A preferred share ETF

This is one consideration, but he has his own preferred ETF within his company, so he doesn't use others. Check to see if the ETF's exposure and tax implication suits you.

TOP PICK

Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O’Reilly

We again reiterate this Canadian preferred share ETF as a TOP PICK. Preferred shares have generally been under pressure as interest rates have gone up. As interest rates stall and eventually turn lower to long term averages, this has significant upside potential. It has a low MER of 0.5% and an attractive yield. We continue to recommend a stop at $8.40, looking to achieve $10.75 – upside potential of 19%. Yield 6.0%

TOP PICK

Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O’Reilly A Canadian preferred share ETF that is laddered up to five years managed by BMO. This includes rate resets that benefit from rising interest rates. It has a low MER of 0.5% and an attractive yield. Preferred shares have generally been under pressure as interest rates have gone up, so this is a good entry point. We recommend setting a stop loss at $8.40, looking to achieve $10.75 – upside potential of 13%.

BUY

Has short duration preferred shares. Also has rate reset features. If you think we will see rising rates, which is a good assumption, then they will ratchet their rates up to keep up with rising interest rates. These are not government bonds, and there is some risk. However, with 4% dividend rates, there is an attraction there. If rates rise, it does participate and offset some inflation.

DON'T BUY

Pays a 4+% dividend. Preferreds are susceptible to changing in interest rates. This is a rate-reset, so even if interest rates rise, ZPR can reset its payout. Generally, he doesn't like preferreds, and would rather buy covered calls which pays a slightly higher return.

SELL ON STRENGTH

Doesn't see a whole lot of upside from here. Has had a good run and has been selling into the run. The next big move from the BoC will be a rate hike than a cut. With 5 year rates still low, the reset market is not a big challenge.

COMMENT

The ETFs are better to go because of diversification. There is a little more upside but not a whole lot more. There will not be increases in interest rates any time soon. Rates shouldn't go much lower either. The rates should remain stable.

COMMENT

We have recovered from a market perspective so it is natural that the ETF moves. Interest does not move as much and he believes the 5 years is anchored. He would not expect a big change in distributions for the time being. You will see some stability and creeping back.

DON'T BUY

It is a rate reset ETF of preferred shares. As interest rates have fallen to probably the lowest level, the yields are pretty good. He would prefer to sell calls against the banks, collecting the dividend along the way. He is not a fan of preferreds.

COMMENT

Preferred shares? This is indicative of high yield investments that act as equity when the market is under duress. ZPR is an example that is down 35% for the year. The global bailouts amount to $12 trillion and this is driving interest rates down to zero. Rate resets that use these long term rates to set the dividend will cause them to fall in value.

COMMENT

A lot of the preferreds have moved to reset preferreds. Preferreds are not as defensive as they were historically. They are not as low risk as people traditionally think.

COMMENT

Many people are looking for income. This pays a 6% yield. (See his top picks later.)

COMMENT

Good ETF. Interest rates going down affects it as many of the underlying are rate resets. He doesn't like preferreds that much in the sense that you get return of a bond with a risk of stocks. He prefers capital growth.
