How We Do It
Infrastructure Capital Advisors has partnered with Virtus ETF Solutions to launch the first exchange traded fund (NYSE: PFFA) that specifically targets dividend-yielding preferred securities and strives to enhance yield, performance and stability through an options strategy on approximately 20% of the portfolio.
*There is no assurance that the ETF's objective will achieved or maintainedSecurities Selection Process
We screen the preferred stock index and eliminate those stocks priced above their assessed value known as their net asset value.
We then select what we believe are the 100 strongest stocks based on our systematic valuation methodology. This comprises at least 80% of the portfolio. We then add a modest amount of leverage, typically 20%.
Added at anywhere from 0 to 20% of the portfolio is an options strategy. This is an income seeking strategy similarly employed by institutions, and is now available within this ETF structure. Here we write options on common stocks where preferred shares are available, but not meeting our selection criteria. This also acts as a hedge against interest rate movements.
