Our read on SPFF
CMost preferred funds buy the whole market. SPFF shops at the top of the yield table: roughly 50 of the highest-yielding US preferreds, tracked by index rule and paid out monthly since 2012.
The Fund seeks investment results that generally correspond to the price and yield performance of the Global X U.S. High Yield Preferred Index, before fees and expenses.
Why people hold it
- Income density is the design: the index ranks US preferred securities by yield and holds about 50 from the top, rather than spreading thin across the entire preferred market.globalxetfs.com
- Pays monthly, and has done so since the 2012 launch. That is a long, unbroken cadence for an income sleeve.globalxetfs.com
- Preferred payouts can be treated as qualified dividend income rather than ordinary interest, a tax wrinkle most bond funds cannot offer.globalxetfs.com
- The 0.48% fee sits near the middle of the preferred ETF pack. Not the discount aisle, not a premium either.
Worth knowing
- About 50 positions means every name carries real weight. Broad preferred funds spread the same risk across hundreds of issues.globalxetfs.com
- Buying the highest-yielding preferreds means owning the paper the market prices most cautiously, and price swings have run hotter than the calmer end of the peer group.
- Cheaper builds exist in the same cohort (PFFV at 0.25%, EVPF at 0.20%), and SPFF's mid-size asset base and moderate volume mean spreads deserve a look on bigger orders.
