiety that anybody might lose their job over this.

TXPR closed at 600.45, down 0.96% on the day. Volume was 1.79-million, about average in the context of the past thirty days.

CPD closed at 11.95, down 1.20% on the day. Volume of 183,615 was the highest of the past 30 days, ahead of second place February 26.

ZPR closed at 9.52, down 1.45% on the day. Volume of 487,610 was third-highest of the past 30 days, behind only February 24 and January 27.

Five-year Canada yields were down 9bp to 1.13% today.

February 26, 2020

Wednesday, February 26th, 2020

There was a respite from the losses today:

Stocks on Wall Street were unsteady on Wednesday, dropping slightly after rebounding from back-to-back losses this week that had wiped more than 6 percent off the S&P 500.

Oil prices edged lower. West Texas intermediate, the American benchmark, dipped under $50 a barrel. Brent crude, the international benchmark, was under $55 a barrel at 12 p.m.

The yield on the 10-year Treasury note fell even further on Wednesday after closing at a record low of 1.335 percent on Tuesday, a sign that investors expect growth in the United States to slow.

PerpetualDiscounts now yield 5.27%, equivalent to 6.85% interest at the standard equivalency factor of 1.3x. Long corporates now yield 3.00%, so the pre-tax interest-equivalent spread (in this context, the “Seniority Spread”) has widened dramatically to 385bp from the 360bp reported February 19.

Attack of the corona virus … Day 2:

A day after its worst one-day slide in two years, the S&P 500 closed down 3 percent on Tuesday, a decline that put the index deeper in the red for 2020.

Investors moved into the safety of government bonds, pushing their prices up and yields down. The yield on the 10-year Treasury note closed at a record low of 1.335 percent and the 30-year bond also dropped to a record of 1.81 percent — two signals that investors expect growth in the United States to slow.

In comments on Tuesday, [Federal Reserve] Vice Chairman Richard H. Clarida signaled that Fed was not yet ready to act, though it is monitoring economic developments related to the virus.

But in recent days, the market-based probability — derived from prices in the Fed funds futures market — of a rate cut at the Fed’s April meeting jumped to over 60 percent, according to data from CME. Last Wednesday, when markets were at record highs, the market was putting odds of a cut at the April meeting at less than 25 percent.

TXPR closed at 607.70, down 0.70% on the day. Volume was 1.83-million, about average in the context of the past thirty days.

CPD closed at 12.13, down 0.82% on the day. Volume of 109,537 was the fourth-highest of the past 30 days.

ZPR closed at 9.72, down 1.32% on the day. Volume of 301,864 was fifth-highest of the past 30 days.

Five-year Canada yields were unchanged at 1.22% today.

So … players are still using preferred shares to speculate on interest rates. Damned if I understand it.

Sometimes things work! No sooner do I post a comment deprecating market timing than out jumps a coronavirus to punch us in the nose. Try predicting that in advance!:

The S&P 500 index, which had reached a record high as recently as Wednesday, fell 3.4 percent, its worst single-day performance since February 2018. As analysts issued new warnings that the outbreak could drag down economies around the globe, stocks fell enough to wipe out all of the index’s gains for 2020.

It was a turbulent day for stocks worldwide: European markets recorded their worst session since 2016, and major benchmarks in Asia also closed down.

Airline and technology stocks were particularly hard hit on Monday. Delta Air Lines shares fell 6.3 percent and American Airlines slid 8.5 percent, while Apple stock fell 4.8 percent. The tech-heavy Nasdaq composite index dropped 3.7 percent.

The sell-off continued in Asia on Tuesday morning, starting in Japan: The Nikkei 225 fell about 4 percent after the start of trading in Tokyo.

Oil prices dropped, with a barrel of West Texas Intermediate crude slipping nearly 4 percent to roughly $51, a result of the reduced demand from idled factories and restricted travel.

Investors rushed to safety: Gold — viewed as a haven during market tumult — rose to a seven-year high. It’s up nearly 10 percent since the start of 2020.

