Treasury shares sold?The NAV is so high because there were 684,500 more units outstanding at November 29 than October closing. It indicates to me that shares were sold out of the treasury at market. Every pref share they sold at market means the buyers are prepaying about 5 months worth of pref distributions.
I would not be surprised if FFN maximized their NCIB during during November since Trump won. US bank shares jumped dramatically since then. The Class A NAV for the October closing was $6.82 vs $8.29 for November after accounting for the distribution whereas the average share price is likely around $7.50... a big bonus for the fund.
These observations are derived from the October/November updates.
