PFF: Attractive Yield But High Industry Concentration

iShares Preferred and Income Securities ETF offers an attractive yield but is highly concentrated in the financial sector, increasing volatility risk. PFF's portfolio is diversified by issuer, but 68% exposure to financials makes it vulnerable to sector-specific shocks and interest rate volatility. PFF's yield is reasonable versus high-yield and investment-grade bonds, but its valuation is not compelling enough to warrant a Buy rating.

PFF: A Bad Choice Among Preferreds, And Not Just Among Them

This is a sector that deserves active management: PFF doesn't offer that, which in my view makes it less competitive than solutions like PFFA. The returns speak for themselves: if you're selecting preferreds for yield, let's not forget they're equity-like, so why not just look at high yield? If one assumes that the callable feature provides a hedge against rising rates, performance doesn't confirm it. For hedging, there are purpose-built instruments like RISR.
