Global X Variable Rate Preferred ETF offers higher yield and lower fees than Invesco's, with more risk from mortgage REITs.

The Global X Variable Rate Preferred ETF (PFFV) provides a higher yield of 7.2% SEC and 8.5% TTM with a lower expense ratio of 0.25%, compared to the Invesco Variable Rate Preferred ETF (VRP). VRP offers greater diversification with 365 holdings and higher portfolio quality, including 84% investment-grade issuers and less exposure to mortgage REIT preferred stocks. PFFV's higher yield is driven by a nearly 20% allocation to mortgage REIT preferreds, which introduces higher risk and potential price volatility. The author currently favors PFFV for its attractive yield and pricing, especially if interest rates peak and recession risks remain low.
