PFD: Discounted Valuation Due To High Leverage

PFD offers attractive income with a 6.7% yield and monthly distributions, but its dividend history is inconsistent and payouts have been reduced over time. The fund's heavy use of leverage and focus on preferred securities make it highly sensitive to the current high interest rate environment, suppressing its valuation. PFD trades at a notable 9.2% discount to NAV, which could present an accumulation opportunity if interest rates decline and earnings improve.

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.
