Q: hello 5i:
last question on this preferred over a year ago. Can you give me an update and do you consider it buyable? Safety rating would be beneficial.
thanks

Q: Just a follow up to my previous question on the above. I checked with Quadravest and I can tender my preferred at the lesser of $10.00 or the NAV if it's less than $10.00 on December 1/24. According to the last NAV of $15.62 we have 56% downward protection. Given that it holds the 15 biggest companies on the TSX with dividends would you agree that it would be a fairly safe investment with a 9.8% return over the remaining 23 months to maturity?

Q: I recently bought some DFN.PR.A at $9.22 which pays a 5.5% dividend monthly. It "matures" on Dec 1, 2024 at which point my understanding I can redeem the shares at $10.. According to my calculations my return should be 9.81%. Is my return calculation correct and do you see much risk since it own the 15 biggest companies in Canada that pay high dividends?
