Bank of Montreal announced through one of their wholly owned subsidiaries, BMO Capital Trust II, that they will be raising $450 million of capital at a rate of 10.22%.
For all intensive purposes, this is 10 year money. While the bank can extend the maturity date, it will be somewhat onerous to do so as they should be able to raise new capital at better rates than those indicated if the maturity is extended.
While BMO is the first to offer rates of 10%+, others will follow suit as secondary issues dropped on the day as sellers sold off positions to grab the higher rate on this issue.
With rates like these available on investment grade securities, investors would be hard pressed to place funds into equities right now.
