Understanding Preferred Equity

Preferred equity serves as a financing tool that falls between debt and common equity in the capital stack, offering a balance of risk and return for investors. It is typically paid before common equity but after traditional debt, which makes it less risky than common equity but with potentially higher returns than standard debt. Despite the general assumption that lower risk equates to lower returns, preferred equity has recently yielded higher returns than common equity in certain markets, making it an attractive option for investors looking for stability with decent upside. This hybrid nature allows investors to position themselves in a way that offers protection against losses while still capitalizing on favorable market conditions.
