(PFLD) AAM Low Duration Preferred - Ratings and Ratios
Preferred, Hybrid, Short-Term, Dollar-Denominated, Exchange-Listed
Description: PFLD AAM Low Duration Preferred October 24, 2025
The AAM Low Duration Preferred and Income Securities ETF (NYSE ARCA: PFLD) tracks an index of U.S. dollar-denominated preferred and hybrid securities listed on the NYSE or NASDAQ Capital Market that have an option-adjusted duration under five years. In practice, the fund aims to allocate at least 80 % of its net assets-plus any investment-purpose borrowings-into these preferred-stock and income-generating instruments.
Key quantitative points (as of Q3 2024, based on publicly available fund data) include a weighted-average yield of roughly 5.2 %, an average option-adjusted duration of 3.8 years, and a credit-quality composition that is about 70 % investment-grade (rated BBB- or higher). The ETF’s performance is especially sensitive to Federal Reserve policy moves, as changes in short-term rates directly affect the pricing of low-duration preferred securities, while widening credit spreads can compress yields on higher-rated holdings.
Sector exposure is tilted toward financials-particularly regional banks and insurance companies-since many of their preferred issues dominate the U.S. preferred-stock market. Consequently, the fund’s returns tend to track the health of the banking sector and the broader credit cycle.
