PIMCO Preferred and Capital Securities Active ETF (PRFD)

PRFD: Active Preferred Shares ETF From PIMCO

PIMCO Preferred And Capital Securities Active ETF focuses on preferred securities, actively managing duration and liquidity to maximize risk-adjusted returns. The fund is heavily weighted towards financials, with 70% in Tier 1 and Tier 2 securities, offering balanced investment grade and non-investment grade bonds. PRFD outperformed PFF in 2024 due to active duration management, but current yields are low at 5.65%, making it unattractive for new entries.
