Virtus Investment Partners affiliate Virtus ETF Solutions has partnered with Infrastructure Capital Advisors to launch the Virtus InfraCap US Preferred Stock ETF.

These stocks have started trading under the ticker ‘PFFA’ on NYSE Arca.

The fund will invest in a portfolio comprising more than 100 preferred securities issued by US companies.

“We are excited to offer PFFA because the nuances of preferred stock investing demands active management, which we can provide in an ETF form,” Hatfield said. “Investors can benefit from active management in this sector, as the call features of preferred stock often require portfolio managers to avoid capital losses on mandatory calls.”
