Virtus InfraCap U.S. Preferred Stock ETF (NYSE Arca: PFFA) Declares Monthly Distribution

NEW YORK, April 17, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- The Virtus InfraCap U.S. Preferred Stock ETF (NYSE Arca: PFFA) (the "Fund") has declared a monthly distribution of $0.15 per share ($1.80 per share on an annualized basis).  This rate compares to a monthly rate of $0.15 per share paid in the prior month.  The distribution will be paid April 28, 2020 to shareholders of record as of the close of business April 21, 2020.

Due to persistent stock market volatility, portfolio leverage remains below historical Fund averages, directly impacting the Fund's distributable current income.  Additionally, the Fund's option overlay strategy is at reduced levels due to unfavorable market conditions, also negatively impacting distribution levels.

The Fund announced last month that the semi-annual review of distribution levels has been modified to a monthly review frequency.  Monthly reviews will continue until financial market conditions stabilize.

PFFA Cash Distribution:

• Ex-Date: Monday, April 20, 2020
• Record Date: Tuesday, April 21, 2020
• Payable Date: Tuesday, April 28, 2020

Infrastructure Capital Advisors expects to declare future distributions on a monthly basis.  Distributions are planned, but not guaranteed, for every month.  The next distribution is scheduled to occur in May 2020.

Fund Risks

Exchange Traded Funds: The value of an ETF may be more volatile than the underlying portfolio of securities the ETF is designed to track. The costs of owning the ETF may exceed the cost of investing directly in the underlying securities. Preferred Stock: Preferred stocks may decline in price, fail to pay dividends, or be illiquid. Non-Diversified: The Fund is non-diversified and may be more susceptible to factors negatively impacting its holdings to the extent that each security represents a larger portion of the Fund's assets. Short Sales: The Fund may engage in short sales, and may experience a loss if the price of a borrowed security increases before the date on which the Fund replaces the security. Leverage: When a Fund leverages its portfolio, the value of its shares may be more volatile and all other risks may be compounded. Derivatives: Investments in derivatives such as futures, options, forwards, and swaps may increase volatility or cause a loss greater than the principal investment. No Guarantee: There is no guarantee that the portfolio will meet its objective. Prospectus: For additional information on risks, please see the Fund's prospectus.

You should consider the Fund's investment objectives, risks, and charges and expenses carefully before investing.
