If I Were To Retire Today, This Is The 6-ETF Portfolio I'd Own

PFXF: An Attractive Risk-Reward Heading Into 2026

VanEck Preferred Securities ex Financials ETF maintains a high 67.3% allocation to securities maturing in 30 years or more. This should provide a tailwind for returns in 2026 should U.S. 30-year yields decline, driven by the potential conclusion of Fed policy normalization. U.S. GDP growth is projected to accelerate in 2026, indicating a manageable credit risk environment for non-investment grade securities.

How I Would Build An Ultra-High-Conviction Retirement Portfolio Right Now

Building a resilient retirement portfolio requires a mix of disruption-proof income from REITs, midstream energy, and high-yielding assets, plus growth stocks and ETFs. Current market challenges—AI disruption, weak job market, inflation risks—make long-term planning difficult, but also highlight the need for self-reliance and diversification. Core portfolio holdings should include large, proven REITs, natural gas midstream companies, select high-yield stocks, BDCs, preferred equity ETFs, and actively managed income funds.

Preferred Stocks With Room To Run

I built a preferred stock portfolio starting in 2022 in anticipation of falling inflation and interest rates, which has delivered strong double-digit returns. With fiscal and monetary policy now more aligned, I expect inflation to return to the Fed's 2% target and falling interest rates creating further upside for preferred stocks and ETFs. Preferred stocks RITM.PR.D, ABR.PR.F, CIM.PR.C, and ETFs PFFA, PFFR, and PFXF should benefit from declining rates over the next year.
