(PFFV) Global X Variable Rate - Ratings and Ratios
Variable Rate Preferred Securities, ADRs, GDRs
Description: PFFV Global X Variable Rate October 27, 2025
The Global X Variable Rate Preferred ETF (PFFV) commits at least 80 % of its assets-plus any borrowing-to securities that mirror the underlying index, including U.S.-listed variable-rate preferred shares and their ADR/GDR equivalents. The index aims to capture the broad performance of the U.S. variable-rate preferred market, but it is classified as non-diversified, meaning concentration risk is a material consideration.
Key market drivers for this sector include the Federal Reserve’s policy rate, which directly influences the coupon resets on variable-rate preferreds; as of October 2025, the average 7-day OIS rate sits near 5.3 %, supporting yields that typically range from 4.5 % to 6.0 % on these securities. Credit quality is another KPI: the aggregate Bloomberg-derived BBB-rated share of the index is roughly 55 %, indicating moderate credit risk relative to the broader preferred market.
Investors should monitor two risk dimensions: (1) leverage risk-any borrowing amplifies both returns and losses, and (2) sector concentration-since the index is not diversified, performance can be heavily swayed by a handful of issuers, especially large financial institutions that dominate the variable-rate preferred space.
