Yield of the ETF is higher than the components of the underlying stocks. They split the stock into preferred and equity. They sell options out of the equity version. A lot of investors don't know that there is leveraging that can hurt the price, and a high yield comes with risk.

DON'T BUY
You get a magnification of performance both on the upside and the downside. So much easier to just buy the individual holdings, collect the dividend, get the capital appreciation, and not pay a fee. Why buy this manufactured security when you can buy the real thing? Doesn't trade well, and you're locked in.

WEAK BUY
These companies are hybrids created by the big brokerages and owned by banks like Woody Gundy. They enhance yield by splitting off the growth portion of a stock from the yield-paying portion. Usually, this works, but you're giving up growth opportunities. Fees are involved, though. He doesn't own these derivatives. Not a bad idea for a retail investor looking to increase income.
