The Flaherty & Crumrine Preferred Securities Income Fund ( FFC ) is a closed-end fund that is fairly popular with investors who are actively seeking to earn a high level of income off of the assets that they possess in their portfolios. However, this fund only has a 6.82% yield at the current share price, which is not particularly attractive when compared to fixed-income indices. We can see that in this chart:
