In today’s market environment, finding yield has become increasingly problematic for investors. This can be especially true for those in—or nearing—retirement. For these investors, one good option may be preferred stocks.

While you’ve probably heard of common stock, many investors are new to the world of preferred stocks. Often referred to as hybrid investments because of their likeness to common stock and bonds, preferred stocks have the potential for high yields with stable dividend payments—two common traits sought out by retirees. Preferred stocks are even used by the likes of Warren Buffet.

It is important to keep in mind that investments in fixed income products are subject to liquidity (or market) risk, interest rate risk (bonds ordinarily decline in price when interest rates rise and rise in price when interest rates fall), financial (or credit) risk, inflation (or purchasing power) risk and special tax liabilities. Interest may be subject to the alternative minimum tax. Treasury securities are backed by full faith and credit of the U. S. Government but are subject to inflation risk.

Investments in non-traded Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) are subject to significant risks. These risks include, but are not limited to limited operating histories, reliance on the advisors, conflicts of interests, payment of substantial fees to the advisors and their affiliates, and illiquidity. If you are able to redeem shares, they will generally be redeemed for less than the original amount invested. Investing in these products may not be suitable for all investors. This material should not be considered a solicitation of an offer to sell/buy any specific security or offering. Investors should consult a financial professional to determine whether risks associated with an investment in the shares are compatible with their investment objectives.

You should carefully consider the investment objectives, risks, charges, and expenses of a non-traded REIT before investing. The prospectus, which contains this and other important information, can be obtained from your financial advisor. You should read it carefully before investing or sending money.
