FPF: Discount Widening Creates An Attractive Entry

First Trust Intermediate Duration Preferred & Income Fund now trades at a double-digit discount amid rate-driven volatility, presenting a more attractive entry point. FPF's monthly payout and yield are appealing, but current distributions exceed net investment income, requiring realized gains or portfolio appreciation to sustain payouts. First Trust has a history of converting CEFs to ETFs or open-end funds, which could catalyze discount closure if enacted for FPF as a speculative potential catalyst.
