Voting rights are valuable in a company like <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/volkswagen-ag" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:21738:1" rel="noopener">Volkswagen (VOW GR)</a> , so a 5.8% discount of the prefs. seems about right.

Recommended trades





Bayerische Motoren Werke AG (BMW GR) : the discount has traded sideways since mid-September, and is now 23.2%. I would recommend setting up a trade long BMW prefs, short common shares with a target of a 15% discount.

Voting rights are valuable in a company like Volkswagen (VOW GR) , so a 5.8% discount of the prefs. seems about right. It has moved sideways since mid-September.  If you believe that the higher liquidity of the prefs will, at some point, mean that the discount will close, then a long prefs/short ords may be an option; plus it can be executed in size. The discount tightened since the March selloff and has been moving within a tight range. 


A 35.9% discount of Danieli &amp; C Officine Meccanich (DAN IM) savers (vs. 37.5% in September and 39% in June) seems still too wide, and low liquidity does not help. I keep on recommending long savers/short ordinaries. A 30% discount is not a demanding target.


Grifols SA (GRF SM) B shares are trading at a 37.9% discount (vs. 41.9 by mid-September), there is a trend towards the tightening of this discount since mid-March.

<a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/fuchs-petrolub-se" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Fuchs Petrolub Se (FPE GR)</a> 's premium seems to vary within a range, which is probably liquidity related.

Liquid Universe of European Ordinary and Preferred Shares

This report contains a table that shows select European companies with non-voting shares and ordinary shares. Non-voting shares are usually referred to as preferred shares (although the denomination varies in the different countries), whilst voting shares are usually known as ordinary shares.
For each company there is a graph showing the discount (or the premium) of one share class relative to the other, followed by a relative value trade recommendation, if I believe there are grounds for it.
Recommended trades:
<ul>
<li>
Carlsberg B shares are trading at a 9% discount vs. the A shares. A mean reversion trade could be set up, with a target of a 5% discount of the B shares vs. the A shares.</li>
<li>
BMW exhibits a trend towards a tightening of the discount of preferred shares, which widened up to 24% as a result of a market selloff. Now the discount is 16% (vs. 18% in March report and 17% in April's). I would recommend setting up a trade long BMW prefs, short ords with a target of a 12% discount.</li>
<li>
Fuchs's premium seems to vary within a range, which is probably liquidity related. It is 14.5% currently (vs. 15.7% in the previous report). The recommendation is setting up long ords/short prefs, with a 10% target.</li>
<li>Henkel shows a long-term trend towards a reduction of the premium of the preferred shares. The premium is 11.3% (vs. 12.6% in April's report). The trade would be short prefs., long ords. with a 10% target.</li>
<li>The erstwhile favourite share class trade, Volkswagen, shows no obvious trade opportunity at the moment, in my view. Remember that voting rights are valuable in a company like Volkswagen, so an 8.2% discount of the prefs. relative to the ords. seems about right. But if you have a different (directional) view, believe that preferred shareholders are not going to get any rough treatment anytime soon, and look for size, you can set up the noughties' favourite trade, long VOW3/short VOW. It is difficult to think of any takeover attempt for Volkswagen.</li>
<li>
Telecom Italia savings, long position, for yield investors (7.5%), or long savings/short ords, as the ordinary shares are paying no dividend, an investor would obtain all the positive carry from the savings.</li>
<li>Grifols B shares are trading at a 38% discount (vs. a 37.5% in the previous report). The discount in Grifols B shares has averaged 26.7% over the last four years. I recommend setting up the trade long B shares traded on Nasdaq, short A shares traded in Madrid. The target is a 27% discount. Please note there is FX risk, which can be hedged.</li>
<li>The spread of Handelsbanken B shares has widened to a premium of 9.9% (vs. 11.4% premium in April), in part related to the lower liquidity on the B shares (c. EUR 1.4 million daily average). I recommend setting up a trade short B/long A shares at this level, with a target of 2.5% discount, if you can get hold of any B shares.
