North American Financial 15 Split Corp T.FFN

FTN - FFN comparison ???

[FatTraderDude01]

I am trying to see the differences between FTN and FFN.  I see FFN is slightly more volatile and in an early-mid  stage of its run.

I see the 15 stocks are the same in each so I assume the differences are in the weightings.

Can anyone tell me which, at he mpment, is safer or and which is more prone to growth

Thanks in advance!

FFN has higher leverage than FTN, so its NAV rises faster when the markets move higher, but also  drops faster when the markets move lower. The NAV of FTN is higher, so it's dividend is more sustainable than FFN's. . In short, if sustainable dividends are your primary concern, FTN is the better choice. If growth is your primary goal, FFN is the better choice. I would be remiss not

Actually the top 15 in each to differ, FFN has more US holdings, MS and USB to be exact, and FTN has more  % of CAD holdings,.  When the US banking sector is doing better than CAD, ( as currently  is the case) The UNIT NAV rises faster , despite the lower UNIT NAV... So this month  (so far) the % of gain is bigger for FFN commons NAV,  59 cents since the last update or
