John Hancock Preferred Income Fund remains rated as a hold due to premium valuation and suppressed earnings in a high-rate environment. HPI offers an 8.5% dividend yield but relies heavily on leverage and net realized gains to support distributions, increasing risk. The fund's concentration in financials and aggressive leverage amplify exposure to sector downturns and interest rate risk.
