Q: What is your opinion on preferred share ETFs for income? Are there any that you would recommend? Cdn., U.S. or International.

Asked by Ivars on April 28, 2026

5i Research Answer:

We like preferred share ETFs for enhanced yield. They offer a quick and diversified exposure to the space and rovide a relatively secure income stream. It is more volatile and higher risk than fixed income but as a part of a 'fixed income' portfolio we think it can make sense. We would consider CPD or ZPR.
