Principal Investment StrategyUnder normal circumstances, the Trust will invest at least 80% of the value of its assets in preferred securities. The Sponsor has selected Flaherty & Crumrine Incorporated (“Flaherty”) to serve as the Trust’s portfolio consultant. The portfolio consultant is responsible for assisting the Sponsor with the selection of the Trust’s portfolio. The Trust may consist of a portfolio of exchange-listed preferred securities, which include traditional and hybrid preferred securities, and/or baby bonds selected from Flaherty’s proprietary preferred securities database and its internally generated credit research. The U.S.-listed preferred securities held by the Trust may include the preferred securities of U.S. and non-U.S. companies. The Trust may also invest in real estate investment trusts and master limited partnerships. In choosing the securities the primary factors include, but are not limited to, credit quality of the issuer and the liquidity and yield of the security as of the Trust’s initial date of deposit. Certain of the securities are rated below investment-grade and are considered to be high-yield or “junk” securities. High yield securities are considered to be primarily speculative with respect to the issuer’s ability to make principal and interest payments and may be more volatile than higher rated securities of similar maturity. Additionally, they are subject to greater market, credit and liquidity risks than investment-grade securities. As a result of this strategy, the Trust is concentrated in the financial sector. As of the date of deposit, this Trust will hold a significant amount of its assets in preferred securities, including traditional and hybrid preferred securities, of U.S. and non-U.S. companies. |
Selection CriteriaWith assistance from Flaherty, the Sponsor has selected preferred securities and/or baby bonds believed to have the best potential for current income with the potential for capital appreciation. The Sponsor believes that an investment in a portfolio of preferred securities and/or baby bonds offers investors an opportunity to receive many of the income flow advantages of bonds. The Trust is diversified across the listed preferred and/or baby bonds market, with attention paid to the credit quality of the issuer and the liquidity and yield of the security. As of the Trust’s initial date of deposit (the “Inception Date”), at least 50% of the securities included in the Trust are rated investment-grade quality by at least one nationally recognized statistical rating organization. See “Description of Ratings” in Part B of the prospectus for additional information regarding the ratings criteria. Preferred Stock. As of the Inception Date, 85.48% of the Trust consists of preferred stocks, including the preferred stocks of real estate investment trusts. Similar to bonds, preferred stocks offer a stated rate of return, paid in the form of a dividend, and are traded on the basis of their credit risk and yield. Dividend distributions of preferred stocks may be eligible for the dividends-received deduction for corporations and typically count as qualified dividend income for individual investors. Like common stock, preferred stocks usually are perpetual equity securities representing ownership in a company. Preferred stock ranks senior to common stock and preferred stockholders enjoy preference over common stockholders with regard to liquidations. Preferred stockholders may also forfeit or at least be limited in their voting rights. The preferred stocks included in the Trust, if applicable, are traded on the national stock exchanges. Hybrid Preferred Securities. As of the Inception Date, 14.01% of the Trust consists of hybrid preferred securities, including the preferred securities of master limited partnerships. Hybrid preferred securities possess varying combinations of features of both debt and traditional preferred securities. As such, they may constitute subordinated debt or preferred shares in an issuer’s capital structure. Certain hybrid preferred securities are typically issued by corporations, generally in the form of interest-bearing notes or preferred securities, or by an affiliated business Trust of a corporation, generally in the form of beneficial interests in subordinated debentures issued by the corporation. Unlike preferred stocks, distributions for hybrid preferred securities are generally treated as interest rather than dividends for federal income tax purposes and therefore are not eligible for the dividends-received deduction for corporations and typically do not count as qualified dividend income for individual investors. Baby Bonds. As of the Inception Date, 0.51% of the Trust consists of baby bonds. Baby bonds are generally long-term, fixed-income senior debt securities that are issued in small denominations. As with other types of bonds, baby bonds usually have a stated maturity that is at least 10 years after they are issued, and some are issued for as long as 50 years. When a baby bond reaches maturity, the issuing organization is required to repay the principal to the bondholder. The distributions from baby bonds are generally treated as interest for federal income tax purposes and therefore, are not eligible for the dividends-received deduction for corporations and do not count as qualified dividend income for individual investors. Flaherty & Crumrine Incorporated Flaherty & Crumrine Incorporated was formed in 1983 with the express intention of managing portfolios of preferred and debt securities for institutional investors. The firm has experience dating back to 1991 in managing preferred securities funds. Through its experience in the preferred and debt securities markets, Flaherty has developed the expertise necessary to implement the portfolio and interest rate management strategies necessary in seeking to obtain the highest sustainable income. In addition to receiving a portfolio consulting fee, the Trust pays Flaherty a licensing fee for the use of its intellectual property. |
