Preferred stocks offer high dividend yields, up to 9.9%, and are currently available at discounts, with some priced at 89 cents on the dollar. Unlike common stocks, preferreds provide fixed dividends and lack voting rights, making them hybrid investments. Closed-end funds (CEFs) are highlighted as superior options for investing in preferreds due to their potential for higher yields and discounts. Examples include the John Hancock Premium Dividend Fund (PDT) and Cohen & Steers Tax-Advantaged Preferred Securities and Income Fund (PTA), both offering attractive returns and tax advantages.

The John Hancock Financial Opportunities Fund (BTO) offers a 7.7% dividend, presenting a contrarian buy opportunity amid current market volatility due to the Iran War. The finance sector has been disproportionately affected, but historical trends suggest a potential rebound. BTO has shown resilience, trading at a discount to its net asset value, and is well-positioned to benefit from increased commodities trading revenue and potential airline fuel hedging demand. The fund primarily invests in regional banks, which may thrive as market conditions improve.
