PFD: Things Are Looking Up, But This Fund's Current Yield Is Low
The Flaherty & Crumrine Preferred Income Fund has a much lower yield than its peers, but its overall performance over the past year has been admirable. The PFD closed-end fund's distribution has increased three times in the past year, outpacing inflation, and is almost fully covered by net investment income. The fund has substantial exposure to the banking sector, but this does not appear to be a considerable risk with interest rates coming down.
