Financial 15 Split Corp. II ("Financial 15 II") announces its
annual financial results for the year ending November 30, 2008.
By the end of 2008, the cumulative impact of the deterioration
in financial and economic conditions created record lows in
business, investor and consumer confidence and resulted in
recessionary conditions throughout the world. In addition, the
de-leveraging of hedge funds and other similar funds during the
final months exacerbated market volatility and losses in financial
markets. Market indices experienced declines not seen since the
Great Depression of the 1930s. In North America, declines of-32.45%
and-47.62% respectively for the S&P TSX Financial index and
S&P 500 Financials index for the year ending November 30, 2008
evidenced the deterioration of financial and economic conditions on
even the most broadly financial indices.
Throughout this difficult environment, the core holdings in the
portfolio have been negatively impacted. The Company met its
distribution objectives during the year for Preferred shares but
due to the decline in the net asset value to below $15 per unit in
November, the final dividend payment in November was not declared
and as a result Class A shares received only 11 of the 12 monthly
payments. The net asset value declined to $13.13 per unit (a unit
consisting of one Preferred share and one Class A share) as of
November 30, 2008.
Financial 15 II invests in a portfolio consisting of 15
financial services companies made up of Canadian and U.S. issuers
as follows: Bank of Montreal, The Bank of Nova Scotia, CIBC, Royal
Bank, Toronto-Dominion Bank, National Bank of Canada, ManuLife
Financial, Sun Life Financial, Great-West Lifeco, CI Financial
Income Fund, Bank of America, Citigroup, JP Morgan & Chase,
Wells Fargo. Shares held within the Portfolio are expected to range
between 4-8% in weight but may vary from time to time.
