First National Financial Corporation, proud issuer of FN.PR.A, has been confirmed at Pfd-3 by DBRS<\/a>:<\/p>\n

DBRS Limited (DBRS) has today confirmed the Issuer Rating of First National Financial LP (FNFLP) at BBB, and the ratings for the Senior Unsecured Debt and Class A Preference Shares of First National Financial Corporation (FNFC; DBRS refers to FNFLP and FNFC together as First National or the Company) at BBB (low) and Pfd-3, respectively. The trend on these ratings is Stable. The rating actions follow a detailed review of the Company\u2019s operating results, financial fundamentals and future prospects.
…<\/b>
DBRS considers First National\u2019s low risk balance sheet as a key factor supporting the ratings. DBRS notes that the Company\u2019s direct credit exposure is limited to a $246 million mortgage investment portfolio (0.9% of total assets as of YE15) it holds on its balance sheet, mostly in commercial bridge lending. Historically, mortgages originated by First National have outperformed the industry with very low delinquency rates. DBRS sees sustaining this performance as critical to the Company\u2019s business model and franchise. While low energy prices continue to be a headwind for the Canadian economy, the impact on the Canadian housing market has largely been regional to date, with some weakening of credit metrics in the western provinces.<\/p>\n

DBRS considers First National\u2019s liquidity and funding to be appropriately managed and aligned with its assets. First National funds most of its MUA either through sales to institutional investors (63%) or by securitization (26%), with the remaining MUA mostly warehoused temporarily, awaiting sale or securitization. However, FNF does have some concentration risk, with 13.7% of placement fees and mortgage income being originated from one Canadian financial institution in 2015.
…<\/b>
DBRS considers First National\u2019s capital levels to be acceptable given the relatively low level of credit risk. At December 31, 2015, the Company\u2019s tangible partner equity-to-tangible assets (excluding securitized mortgages) was 8.8%. However, given the high dividend payout ratio, organic capital generation has been constrained. DBRS would view improved capital retention favourably.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It was a modestly positive day for the Canadian preferred share market, with PerpetualDiscounts gaining 1bp, FixedResets up 11bp and DeemedRetractibles winning 18bp. The Performance Highlights table shows a fair amount of underlying churn. While overall volume was average, there was a lot of volume in the top issues.<\/p>\n

For as long as the FixedReset market is so violently unsettled, I\u2019ll keep publishing updates of the more interesting and meaningful series of FixedResets\u2019 Implied Volatilities. This doesn\u2019t include Enbridge because although Enbridge has a large number of issues outstanding, all of which are quite liquid, the range of Issue Reset Spreads is too small for decent conclusions. The low is 212bp (ENB.PR.H; second-lowest is ENB.PR.D at 237bp) and the high is a mere 268 for ENB.PF.G.<\/p>\n

Remember that all rich \/cheap assessments are:
\n\u00bb based on Implied Volatility Theory only
\n\u00bb are relative only to other FixedResets from the same issuer
\n\u00bb assume constant GOC-5 yield
\n\u00bb assume constant Implied Volatility
\n\u00bb assume constant spread<\/p>\n
