Preferred Securities Fund: A Game-Changing Opportunity

The Principal Preferred Securities Fund is a mutual fund made up largely of investment grade preferred securities, which may provide a unique opportunity, particularly during volatile markets when preferred securities may be considered a bargain.

Issuers of preferred securities largely include household-name banks, brokerage, industrial, media, insurance and public utility companies, and real estate investment trusts (REITs). While the performance of preferred securities has historically tracked more closely with the bond market than with equities or real estate. They can provide good diversification and an effective asset allocation tool for many fixed-income portfolios.

To capitalize on this timing with Preferred Securities, register on the Principal Funds Advisor Web site and gain access to the Principal Preferred Securities white paper: "The Case for Preferred Securities," as well as additional articles and business solutions.
