Global X US Preferred ETF

PFFD

Börsenwert 1,98 Mrd. $

The Global X US Preferred ETF appears to be a duration bet, appearing also to be unmitigated in that way by much constituent floating-rate debt, sampling top holdings. Rising benchmark rates associated with persistent inflation from geopolitical tensions and AI datacenter spending create a challenging macro backdrop for PFFD's fixed income profile.

The Global X U.S. Preferred ETF continues its downtrend in asset value and distributions. The ETF offers a low expense ratio among peers but lags in total return, risk-adjusted performance, and dividend growth. I maintain a "Sell" rating on PFFD, suggesting VRP and PFXF as more attractive alternatives for preferred stock exposure.
