Description: PFFD U.S. Preferred

The Global X U.S. Preferred ETF (PFFD) is an exchange-traded fund that seeks to track the broad-based performance of the U.S. preferred securities market by investing at least 80% of its total assets in the securities of its underlying index. To maintain its U.S. focus, the fund allocates at least 80% of its assets to preferred securities domiciled in, principally traded in, or primarily generating revenues from the United States.

As a preferred stock ETF listed on the NYSE since its inception on September 11, 2017, PFFD offers investors targeted exposure to a niche segment of the U.S. fixed income and equity markets. Preferred securities typically combine features of both stocks and bonds, offering fixed or floating dividends with priority over common shareholders in dividend payments and asset claims, making them a distinct income-oriented asset class.

Headlines to Watch Out For
  • Fed rate cuts narrow preferred yield advantage over Treasuries
  • Bank credit quality concerns widen preferred spreads sharply
  • Financial sector dominance drives preferred issuance and pricing dynamics
