JPC's Leverage Strategy Could Supercharge Your Returns (Or Sink Them)
JPC offers a high yield of around 10% by investing in a diversified portfolio of investment grade and high yield preferred shares with moderate leverage. The fund's strategy may be impacted by potential rate cuts as a result of its exposure to floating rate, fixed-to-float, and fixed-rate reset preferred shares. JPC outperforms peers like PFF over time, but comes with higher fees and larger drawdowns during market stress, requiring careful risk assessment.

Beware, JPC Is Not Earning Its Income
The Nuveen Preferred & Income Opportunities Fund has shown strong historical returns, but currently faces risks due to its NAV discount evaporating. JPC's high yield is attractive, but the fund is not earning its dividend, relying on return-of-capital, which is unsustainable long term.

JPC Review And What Lies Behind The 10% Distribution Yield
JPC's 10% distribution rate is unsustainable: The fund's portfolio yields around 7%, leading to NAV decay as distributions exceed returns. High-risk CoCos exposure: One-third of JPC's portfolio is in high-risk contingent convertibles, raising concerns about potential losses in distressed times. Historical NAV decay: JPC has consistently distributed more than its portfolio returns, resulting in a 2-2.5% annual NAV decay over the past decade.
