If you are looking for great stock yields from reputable names, look no further than preferreds. While the stocks are facing headwinds from rate rises, check this out: KKR, leading private equity firm, has been issuing preferred securities with 6.5% yields that have to pay out to holders before they do to common shareholders. This is not an isolated case, the average yield of investment grade preferred shares is 5.8%. This is contrasted to 4% for corporate bonds and 4.4% for municipals.


FINSUM: Preferreds are an old but niche asset class. They are safer than common stock, but less secure than bonds. Interesting to take a look at as they could fill a nice niche in many portfolios.
