Marketwired
Canadian Banc Recovery Corp. (formerly Prime Rate Plus Corp) ("the
Company") announces its semi-annual financial results for the six
months ending May 31, 2009.
The six month period ending May 31, 2009 was one of the most
tumultuous periods in financial market history. Against this
backdrop, the market prices of the Canadian bank stocks in the
portfolio mirrored this activity reaching lows in early March but
recovering significantly by the end of May. The net asset value as
at May 31 ended $1.85 higher to $17.60 per unit over the six month
period. Distributions for both classes of shareholders were made at
the targeted rates during the period.
The Company invests in a portfolio of six publicly traded
Canadian Banks as follows: Bank of Montreal, Canadian Imperial Bank
of Commerce, National Bank of Canada, Royal Bank of Canada, Bank of
Nova Scotia, Toronto-Dominion Bank. Shares held within the
portfolio are expected to range between 5-20% in weight but may
vary at any time. To generate additional returns above the dividend
income earned on the portfolio, Prime Plus will engage in a
selective covered call writing program.
