Preferreds offer attractive post-tax yields and favorable tax treatment compared to corporate bonds, making them appealing income assets for investors. Active ETFs like FPE and FPEI, and select CEFs such as PFO and FFC, have outperformed passive ETFs, which struggle with high fees and index-related inefficiencies. Individual preferreds allow for targeted interest rate exposure, relative value opportunities, and avoidance of fund management fees.
