Our read on PFFR

ETF.net Research

CMost real estate ETFs buy the landlords' common stock. PFFR buys their preferred shares instead: an index of roughly 110 US-listed REIT preferreds, income-driven by design, paid out monthly.

Stated mandate

The Fund seeks to track, before fees and expenses, the price and yield performance of the Indxx REIT Preferred Stock Index.

Why people hold it

  1. 01A pure play on one narrow layer of the capital stack: normally at least 90% of assets in preferred securities issued by REITs and listed on US exchanges. Broad REIT funds skip this layer.
  2. 02Rules-based, not a manager's hunch. It tracks the Indxx REIT Preferred Stock Index, so what's inside follows a published methodology.
  3. 03Distributions arrive monthly, and the fund has been trading since 2017, so there's a real-world record behind it rather than a backtest.

Worth knowing

  1. 010.45% a year sits above the real estate cohort median of 0.37%, and plain REIT trackers like SCHH (0.07%) and VNQ (0.13%) cost a fraction of it.
  2. 02Thinly traded compared with mainstream real estate ETFs, so spreads and order type matter more here than with the household names.
  3. 03Preferreds act more like bonds than landlord equity: they rank above common stock but behind a REIT's lenders, and interest rates drive them as much as property values do.
