Global X Debuts New Preferreds, Catholic Values ETFs

Brenton GarenJun 24, 2020
2020-06-24

Global X ETFs expanded its preferred stock and Catholic values offerings today with the launch of two new ETFs.

The Global X Variable Rate Preferred ETF (PFFV) and the Global X Catholic Values Developed ex-U.S. ETF (CEFA) will grow the investment solutions available to investors in existing suites of Global X ETFs.

Alex Ashby, head of product development at Global X ETFs, said they were thrilled to see the strong reception to its existing preferred stock and Catholic values ETFs and are excited to introduce PFFV and CEFA to further develop those fund suites.

“At Global X, we strive to continually provide investors with a range of tools that can help them efficiently attain their investment goals, whether that is diversifying one’s sources of income or aligning one’s investments with their personal beliefs.”

Through PFFV, investors can efficiently access the traditionally shorter-duration variable rate segment of the preferred stock space. Variable rate preferreds can include securities that offer fixed-to-floating rate coupons or those that offer floating rate coupons for the entire life of the issuance. By allocating to securities with variable coupon payments, investors may utilize PFFV to lower the duration, or interest rate risk, of their portfolios, while potentially achieving the higher yields typically associated with the preferred stock asset class. PFFV comes with an expense ratio of 0.25%, which is half the industry average.

CEFA expands Global X’s offering of Catholic-aligned investments alongside the existing S&P 500 Catholic Values ETF (CATH ). Both funds track S&P indexes and are constructed in accordance with the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) investment guidelines, allowing investors to align their investments with their religious beliefs. CEFA aims to closely mirror broad international equity markets, but with screens to remove companies involved in activities that do not adhere to the USCCB’s guidelines. CEFA comes with an expense ratio of 0.35%.

Global X’s suite of preferred stock ETFs has more than $900m in assets under management, as of June 18, 2020, spread between the low cost U.S. Preferred ETF (PFFD) and the high yielding SuperIncome™ Preferred ETF (SPFF B-). Joining this suite, PFFV will track the ICE U.S. Variable Rate Preferred Securities Index. CEFA joins the S&P 500 Catholic Values ETF (CATH) as the firm’s two religious values-focused ETFs. CEFA will track the S&P Developed ex-U.S. Catholic Values Index.
