RE:Is the PP drivingI think it likely because FTN trading at a discount and speculation concerning rising interest rate in the near future, may have some opting for the shares in safer split funds, with plenty of safety coverage for paying to commons.
I note that today, FTN is the top mover % wise amongst these splits that i follow, up about 1.65 % today, and currently would have annual yield of 12.36% with over $7.50 of safety coverage above the 15$ threshhold for paying to commons.
DGS is having a big day too, up over 1.26% , but only about $1.70 in safety coverage after distributions are doled out, BUT does yield over 16.6%annaully at this rate.
BK i see up nicely again today, about .7 % and has been on a big move since announcing an increase in the monthly distribution to reflect a 15% yield. It is definitley high in the safety dept. with over 9$ of coverage to the 15 $ threshhold. BK trading at a discount to NAV even after distributions.
Strangely one being left out of the split funds gaining today is DFN, which has a higher safety margin than DGS, about 3$, trading nearly at NAV , so barely a premium even after distributions.
DFN does only yield 14.7% so very similar to BK.

The share price up? If so why, or is it the ex dividend date coming up?
