Trust Certificates: New Gateway Post

Update 3/25/21: Most of the trust certificates mentioned in this post no longer trade, having been redeemed by the call warrant owner. 

I am no longer able to update my Gateway Post on Trust Certificates (TCs). TRUST Certificates: Links in One Post The reason for that post is that I was no longer able to update the original Gateway Post on this topic published in 2009. Trust Certificates Links in One Post

Snapshots of realized gains from trading TCs can be found at the end of this post. 

So, I have decided to just try a new post on the topic and to organize it more efficiently. In this post I am going to summarize the key terms of each trust certificate (TC) that I currently own, or have owned, provided the TC can still be purchased by an investor. Most of the TCs that I have owned have been redeemed by the owner of the call warrants. More on the Call Warrant in TCs Call Warrants and Trust Certificates Call Warrant Exercised on JZE and JZJ  Those redeemed securities will only be referenced in passing at the end of this Post. 

I will also provide links to my discussions on each TC, as well as links to the FINRA information on the underlying bond, the prospectus for the TC and the prospectus for the underlying bond.  

Links to the FINRA information on the underlying bonds can also be found at LINKS TO FINRA INFORMATION ON UNDERLYING BONDS IN TRUST CERTIFICATES.

A TC is a form of exchange traded bond. An Exchange Traded Bond is traded like a stock on the stock exchange.  

A TC represents an undivided beneficial interest in bonds owned by a Grantor Trust. Those bonds are referred to as the underlying security. The trust is administered by an independent trustee who is charged with collecting the bond interest payments and then distributing those funds to the owners of the TCs. Most TCs have a par value of $25 which makes them easier to purchase for most individual investors, compared to bonds traded in the bond market that have a $1,000 par value.

The TC will have the same maturity as the underlying bond. The longer term bonds contained in TCs will have Make Whole Provisions, a provision found in many long term bond prospectuses, that renders it less likely that the issuer will redeem the bond.

The Grantor Trust is formed by a brokerage company who buys the bonds in the bond market.  The trust then buys the bonds from the brokerage company with the proceeds realized from the sell of TCs in a public offering. Since the bonds are being purchased in the secondary market, their price may be at a discount or premium to the then existing par value. That fact can result in the TC having a lower or higher coupon than the underlying bond.

The number of bonds originally deposited in the Grantor Trust will fluctuate up or down depending on that difference in coupons. A very detailed account of that process is provided in Item # 7 More on Call Warrants and TCs, in connection with the TC XFJ that was redeemed by the owner of the call warrant. XFJ had a 8.375% coupon whereas the underlying bond only had a 6.5% coupon. To support the higher coupon for the TC in the case of XFJ, more bonds with the 6.5% coupon would have to be deposited into the trust. The larger number of Motorola bonds made it juicier for the owner of the call warrant to redeem the TCs, as explained in that post. 

When the Grantor Trust is formed, the agreement will generally grant the brokerage company the right to call the TC at par value plus accrued interest. This right will frequently serve to cap the price movement of the TC. A few TCs do not have call warrants attached to them.

Information about trust certificates can also be found at QuantumOnline.com (free site, registration required). The TCs are described as third party trust preferred securities at that site. I think that description will confuse some investors.  Unlike the typical trust preferred stock that represents an interest in a junior bond owned by a trust, a TC can represent an interest in a senior bond, though many of them do have TPs as their underlying security. 

The following list will first identify the issuer of the underlying security, the TC's symbol and prospectus, the maturity date and coupon, FINRA Information on the underlying bond, the underlying bond prospectus, and lastly links to my discussions. I am omitting references to TCs that have been bought and redeemed, other than just a brief mention at the end of this post.

For synthetic floaters, the coupon mentioned above remains in effect for as long as the swap agreement remains in effect. If that agreement is terminated, then the owner of the TC will receive the fixed coupon of the underlying bond. To my knowledge, JBK is the only TC that had a swap agreement terminated, due to the swap counterparty (Lehman) filing for bankruptcy: www.sec.gov. Prior to that termination JBK was a synthetic floater and became a fixed coupon TC after that termination. New Information about JBK

Some of the TCs that have been redeemed at their $25 par values, plus accrued interest, and were previously owned by me, include the following (all called by the owner of the applicable call warrant except for Xerox which was called by the issuer):

For the most part, the current relevance of these securities involves how the call warrant comes into play.

ADDENDUM: I reader requested some proof of my trades. I routinely provide snapshots of many trades and some of those are referenced above. It will take some time to compile snapshots of all TC trades. I will start with the retirement accounts where the process of making these snapshots is easier and then move on to the taxable accounts. The foregoing snapshots are just realized gains. Virtually all of these gains were made with 50 to 100 share lots. I will add more as time permits, and I will add some captions that will enable anyone interested to find a particular trade.
