- The Federal Reserve has made it incredibly difficult to earn income off of your savings with its current low-interest rate policy.
- HPI invests in preferred stock and other fixed-income securities, which are generally less risky than common stocks.
- The fund is able to effectively boast a better yield than ETF offerings because it can use leverage, although it appears to be doing this responsibly.
- The distribution coverage was pretty light in the early stages of 2020, so the fund had to cut but the current payout appears reasonably sustainable.
- The fund trades at a slight discount, which is nice.
