We might be getting a new SplitShare fund:
Ninepoint Partners LP (“Ninepoint”) is pleased to announce that Canadian Large Cap Leaders Split Corp. (the “Company”) has filed a preliminary prospectus dated December 19, 2023 in connection with an initial public offering of preferred shares (“Preferred Shares”) and class A shares (“Class A Shares”). A receipt for the preliminary prospectus has been issued by the securities regulatory authorities in each of the provinces and territories of Canada.
The Company will invest in an initially equally-weighted portfolio comprised primarily of equity securities of Canadian Dividend Growth Companies (as defined below), selected by the portfolio manager, that at the time of investment and immediately following each periodic reconstitution and rebalancing: (i) are listed on a Canadian exchange; (ii) pay a dividend; (iii) generally have a market capitalization of at least $10 billion; (iv) have options in respect of its equity securities that, in the opinion of the portfolio manager, are sufficiently liquid to permit the portfolio manager to write options in respect of such securities; and (v) have a history of dividend growth or, in the portfolio manager’s view have high potential for future dividend growth (“Canadian Dividend Growth Companies”).
The preferreds have been provisionally rated Pfd-3(high) by DBRS
PerpetualDiscounts now yield 6.97%, equivalent to 9.06% interest at the standard equivalency factor of 1.3x. Long corporates yielded 5.03% on 2023-12-8 and since then the closing price has changed from 15.18 to 15.86, an increase of 448bp in price, with a Duration (BMO doesn’t specify Modified or Macaulay – I will assume the former) of 12.41 implying a decrease of 36bp in yield to 4.67%, so the pre-tax interest-equivalent spread (in this context, the “Seniority Spread”) has widened to 440bp from the 430bp reported December 13.
