PFF Vs. HYG: Preferreds Stand To Gain More Than High-Yield At This Juncture

iShares Preferred and Income Securities ETF (PFF) is favored over iShares High Yield Corporate Bond ETF (HYG) as the Fed has entered an easing cycle. PFF offers higher yield, better credit quality, and lower fees than HYG, with recent outperformance driven by expectations of falling rates and economic uncertainty. PFF's sector concentration in financials and lower diversification present risks, but Fed stress tests show banks are well-capitalized for downturns.

HYG: Is It Still The Best High-Yield Option?

The iShares iBoxx High Yield Corporate Bond ETF offers strong diversification, low equity correlation, and a 2.89-year duration, limiting interest rate sensitivity. Spreads are currently compressed, with no signs of excessive risk-taking or clear asymmetric recovery opportunities in the credit market. Liquidity and high-yield spreads historically signal stress; current indicators do not suggest an imminent buying opportunity for HYG.

When Market Pain Means Income Investor Gain

The current environment is uniquely challenging, with uncertainty persisting and no clear catalyst for a recovery. Growth is richly priced, and, in my view, an unattractive space. This makes value and income investor areas relatively more interesting.
