Virtus InfraCap US Preferred Stock ETF (PFFA) has fallen 9.4% since August due to rising interest rates and heavy exposure to the financial sector. Despite this, the ETF offers a high yield of 10.90% and diversification benefits, which support a 'buy' rating. PFFA uses significant leverage, with borrowings at 28.4% of net assets, making it sensitive to rate hikes and compressing returns.
