Enbridge Income Fund HoldingsENF.TOCOMMENTMay 04, 2016Stock price when the opinion was issued
As of Nov 10, 2018. Market Open.
Enbridge wants to buy ENF to simplify their corporate structure. In the States, Enbridge offered a small premium, while in Canada, they offered a premium. He suspects the directors of ENF-T are waiting for a higher premium (or that's what he would do). Pays a higher yield than Enbridge Inc. but lacks the dividend growth potential.
The dividend is very stable. Expects that they will continue to get more assets from their parent Enbridge (ENB-T) which could lead to a possible equity overhang. He would always have a concern whether Enbridge would opportunistically take the income fund back in. Because of this, he prefers owning the parent. Dividend yield of 6.7%.