And money poured into government bonds, pushing down bond yields, which move in the opposite direction of prices. The yield on the 10-year Treasury note fell to 1.37 percent, near the record low closing of 1.36, a level touched back in July 2016. The yield on the 30-year bond is already in record-low territory at 1.83 percent.

TXPR closed at 611.98, down 0.92% on the day. Volume was 2.21-million, above average in the context of the past thirty days but nothing special.

CPD closed at 12.23, down 1.13% on the day. Volume of 133,936 was the highest of the past 30 days, ahead of the second-place February 5.

ZPR closed at 9.85, down 0.71% on the day. Volume of 795,486 was by far the highest of the past 30 days, well ahead of January 24.

Five-year Canada yields were down 8bp to 1.22% today.

MFC.PR.N To Reset At 3.675%

Saturday, February 22nd, 2020

Manulife Financial Corporation has announced (on February 19):

the applicable dividend rates for its Non-cumulative Rate Reset Class 1 Shares Series 19 (the “Series 19 Preferred Shares”) (TSX: MFC.PR.N) and Non-cumulative Floating Rate Class 1 Shares Series 20 (the “Series 20 Preferred Shares”).

With respect to any Series 19 Preferred Shares that remain outstanding after March 19, 2020, holders thereof will be entitled to receive fixed rate non-cumulative preferential cash dividends on a quarterly basis, as and when declared by the Board of Directors of Manulife and subject to the provisions of the Insurance Companies Act (Canada). The dividend rate for the five-year period commencing on March 20, 2020, and ending on March 19, 2025, will be 3.6750% per annum or $0.229688 per share per quarter, being equal to the sum of the five-year Government of Canada bond yield as at February 19, 2020, plus 2.30%, as determined in accordance with the terms of the Series 19 Preferred Shares.

With respect to any Series 20 Preferred Shares that may be issued on March 19, 2020 in connection with the conversion of the Series 19 Preferred Shares into the Series 20 Preferred Shares, holders thereof will be entitled to receive floating rate non-cumulative preferential cash dividends on a quarterly basis, calculated on the basis of actual number of days elapsed in each quarterly floating rate period divided by 365, as and when declared by the Board of Directors of Manulife and subject to the provisions of the Insurance Companies Act (Canada). The dividend rate for the three-month period commencing on March 20, 2020, and ending on June 19, 2020, will be 0.99259% (3.9380% on an annualized basis) or $0.248148 per share, being equal to the sum of the three-month Government of Canada Treasury bill yield as at February 19, 2020, plus 2.30%, as determined in accordance with the terms of the Series 20 Preferred Shares.

Beneficial owners of Series 19 Preferred Shares who wish to exercise their right of conversion should instruct their broker or other nominee to exercise such right before 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on March 4, 2020. The news release announcing such conversion right was issued on February 3, 2020 and can be viewed on SEDAR or Manulife’s website. Conversion inquiries should be directed to Manulife’s Registrar and Transfer Agent, AST Trust Company (Canada), at 1‑800‑783‑9495.

The Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) has conditionally approved the listing of the Series 20 Preferred Shares effective upon conversion. Listing of the Series 20 Preferred Shares is subject to Manulife fulfilling all the listing requirements of the TSX and, upon approval, the Series 20 Preferred Shares will be listed on the TSX under the trading symbol “MFC.PR.S”.

MFC.PR.N is a FixedReset, 3.80%+230, that commenced trading 2014-12-3 after being announced 2014-11-26. The company provided notice of extension 2020-2-3. It is tracked by HIMIPref™ and is assigned to the FixedReset – Insurance non-NVCC subindex.

The most logical way to analyze the question of whether or not to convert is through the theory of Preferred Pairs, for which a calculator is available. Briefly, a Strong Pair is defined as a pair of securities that can be interconverted in the future (e.g., MFC.PR.N and the FloatingReset that will exist if enough holders convert). Since they will be interconvertible on this future date, it may be assumed that they will be priced identically on this date (if they aren’t then holders will simply convert en masse to the higher-priced issue). And since they will be priced identically on a given date in the future, any current difference in price must be offset by expectations of an equal and opposite value of dividends to be received in the interim. And since the dividend rate on one element of the pair is both fixed and known, the implied average rate of the other, floating rate, instrument can be determined. Finally, we say, we may compare these average rates and take a view regarding the actual future course of that rate relative to the implied rate, which will provide us with guidance on which element of the pair is likely to outperform the other until the next interconversion date, at which time the process will be repeated.

