About DPICX

Destra Flaherty & Crumrine Preferred and Income Fund Class C is an open-ended mutual fund that primarily targets the U.S. preferred and income-producing securities market. Designed to seek total return with a strong focus on high current income, the fund typically invests at least 80% of its net assets in a curated mix of preferred securities—including traditional and trust preferred shares, hybrid and convertible securities, contingent-capital instruments, as well as subordinated and senior debt. A hallmark of this fund is its active management by Flaherty & Crumrine, one of the longest-standing preferred securities managers in the industry, leveraging proprietary research and extensive experience to identify value opportunities in a nuanced, sometimes inefficient market. The fund's portfolio may also hold up to 15% in common stocks and tends to maintain significant exposure to the financial services sector. Investments span both investment grade and certain below-investment-grade securities, adapting to market conditions while aiming to balance risk and yield. This fund plays a specialized role in providing diversified access to the preferred securities space for income-oriented investors within the broader fixed income and hybrid asset universe.
