    RĂ©: IGM.PR.B PerpetualPremium to PerpetualDiscount Price…

    Hi
    Not sure I understand ? And considering that PPremium medium yeld is 5,66% and PDiscount is 5,38% does it become a better value ( so to speak ?).

    IGM.PR.B closed with a bid of 24.99 on October 29, and hence no longer qualified as a PerpetualPremium; it was therefore moved to PerpetualDiscount.

    Since it is a near-par issue, one would expect it to trade with a higher yield than other PerpetualDiscounts as compensation for the embedded option value.
