Description: PFFA Virtus InfraCap U.S.

The Virtus InfraCap U.S. Preferred Stock ETF (PFFA) is an actively managed exchange-traded fund that invests primarily in U.S. preferred securities. Under its core policy, the fund commits at least 80% of its net assets to U.S. preferred stock and derivatives or instruments with similar economic characteristics. The Sub-Adviser selects holdings based on a combination of quantitative metrics, qualitative assessments, and relative valuation analysis, rather than tracking a passive index.

Unlike most preferred stock ETFs, which tend to be passively managed, PFFA pursues an active investment strategy and operates as a non-diversified fund, meaning it may concentrate holdings in fewer issuers. Preferred stock itself is a hybrid security that typically pays fixed or floating dividends and ranks above common equity in the capital structure, which generally results in higher income distributions for shareholders.

Headlines to Watch Out For
  • Fed interest rate cuts pressure preferred stock prices
  • Bank sector preferred issuance faces regulatory capital scrutiny
  • Active management drives premium or discount to NAV
