Q: Hello Peter.

I am a income investor with a high concentration in blue chip preferred shares...both reset and perpetual. The later being the larger holding. In theory, when interest rates move the two asset classes...Reset/Perpetual should move in opposite directions. This is not the case. In fact I see them moving in tandem.
I'm looking for an alternative to hedge out my income portfolio. I was thinking an inverse long bond ETF (HTD) might be a good investment to protect my overall balance should there be another rate scare like we saw in January.
Your thoughts?
