Frequently asked questions about PFF activity

  • Which institutional owners are buying PFF?

    Institutional owners buying PFF include investors who have either initiated new positions or increased their existing holdings based on recent SEC 13F filings. The activity table above highlights which funds added shares in the latest reporting periods and how their positions changed over time.

  • What does "buy" mean in PFF activity?

    "Buy" means an investor increased their reported position in PFF compared to the prior reporting period. This reflects growing exposure to ISHARES PREFERRED & INCOME S (PFF) rather than necessarily a brand-new position (though new positions also appear as buys when prior quantity was zero).

  • Is institutional interest in PFF increasing?
