PFFA: Preferred ETF With Over 9% Yield And Potential For Appreciation

The Virtus InfraCap U.S. Preferred Stock ETF is an exchange-traded fund that invests primarily in preferred securities issued by the U.S. of companies. The fund currently provides a very attractive yield of 9.09%, but it also uses considerable leverage. Since it is an exchange-traded fund, it trades very closely with the NAV (net asset value). PFFA has a rather short history of six years and has performed well in comparison with its peers. But it has provided consistent distributions since inception. Going forward, there are certain tailwinds that should help the preferred sector and this fund in general.
