AAM Low Duration Preferred & Income Securities ETF Eclipses $500 Million AUM Milestone

MONUMENT, Colo., Feb. 19, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Advisors Asset Management (AAM), a leading investment solutions provider, announced today that its AAM Low Duration Preferred & Income Securities ETF (NYSE: PFLD) has surpassed $500 million in assets under management (AUM).

PFLD, the industry's only low duration preferred exchange traded fund (ETF), targets preferred securities that have historically offered higher yields than similarly rated bonds thus providing a solution to diversify income streams. Low-duration preferred securities offer the potential for strong monthly income while helping to manage interest rate and other investment risks.

"This milestone is a testament to PFLD's unique positioning and its ability to help financial professionals achieve their financial goals," said Lance McGray, Managing Director and Head of ETF Product at AAM. "Amid concerns related to interest rates and inflation, low duration preferreds provide a combination of high tax-efficient income and minimal interest rate risk. This combination of yield, stability, and lower duration exposure can be a valuable tool for income-focused investors in an uncertain rate environment."

Launched in 2019, PFLD seeks to generate attractive monthly income, increase portfolio diversification, and reduce the impact of interest rate changes by tracking the total return performance of the ICE 0-5 Year Duration Exchange-Listed Preferred & Hybrid Securities Index (PHLD).

"We take great pride in PFLD, a first-of-its-kind ETF, achieving this milestone as it reflects investors' demand for an intelligent approach to investing in the preferred stock market. We remain committed to our shareholders and look forward to pioneering new opportunities in the ETF space," added McGray.

Investing involves risk; Principal loss is possible.

The value of a company's preferred stock will react more strongly than bonds and other debt to actual or perceived changes in the company's financial condition Preferred stock is subject to the risks that a company may defer or not pay dividends, and, in certain situations, may call or redeem its preferred stock or convert it to common stock. During periods of falling interest rates, an issuer of a callable security held by the Fund may "call" or repay the security before its stated maturity, and the Fund may have to reinvest the proceeds at lower interest rates. Investments in small and mid-cap companies may involve less liquidity and greater volatility than larger companies.
