A Couple Issues Now Trading with Floating Rate

In the last couple of weeks we have had a couple of fixed-to-floating rate mREITs move into their floating rate periods.

The New York Mortgage Trust 7.875% (NYMTM) issue is now trading with at 3 month SOFR+.2616% plus a spread of 6.429% for a very juicy +10% yield. Additionally Two Harbors Investment has an issue that just went into the floating period with their 7.25% issue (TWO-C) which will float at 3 month SOFR+.2616% plus a spread of 5.011% for a +9% yield.

I hold a few of the mREIT floating rate preferreds–in the current environment they trade very steady and almost always around $25 as they become redeemable at the same time as they become floating which means there is always a call threat.

  1. When an issue floats at a higher rate I look at their other issues that haven’t floated yet. Typically priced better if you have a longer view.

    1. Sorry, the link takes one to the Two Harbors issue ONLY. Is it intended to link to ALL ‘floaters’? [Also, I wished to ‘reply’ to main msg; but, there is no REPLY ‘button’?]
      Thank you.

        1. Thanks, Original D.

          Tim –
          In the column “Spread” I see “FIXED” for CHSCN, but not for CHSCM.
          Can we say that CHSCM is FIXED too? CHS fixed both of those.

          In their 10Q disclosure below, pfd stock Series 3 is CHSCM and pfd stock Series 2 is CHSCN.

          CHS 10-Q, filed 1/10/24, p. 36:
