Q: Hi Peter and Team,
Could you please give me your thoughts on preferred shares in general given the current interest rate environment and the pending rate hike by BOC in about a week's time. Please also provide some names of ETFs of preferred stocks in both Canadian and US denominations.
Cheers,
Harry

Q: I am considering purchasing a preferred ETF. Perhaps, one of CPD, ZPR, PPS or HPR. I notice that HPR has the lowest yield and highest MER but over the past 5 years it has done appreciable better; i.e., lost quite a bit less, than the other three. Is this attributable to its 'active' management or is there something different about its diversity of preferred shares?
