Portfolio of Preferred Stocks

A preferred stock trades like a stock but offers income like a bond. Preferreds are attractive because their yields are usually higher than corporate bonds of similar credit ratings. Like bonds, preferred stocks usually trade in a narrow price range, but they can experience significant prices declines.

You can find information about specific preferred stocks at QuatumOnline, a free site. Or check with your broker.

In addition to individual preferred stocks, you can invest in closed-end funds and exchange-traded fund that feature preferred stocks.
