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 happened to ENF-T? It was brought in by the parent. It does not have a lot of growth potential. You get a great dividend. It is difficult to show where growth comes from, however.
(A Top Pick Apr 19/18, Up 17%) He's not sure why ENB split the ENF out and ENF traded at a discount to ENB which yielded more and was cheaper than ENB. That's why he chose ENF. ENG bought it in the end.
(A Top Pick Jan 19/18, Up 17%) That was a sweet recommendation as this was better than Enbridge (ENB-T). It was absorbed by Enbridge (ENB-T) that he doesn't like as much.
He understands this will get folded into the Enbridge parent. He's always liked this stock, but not anymore. So, look at Enbridge, which has some value, but is also not very exciting.
Is being rolled up by the parent Enbridge. Now they have tried to simplify their corporate structure. If you hold this, you will either get Enbridge shares or could elect to get cash. Simplifying the structure should make investors more comfortable.
(A Top Pick December 11/17 - Up 8%.) 15% up including the dividend. Given the shortage of capacity the demand for its assets are very strong. It’s going to be consolidated with the main company and this is going to disappear, and you will get a share of Enbridge (ENB).
ENB taking over ENF: Sell one, buy one or both buy? The reflationary sectors will do well in the next leg of this cycle, but the pipelines will not. Instead look at U.S. financials. Hold onto ENB, maybe make a move on the fund, ENF. Buy stocks/sectors that will benefit from rising rates.
A lot of the yield stocks have had a tough year, including this one, due to rising interest rates. He doesn't buy that. Interest rates haven't risen that much and these yields are still a lot higher than bonds.
Should I roll my ENF-T into ENB-T? The acquisition by Enbridge Inc makes good sense as it will simplify the structure of the company. With Enbridge committing to increase dividend in the years ahead, he sees no reason why you would not roll this over into ENB-T shares tax free.
The parent is offering to buy the Fund at a 10% premium. He would continue to hold this. The share conversion is unclear to him, but he would continue to stay with this company.
