Compare Insurance Preferred Shares Process

Each investor has a unique selection process and looks at the same metric differently.

  1. Some investors looking for high yield over the next 5 years will put more emphasis on the “Blended Yield” metric.
  2. More weight should be given to the “Rating” metric if you are looking for the highest credit worthy issues.
  3. Good value is indicated by metric “Rate increase percent”.  This also highlights the stocks with the most room for capital gains if rates start going up.

Conclusion

We expect each investor, to review the various metrics, and make a determination on the totality of their values. While at the same time expressing their personal investing style. In other words we present you with the information and you make a choice you are comfortable with.

Two tables are provided here. Review both, since the information provided contributes to the selection process.

If you need more information on how to use the metrics below, see our how to YouTube video  or our post how to pick the best preferred share of a company.  

Table To Compare Preferred Shares Of The Canadian Insurance Companies

The following metrics are now only available on the premium version of this tool:


  1. Reset Date.
  2. Reset (Yield | Dividend). Represents the yield and dividend for the current issue after the upcoming reset. For this calculation it’s assumed the key rates are going to be the same as todays published rates. The reset yield is the sum of the key rate for the base term (5YR, 3Month, etc) plus the published spread. Since we do not know what the key rate will be at the time of the reset we assume its going to be the same as today. The ability to use a different set of rates during this caclulation is planned for a future release.
  3. Blended (Yield | Dividend).
  4. Rate Change Percent.
  5. Rate Change To Value.
  6. New Spread Change. It shows the effect or the current price on the issue spread of the preferred. It shows the percent increase/decrease of the new spread
  7. New Spread Value.
  8. Short Position.
