Retirement Yield Trap Or Treasure? 1 Stock To Sell, 1 To Buy

PFFA: Preferred Shares Aren't Always Safe - Key Reasons To Sell
I rate PFFA a sell despite its high yield and peer outperformance, as I see limited opportunity and elevated risks at current levels. PFFA's 2024 distributions weren't covered by cash flow, relying on leverage and realized gains—unsustainable if market conditions worsen. Leverage amplifies both returns and losses, making PFFA especially vulnerable during market panics and contributing to long-term NAV erosion.

The ETF invests primarily in preferred shares, which are generally lower risk than common stocks and provide more stable, fixed payouts. PFFA's portfolio is diversified across several sectors, but has significant exposure to financials and real estate, which could pose risks in sector downturns.

Typically, investors put a focus on high-yield securities if the goal is to live off from portfolio income streams.
