ETF Analysis

Summary

The First Trust Preferred Securities and Income ETF offers a 6.40% yield, outperforming passive preferred stock ETFs over the past decade.

FPE's portfolio is heavily weighted toward traditional preferred securities, with limited exposure to convertible preferreds and significant banking sector concentration.

Rising inflation and substantial unrealized losses in the banking sector present real risks to FPE’s future real yield and capital stability.

Despite higher fees (0.83% expense ratio), FPE's active management has historically delivered superior risk-adjusted returns versus passive peers.
