PFD: Banking Sector Exposure Could Be A Risk For This Preferred Stock Fund

The Flaherty & Crumrine Preferred and Income Fund offers an 8.03% yield, with a portfolio heavily concentrated in preferreds and contingent capital securities. PFD's banking sector exposure exceeds 50%, raising risk as rising bond yields drive unrealized losses and pressure preferred prices. Recent performance has lagged the preferred index, with a 10.4% share price decline and distributions insufficient to offset losses over the period.

PFD: The Risks Here Could Be Greater Than Believed

The Flaherty & Crumrine Preferred and Income Fund underperforms peers in yield and total return, despite outperforming the preferred stock index. PFD's current 6.88% yield trails comparable closed-end funds, making it less attractive for income-focused investors seeking higher payouts. The fund trades at a 7.50% discount to NAV, its cheapest level among peers and below its five-year average, but this does not offset its lower yield.
