Insights by Jerry Dorost, CFA
Understanding quality, ratings and long-term compensation of preferred securities
Preferreds provide attractive income and total returns from high-quality securities; despite added risks, default rates can be lower than credit ratings suggest.
Yields, regulations reinforce a positive preferred securities outlook
We see scope for good relative performance, given appealing valuations and structures that can benefit from high interest rates. Solid issuer fundamentals today and tighter bank regulations to come may provide a credit tailwind.
