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 be achieved or maintained.Securities Selection Process
We screen the preferred stock index and eliminate those stocks priced above an assessed value known as their net asset value.
Then, based on our systematic valuation methodology, we select what we believe are the 100 strongest stocks. This comprises at least 80% of the portfolio. We then add a modest amount of leverage—typically 20%.
We then add an option strategy—anywhere from 0 to 20% of the portfolio. This is an income-seeing 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 don’t meet our selection criteria. This also acts as a hedge against interest rate movements.
