Preferred Securities

Preferred stock — hybrid securities that sit between common equity and senior debt in the capital structure. Yields are typically higher than investment-grade corporates but the securities are deeply subordinated and concentrated in financials. Distributions are a mix of qualified dividends and ordinary income; tax efficiency lands between equity and bonds.
