Firstly, the market does not appear to be differentiated between the NVCC compliant and non-compliant issues, as the latter appear to be plotted on a line more or less defined by the former. Additionally, the Implied Volatility is very high – ridiculously high, for NVCC-compliant issues – so I would expect TD.PF.D to outperform the three other compliant issues (TD.PF.A, TD.PF.B and TD.PF.C) as the market comes to realize what the word “perpetual” means.
