RE:AND an earlier offering in DFN of ONLY Preferred sharesAs per below 1/year possible retraction.
A lot more agents (banks) hold their pref versus common. (I guess more secured)
Retail investors are more inclined to go for high yield (A)
ATM isn't sold to agents(banks) as they can buy them in offering with a discount. 5% on A and maybe 1-2% on Pref from announced prices.
I guess QV are selling on ATM shares to help balance the mix A versus Pref.
I use my DFN pref. as the fix income portion of my portfolio. The share price doesn't move much but return is steady and 10$ can be retracted similar to a GIC at 5% that for which there is no fix term.
