There was no announcement from Sun Life Financial Corporation, but SLF.PR.K, a FloatingReset that has resulted from a 14% exchange from SLF.PR.H<\/a> has commenced trading. SLF.PR.H has reset at 2.842%<\/a> and will reset again 2021-9-30 (or be called on that date) at GOC-5 +217, while SLF.PR.K will pay three month bills +217bp, reset quarterly; in both cases, the dividends will be calculated on the $25 par value of the stocks. The two issues are interconvertible every Exchange Date, making them a Strong Pair.<\/p>\n

Vital Statistics as of September 30 are:<\/p>\n

\n\n\n\n
SLF.PR.H<\/td>\nFixedReset<\/td>\nYTW SCENARIO
\nMaturity Type : Hard Maturity
\nMaturity Date\t: 2025-01-31
\nMaturity Price : 25.00
\nEvaluated at bid price : 16.57
\nBid-YTW : 8.59 %<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
SLF.PR.K<\/td>\nFloatingReset<\/td>\nYTW SCENARIO
\nMaturity Type : Hard Maturity
\nMaturity Date\t: 2025-01-31
\nMaturity Price : 25.00
\nEvaluated at bid price : 16.25
\nBid-YTW : 8.71 %<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n

It will be noted in the above that I assume a Hard Maturity as of 2025-01-31 for both issues.<\/p>\n

As this issue is from an insurer and there is no provision for conversion into common shares at the option of the issuer, I consider this to be subject to my Deemed Retraction<\/a> policy; accordingly I have placed a maturity entry dated 2025-1-31 at par in the call schedule of this instrument for analytical purposes. Note that this approach is due to analysis and there is no contractual provision in the terms of issue for any such maturity<\/b>.<\/p>\n

At the close 2016-10-3, the Strong Pair<\/a> was trading with an implied average three-month bill rate to the next Exchange Date of +0.24%; SLF.PR.K has a good relative bid compared to other pairs!<\/p>\n
