PFXF: Under The Radar Beneficiary Of U.S. Cost Cutting
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.

Low-volatility, dividend growth stocks offer long-term outperformance and a favorable risk profile, despite lower yields during bull markets. Dividend growth portfolios can significantly increase yields over time, making them a strong choice for retirement-focused investors. The 4% rule remains a valid strategy for retirement, but adjustments may be needed due to increasing life expectancies.
