Navigate Rate Shifts with Preferred Stocks & Fixed Income

Navigate Rate Shifts with Preferred Stocks & Fixed Income

With inflation cooling and additional rate cuts potentially on the horizon, investors who have been benefiting from higher yields may need to explore new strategies to sustain their yield potential.[1]

Preferreds

Preferred securities offer an alternative for income-seeking investors while potentially benefiting from a decrease in interest rates. In addition, their high yields and below average duration risk compared to traditional long-term bonds should position them well for the long term.

Short-Term Treasury Bills

Access to the front end of the treasury curve through an ETF wrapper can be an ideal solution for both strategic and tactical allocation purposes, presenting an appealing investment opportunity as a cash and risk management solution.

Treasury Ladders

Employing a Treasury Ladder strategy across various maturity ranges may help reduce the impact of interest rate volatility and mitigate reinvestment risk, providing strategic flexibility across the Treasury yield curve.

Investing involves risk, including the possible loss of principal.

Preferred stock is subject to many of the risks associated with debt securities, including interest rate risk. In addition, preferred stock may not pay a dividend, an issuer may suspend payment of dividends on preferred stock at any time, and in certain situations, an issuer may call or redeem its preferred stock or convert it to common stock. High yielding stocks are often speculative, high-risk investments. These companies can be paying out more than they can support and may reduce their dividends or stop paying dividends at any time.

Variable and Floating Rate Securities may have limits on the maximum increases in coupon rates and may lag behind changes in market rates. A downward adjustment in coupon rates may decrease PFFV’s income as a result of its investment in variable or floating rate securities.
