Description: PFF Preferred Income Securities January 03, 2026
The iShares Preferred and Income Securities ETF (NASDAQ:PFF) is a U.S.-based ETF that tracks a preferred-stock index. By mandate, it must hold at least 80% of its net assets in the index’s component securities, while the remaining 20% may be allocated to futures, options, swaps, cash, or cash equivalents to manage liquidity and exposure.
Key metrics as of the latest filing: an expense ratio of 0.46%, a 30-day SEC-yield around 5.2%, and an average portfolio duration of roughly 5 years, making the fund moderately sensitive to interest-rate moves. The ETF’s top sector weights are financials (≈55%) and utilities (≈20%), reflecting the concentration of preferred issues in rate-sensitive industries. A rise in the Federal Funds Rate typically compresses preferred-stock spreads, which can pressure PFF’s price performance.
