Quality, Coupon and QDI

Often, decisions about which income investments to buy come down to balancing the amount of credit risk that we might be willing to accept as an investor, against the expected yield or stream of coupons from an investment.

Historically, preferred securities have scored well on both fronts, credit quality and coupons. But certain preferred securities may have yet another potential source of value, called Qualified Dividend Income treatment or “QDI”.
