Q: Thoughts during the current market cycle?
Asked by Joe on January 16, 2025
5i Research Answer:

After multi-year underperformance, preferred shares have finally started to act better. CPD's on-year return is 21.85%. As rates move lower and concerns continue on the economy, we would expect the sector to do well, though we might not expect the same type of returns going forward. With an indicated yield of 5.16%, we would be comfortable owning this as a lower-risk security in a volatile market.