We can show the break-even rates for each FixedReset / FloatingReset Strong Pair graphically by plotting the implied average 3-month bill rate against the next Exchange Date (which is the date to which the average will be calculated). Inspection of the graph and the overall average break-even rates for extant pairs will provide a guide for estimating the break-even rate for the pair now under consideration assuming, of course, that enough conversions occur so that the pair is in fact created.

pairs_fr_200221
Click for Big

The market has little enthusiasm for floating rate product; the implied rates until the next interconversion are generally well below the current 3-month bill rate as the averages for investment-grade and junk issues are at +0.84% and +1.71% (ignoring the outlier AIM.PR.A / AIM.PR.B, which Exchanges 2020-3-31), respectively. Whatever might be the result of the next few Bank of Canada overnight rate decisions, I suggest that it is unlikely that the average rate over the next five years will be lower than current – but if you disagree, of course, you may interpret the data any way you like.

The breakeven rate for the junk pairs has been relatively high recently; I confess I’m not quite sure what to make of it.

Since credit quality of each element of the pair is equal to the other element, it should not make any difference whether the pair examined is investment-grade or junk, although we might expect greater variation of implied rates between junk issues on grounds of lower liquidity, and this is just what we see.

If we plug in the current bid price of the MFC.PR.N FixedReset, we may construct the following table showing consistent prices for its soon-may-be-issued FloatingReset counterpart given a variety of Implied Breakeven yields consistent with issues currently trading:

Estimate of FloatingReset (received in exchange for MFC.PR.N) Trading Price In Current Conditions
  Assumed FloatingReset
Price if Implied Bill
is equal to
FixedReset Bid Price Spread 1.50% 1.00% 0.50%
MFC.PR.N 17.30 230bp 17.42 16.93 16.43

Based on current market conditions, I suggest that the FloatingResets that will result from conversion are likely to trade below the price of their FixedReset counterparts, MFC.PR.N. Therefore, it seems likely that I will recommend that holders of MFC.PR.N continue to hold the issue and not to convert, but I will wait until it’s closer to the March 4 notification deadline before making a final pronouncement. I will note that once the conversion period has passed it may be a good trade to swap one issue for the other in the market once both elements of each pair are trading and you can – hopefully – do it with a reasonably good take-out in price, rather than doing it through the company on a 1:1 basis. But that, of course, will depend on the prices at that time and your forecast for the path of policy rates over the next five years. There are no guarantees – my recommendation is based on the assumption that current market conditions with respect to the pairs will continue until the FloatingResets commence trading and that the relative pricing of the two new pairs will reflect these conditions.

ENB.PF.C : No Conversion To FloatingReset

Saturday, February 22nd, 2020

Enbridge Inc. has announced (on February 18):

that none of its outstanding Cumulative Redeemable Preference Shares, Series 11 (Series 11 Shares) will be converted into Cumulative Redeemable Preference Shares, Series 12 of Enbridge (Series 12 Shares) on March 1, 2020.

After taking into account all conversion notices received from holders of its outstanding Series 11 Shares by the February 18, 2020 deadline for the conversion of the Series 11 Shares into Series 12 Shares, less than the 1,000,000 Series 11 Shares required to give effect to conversions into Series 12 Shares were tendered for conversion.

ENB.PF.C is a FixedReset, 4.40%+264, that commenced trading 2014-5-22 after being announced 2014-5-12. ENB.PF.C will reset at 3.938% effective March 1, 2020. I recommended against conversion. The issue is tracked by HIMIPref™ but is relegated to the Scraps – FixedReset – Discount subindex on credit concerns.

New Issue : PVS SplitShare, 4.70%, 7-Year

Friday, February 21st, 2020

Partners Value Split Corp. has announced:

that it has entered into an agreement to sell 6,000,000 Class AA Preferred Shares, Series 10 (the “Series 10 Preferred Shares”) to a syndicate of underwriters led by Scotiabank, BMO Capital Markets, CIBC Capital Markets, RBC Capital Markets and TD Securities Inc. on a bought deal basis.

