| Exchange Traded Debt Securities Alphabetically Sorted Exchange-traded debt securities are notes and bonds that are traded on the stock exchanges instead of the bond markets where most bonds are traded. Exchange-traded debt securities have maturity dates of 30 years or more. . Most of these debt securities pay quarterly interest distributions. Most exchange-traded debt securities rank junior to the company's secured debt and senior to the company's preferred and common stock. Most of the issues are $25.00 issues and generally are callable at $25.00 (plus accrued interest)- 5 years from the date of issue. Interest is paid quarterly on most of these issues. Caution should be used when purchasing these debt securities when the 5 year first call date is approaching. In an environment of falling interest rates companies will be refinancing as much debt as is practical. On occasion investors get carried away and bid the higher yielding issues up far beyond the $25 call price. If you buy an issue that is trading way above the call price and it is called at $25/share you will have an immediate loss of capital--this happens only after the call date. For this reason we buy newer issues that have 3-5 years before they are callable. NOTE that the distributions on these securities is considered interest and thus is NOT eligible for the 15% tax rate Below are issues traded mainly on the New York Stock Exchange Earliest Call Dates with YELLOW backgrounds are now callable--if the company can refinance at favorable (lower) rates they likely will be called. If the issue is trading above the call price use caution when purchasing as a call will translate into a instant capital loss in this situation.
