The iShares Preferred and Income Securities ETF (PFF) primarily holds the component securities of its underlying index, allocating at least 80% of its assets to these holdings. The remaining portion of the portfolio, up to 20%, may be invested in derivatives such as futures, options, and swap contracts, as well as cash and cash equivalents. This structure allows the fund to closely track its benchmark while maintaining some flexibility for liquidity and risk management purposes.
As a preferred stock ETF, PFF invests in a class of securities that combine features of both stocks and bonds, typically offering fixed dividend payments and priority over common shareholders in the event of liquidation. Preferred securities are commonly issued by financial institutions, utilities, and real estate companies, and they generally appeal to income-oriented investors due to their higher dividend yields compared to common stocks.
