The issue has been rated Pfd-2 by DBRS since its listing 2005-11-21. Asset coverage as of May 15, 2008, was just under 2.2:1, according to the company.
The issue was noted by Assiduous Reader cowboylutrell in the comments to May 22. The more I thought about the issue, the fewer good reasons I could think of to justify its continued exclusion.
The main argument against inclusion is that, by backdated additions of issues due to their continued good credit quality and liquidity, a certain amount of survivor bias is incorporated into HIMIPref™. I take the view that this sad fact is outweighed by the opportunity of having another tradeable issue.
