Upcoming Webinar -
What You Don't Own in Preferreds Matters
October 20, 2026
2:00PM US ET
Most preferred securities strategies are built around what to include. The ex-financials approach is built around what to exclude - and the results speak for themselves. Removing bank and other financial issuers from a preferred allocation has historically raised yield, improved diversification, and reduced rate sensitivity. Join us for a practical look at how the exclusion of financials has benefited preferred investors and why the case for this approach is particularly compelling today.
- Why the broad preferred market's concentration in banks and other financial issuers creates risk that most investors underestimate
- How excluding financial issuers has historically delivered more yield and more diversification, not less
- What the current rate and credit environment means for preferred securities investors heading into year-end
