The Virtus InfraCap US Preferred Stock ETF (PFFA) is recommended as a buy, especially as a defensive investment ahead of a possible recession. It offers a high yield of around 10%, benefiting from preferred stocks' seniority and sector diversification, mainly in financials but with broad exposure to limit issuer risk. While recent performance has been weak due to rising interest rates, PFFA is expected to outperform during economic downturns when the Federal Reserve shifts its focus. Short-term underperformance may continue if rates rise further, but the ETF’s structure positions it well for recessionary periods.
