LDP: Preferred Stocks, If You Want Them
LDP offers a 7.53% yield, higher than the preferred index. It also beats most of its peers in total return, despite a lower headline yield and conservative management. The fund's lower leverage and conservative strategy have resulted in less downside during rising rates, making it attractive for risk-averse investors. LDP trades at a 5% discount to NAV, which is narrower than its historical average but still reasonable compared to peers.

LDP: A Declining Dollar Creates Risk For Preferred Stocks
The Cohen & Steers Limited Duration Preferred and Income Fund offers a 7.85% yield, higher than domestic fixed-income indices but lower than similar closed-end funds due to lower leverage. Despite a recent 2.82% share price decline, the fund outperformed the preferred stock index, showcasing effective management and strategy. U.S. preferred stock has become less attractive to foreign investors over the past few months, and rate cuts by the Fed could make this problem worse.

LDP: Performance Is Interesting, But There Could Still Be Risks
