Q: These shares have an attractive yield. Could you please shed some more light on them. Considering for non reg account. When do they reset? At what rate? If reset today, what would rate be? Thanks
5i Research Answer:
This is a reset preferred, with dividends set against the 5-year Canada rate plus 2.13%. The next reset is September 2028. Today the benchmark rate is 3.12%, so the rate would be 5.25% ( based on $25 par value) or $0.328 per quarter vs $0.3268 now. FTS is a $30B company with very stable cash flow and a long, successful history. In terms of credit quality we would consider these preferreds very strong.
