John Hancock Preferred Income Fund trades at 7% discount, offering 11.21% yield amid rare undervaluation.

The John Hancock Preferred Income Fund is currently trading at a rare 7% discount to its net asset value (NAV), compared to its historical premium of 4.38%. It offers an attractive dividend yield of 11.21% with a stable payout ratio of $1.32 per share. The fund's 1-year Z-score of -3.86 indicates it is extremely undervalued, presenting a compelling medium-term arbitrage opportunity for investors. However, risks include high leverage and sensitivity to interest rates, though historical trends suggest potential price recovery.
