The VanEck Preferred Securities ex Financials ETF has 64.7% of its portfolio allocated to long-duration preferred securities. The new U.S. administration is focused on cutting the budget deficit to around 3.00-3.50% of GDP, allowing for a stabilization in the debt/GDP ratio. Together with future Fed rate cuts, this should allow risk-free interest rates to decline.
