The Invesco Preferred ETF contains preferred shares primarily issued by financial companies and behaves similarly to long-duration junior bonds. We think that short-term news that pushes out rate cuts could weigh on performance. We also continue to worry about deglobalisation, whose effects crop up in new ways to create inflationary long-term pressures that matter for PGX constituents.

Invesco Preferred ETF is popular with income-oriented investors due to its 6.5% yield, but it may not be ideal for long-term cash parking. The fund holds preferred stocks from big banks and other income-generating names, many of which are trading at a discount to their par value. PGX's high expense ratio eats into its dividend payments, leading to annual dividend cuts and a drop in income over time.

Invesco Preferred ETF is mainly a financial ETF exposed to preferred shares, with a dominant exposure to the banking sector. The condition of national banks is pretty good in the U.S., especially as they absorb deposits from regional banks with relatively better ability to offer attractive rates. While short-term interest rates may be settling down, long-term rates are a concern for preferred investors, as changes in these rates can significantly impact the value of preferred shares.

The Invesco Preferred ETF offers a steady stream of income with potential for capital appreciation through fixed-rate US dollar-denominated preferred securities. PGX's portfolio is concentrated in the financial and utilities sectors, with holdings from reputable institutions such as JPMorgan Chase and Wells Fargo. While PGX has consistently delivered dividends, its performance has been underwhelming compared to peers, and there are risks associated with investing in the fund.
