Back To The Well With Variable Rate Preferred Securities
Variable-rate preferreds like GS.PR.C and USB.PR.A now yield ~6% and trade near their coupon floors, discounting a future Fed rate-cutting cycle. These securities offer dual upside: limited downside if rates fall (due to coupon floors) and strong relative appreciation if rates unexpectedly rise. Trading history suggests current levels are attractive entry points, especially as a hedge against fixed-duration income exposure in uncertain rate environments.
