VRP tracks the ICE Variable Rate Preferred & Hybrid Securities Index, offering a 5.33% yield at a 0.50% expense ratio. It has outperformed a lot of its peers, but in a generally low-interest-rate environment, other ETFs can offer equally good returns with better consistency and less risk. Also, VRP carries significant sector concentration risk, with nearly two-thirds of the funds in financials, and includes a lot of below-investment-grade preferred stocks.

VRP: The Value May Not Justify The Fees

I've been long on the Invesco Variable Rate Preferred ETF since 2022, and have increased my position in recent months in expectation of higher monthly distributions. VRP recently declared an October distribution of $0.1428, a sequential increase of 30%, and the highest so far in 2024. I see continued blue skies for VRP in the next half-year, on the basis of the reset structure, the ETF's duration, and Fed Funds expectations.

Despite anticipated interest rate cuts, VRP's preferred stock holdings may continue to reset at higher dividends until at least 2025. This means I will continue to rate VRP a Buy.
