That, together with the appalling January of 2016 dropping out of the trailing twelve months, means that TXPR has achieved a +24.23% total return over the past year &#8230; a pretty good recovery, but there&#8217;s still a ways to go! The five-year annualized total return is a miserable +0.42%, but at least it&#8217;s positive for the first time since August, 2015; the four-year figure is an abysmal -0.55%.<\/p>\n<p>As near as I can make out, the Solactive Laddered Canadian Preferred Share Index is up 31.37% on the year (+4.76% on the month), but the four year annualized total return is still an awful -2.19%.<\/p>\n<table
