MFC.PR.P: Little Trading After Conversion From MFC.PR.F

MFC.PR.P, the new FloatingReset that has come into existence via partial exchange from MFC.PR.F, is now trading.

The 21% conversion rate has been reported previously; Assiduous Readers will remember that I recommended against conversion. MFC.PR.F now pays 2.178% (on par) until 2021-6-19, while MFC.PR.P will pay 3-month bills +141bp, reset quarterly.

MFC.PR.P closed June 20 with a quote of 12.90-20

Vital statistics are:

MFC.PR.P FloatingReset YTW SCENARIO
Maturity Type : Hard Maturity
Maturity Date : 2025-01-31
Maturity Price : 25.00
Evaluated at bid price : 11.50
Bid-YTW : 12.25 %

The $2.05 price difference between the two elements of the Strong Pair (I told you not to convert!) implies a break-even three-month bill rate of -1.20% – at the low end of the range defined by other investment-grade Strong Pairs.
