In short

JPRF No data

PFFD Preferred stock is a corner where fund fees usually run rich. PFFD turned up in 2017 charging 0.23% for a broad basket of U.S. preferreds, and it has paid monthly ever since. Cheap, plain-vanilla exposure to an income niche.

Stated mandate

JPRF No data

PFFD PFFD seeks to track the performance of the ICE BofA Diversified Core U.S. Preferred Securities Index before fees and expenses. It provides broad exposure to U.S. preferred stocks.

Why people hold it

JPRF No data

  • PFFD Charges 0.23% a year, which Global X notes is less than half the average fee among competing preferred funds.globalxetfs.com
  • Holds roughly 220 U.S. preferreds tracking the ICE BofA Diversified Core index. Benchmark-like exposure, not a manager's shortlist.globalxetfs.com
  • Pays distributions monthly, and has done so every year since its 2017 launch.globalxetfs.com
  • A multi-billion-dollar fund that trades actively, so entering and exiting is rarely the hard part.

Worth knowing

JPRF No data

  • PFFD Preferreds come mostly from banks and insurers, and the index has been concentrated in banking, so the ride tracks financial-sector health.globalxetfs.com
  • These securities behave more like long bonds than stocks: interest rate moves push prices around, as the fund's risk disclosures describe.globalxetfs.com
  • Monthly does not mean fixed. The payout size floats with what the portfolio collects.globalxetfs.com
