Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: I have provided a sampling of the Preferred Shares I have in my holdings where most of them have rate renewals out into 2023/24. With prospect of a recession and lower interest rates I have locked in returns for the short-term, would you be able to provide some insight into why their market valuation has dropped 25-30% in most cases? Are investors doubting Royal Bank, Bell, Algonquin Power, etc of being able to meet their debt obligations?

Q: I currently hold Royal preferred RY.PR.AZ series which Royal is offering to convert to floating rate non cumulative series BA., which will pay a quarterly dividend of 2.21% over T bill rate. If the Bank of Canada decides to lower its rates, will this not affect the dividend? Should I just stay with the AZ series for another 5 yrs? They are held in a RRIF
