(QPFF) American Century Trust - Ratings and Ratios

The American Century Quality Preferred ETF (BATS: QPFF) is an exchange-traded fund designed to provide exposure to preferred securities issued by U.S. and non-U.S. companies. Under normal market conditions, the fund invests at least 80% of its net assets, plus borrowings for investment purposes, in preferred securities. These securities include preferred stock, hybrid preferred securities, floating rate preferred securities, junior subordinated debt, senior unsecured debt obligations in $25 par amounts, re-packaged preferreds, and convertible securities. The fund is non-diversified, meaning it may concentrate its investments in a limited number of securities or industries. The portfolio managers employ a research-intensive approach to identify high-quality issuers with strong financial profiles and attractive yields. The funds investment strategy focuses on maximizing income while maintaining a focus on credit quality and capital preservation. Preferred securities typically offer higher yields than common stock but rank senior to common stock in the event of liquidation, providing a unique risk-return profile for investors seeking income and stability.
