FPF: Preferred Stocks Also Have A U.S. Dollar Problem
First Trust Intermediate Duration Preferred & Income Fund offers a high 9.1% yield, outperforming most fixed-income peers, making it attractive for income-focused investors seeking strong current income. The FPF fund faces risks from U.S. dollar depreciation, which erodes the real value of distributions and weakens the case for long-term fixed-income holdings. FPF's partial exposure to foreign issuers could help offset dollar weakness, but the exact benefit is unclear due to limited disclosure on currency denomination.

FPF: Improving Diversification, But Wait For A Better Entry Point
The First Trust Intermediate Duration Preferred & Income Fund offers a high yield of 8.92%, superior to most index funds and many peers. Preferred stock dividends are taxed more favorably than bond interest, making the fund attractive for income-focused investors concerned with taxes. The fund fully covered its distributions in the most recent year, but it had to rely on its unrealized capital gains to do so.
