RE:RE:DFN unit nav to Nov 11 = approx; $16.68Dickey we are rare birds. Very few Canadians will touch split fund's, and American people aren't allowed by their government. So when I look at all the splits together, I want to own what's growing the fastest. DFN would be for me if it were the only split.

Royal Bank of Canada
Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce
Manulife Financial Corp
Sun Life Financial Inc
TC Energy Corp
Now here are the gains today for all 5 in order :
RY.TO 172.78+0.74(+0.43%)
CM.TO 89.81+0.26(+0.29%)
MFC.TO 45.11+0.87(+1.97%)
SLF.TO 82.96+0.50(+0.61%)
TRP.TO 69.10+1.28(+1.89%)
I share in the frustration and am puzzled. It seems like there were a lot of iceberg like orders on the sell side capping the upside today, like FTN , FFN as well.

There are several split funds with commons much more discounted than DFN, including DF which carries a higher NAV and bigger discount with the same stocks. FFN , FTN, LBS , and LFE all also have bigger discounts and more safety.
