Bank of America (NYSE:BAC) warrants comprise 9.4% of Fund assets. The warrants offer attractive upside given that the company trades under tangible book value per share of $15.62. CEO Brian Moynihan recently noted that Bank of America’s 2015 results were the “company’s highest earnings in nearly a decade,” and much more improvement is possible. As the company reduces expenses and increases capital distributions, the double-ratchet feature of our warrants ensures that we are more than compensated for dividends paid to common equity shareholders.
