Q: I hold some Canaccord Genuity Group preferred shares. Canaccord announced a few days ago that they are looking at taking the company private. But the offer is only for the common shares and not for the preferred shares. It sounds like the company will delist their common shares from the TSX, but its preferred shares will continue to be listed. Should I be worried about this? Thanks.

Q: I hold Canaccord series A 5 year rate reset prefs which will reset in September at 5yr GOC + 3.21%. They also have a voluntary conversion privilege into series B floating rate prefs which pay 3 month GOC T-Bill + the same 3.21%. With the likelihood that interest rates are likely to go up from here, would you agree that it makes sense to opt for the conversion? The series A prefs have been on a tear over the past 9 months from a low near $12 to their current price close to $19. Is it likely that a large driver of the price increase is related to excitement over the upcoming conversion privilege?
