[…] PerpetualDiscounts now yield 5.96%, equivalent to 7.75% interest at the standard equivalency factor of 1.3x. Long corporates yielded 4.77% on 2024-9-20 and since then the closing price of ZLC has changed from 15.51 to 15.48 after going ex-dividend for $0.06 on 9/27, a total return of +0.19%, implying a decrease of yields of 2bp (BMO reports a duration of 12.47, but don’t disclose whether this is Macaulay or Modified; I will assume Modified) to 4.75%. Therefore, the pre-tax interest-equivalent spread (in this context, the “Seniority Spread”) has remained constant at the 300bp reported September 25. […]