The Series 10 Preferred Shares will be issued at a price of $25.00 per share, for gross proceeds of $150,000,000. The Series 10 Preferred Shares will carry a fixed coupon of 4.70% and will have a final maturity of February 28, 2027. The Series 10 Preferred Shares have a provisional rating of Pfd-2 (low) from DBRS Limited. The net proceeds of the offering will be used to pay a special dividend on the Company’s capital shares.

The Company has granted the underwriters an option, exercisable in whole or part prior to closing, to purchase up to an additional 2,000,000 Series 10 Preferred Shares at the same offering price, which, if exercised, would increase the gross offering size to $200,000,000. Closing of the offering is expected to occur on or about March 2, 2020.

The Company owns a portfolio consisting of 79,740,966 Class A Limited Voting Shares of Brookfield Asset Management Inc. (the “Brookfield Shares”) which is expected to yield quarterly dividends that are sufficient to fund quarterly fixed cumulative preferential dividends for the holders of the Company’s preferred shares and to enable the holders of the Company’s capital shares to participate in any capital appreciation of the Brookfield Shares. Brookfield Asset Management Inc. (“BAM”) is a leading global alternative asset manager with over US$540 billion of assets under management across real estate, infrastructure, renewable power, private equity and credit. BAM owns and operates long-life assets and businesses, many of which form the backbone of the global economy. Utilizing its global reach, access to large-scale capital and operational expertise, BAM offers a range of alternative investment products to investors around the world—including public and private pension plans, endowments and foundations, sovereign wealth funds, financial institutions, insurance companies and private wealth investors. BAM is listed on the New York Stock Exchange and Toronto Stock Exchange under the symbol BAM and BAM.A respectively.

DBRS has assigned a provisional rating of Pfd-2(low) to the issue:

DBRS Limited (DBRS Morningstar) assigned a provisional rating of Pfd-2 (low) to the Class AA Preferred Shares, Series 10 (the Series 10 Preferred Shares) to be issued by Partners Value Split Corp. (the Company) that will rank pari passu with the existing Class AA Preferred Shares, Series 6; the Class AA Preferred Shares, Series 7; the Class AA Preferred Shares, Series 8; and the Class AA Preferred Shares, Series 9 (collectively, the Class AA Preferred Shares).

Following the issuance of the Series 10 Preferred Shares, the downside protection available to the Class AA Preferred Shares is expected to be approximately 89% and the dividend coverage ratio is expected to be approximately 2.1 times (x; based on the Canadian-dollar and U.S.-dollar exchange rate as of February 12, 2020)

The main constraints to the rating are the following:

(1) The downside protection available to holders of the Class AA Preferred Shares depends solely on the market value of the BAM Shares held in the Portfolio, which will fluctuate over time.

(2) There is a lack of diversification, as the Portfolio is entirely made up of BAM Shares.

(3) Changes in the dividend policy of BAM may result in reductions in Class AA Preferred Share dividend coverage.

(4) As BAM declares dividends in U.S. dollars, the Company is exposed to foreign currency risk relating to the Canadian–U.S. exchange rate, specifically the appreciation of the Canadian dollar versus the U.S. dollar. This may have a negative impact on the dividend coverage ratio of the Class AA Preferred Shares, as these dividends are paid in Canadian dollars.

(5) Downside protection available to the Class AA Preferred Shares may be negatively affected by the retraction of the Junior Preferred Shares.

The issue looks well-priced!

There was something of a mysterious announcement from DBRS today:

DBRS Limited (DBRS Morningstar) assigned a provisional rating of BBB (low) with a Stable trend to Brookfield Renewable Partners L.P.’s (BEP) up to USD 200 million Class A Preferred Limited Partnership Units (U.S.), Series 17 (the Series 17 Preferred Units).

Series 17 units aren’t mentioned on the company’s website or on Globe Newswire. Is there an announcement planned for the near future?
