Appreciate all your posts Viking and safetyinnumbers.
This TRS trade fascinates me. It’s like a hedge fund but FFH is not a hedge fund.
I’m wondering if anyone could answer some questions I have:
- Who is on the other side of the trade? OMERS?
- What is the arrangement for the other party? Floating rate plus a point or two?
- Is there a kicker on the exit?
- Why is Fairfax buying back shares instead of closing out the TRS? Is it because they still think the shares are selling at a discount?
I have to admit I didn’t understand or appreciate the trade fully in 2021. But love it now that I have seen it play out.
