POW.PR.F is a Floater, paying 70% of Canada Prime. It has been notable mainly for its unusual $50 par value, for its sinking fund and for the lackadaisical efforts to give effect to the sinking fund. It has been tracked by HIMIPref™ since the beginning of the database 1993-11-30 and has been assigned to the Scraps index for a long time due to volume concerns – at $340 daily, it has the lowest Average Daily Trading Value of any current issue. But it was in the BMO-CM “50” index as late as 1996!
