RE:Why hasn’t Df made a move like FFNPerhaps because DF still needs to recover over 3.3% to reach the dividend breakpoint while FFN needs less than 1%. This difference makes DF still a little less palatable for the moment, the big step will come as soon as the NAV will approachthe $15 mark.
Also, almost 60% of FFN holdings are US banks, which are seen more reliable and stronger that the Canadian ones. US holdings have increased by over $80M, while the Canadian ones only about $50M. DF holds the same Canadian banks plus a combination of other stocks and their performance has not been as strong.
