Enbridge Income Fund HoldingsENF.TOHOLDSep 11, 2017Stock 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.
In the beginning of the year there was an expectation that interest rates would go up in the US and not in Canada, but then Canada surprised. Dividend stocks have been slightly underperforming the market. The effect from the rate increases is marginal.
