Enbridge Income Fund HoldingsENF.TOCOMMENTMay 07, 2018Stock 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.
What's the relationship between Enbridge and its Income Fund? It's complex. Enbridge owns 90% of the Fund which traditionally trades at a higher multiple. The board will clean up the structure. The equity issues at the fund level will ultimately roll up into Enbridge. It's basically two different ways for them to issue capital for two different purposes.
