Flaherty & Crumrine Inc is a Pasadena-based firm that specializes in preferred and contingent capital securities, offering a range of closed-end funds and mutual funds to both retail and institutional investors. Their securities, which have characteristics of both bonds and common stock, provide investors with fixed or floating dividends and preference over common stock in dividend payments and company asset liquidation.
With a focus on traditional preferred securities, Flaherty & Crumrine Inc offers investment options that pay fixed or adjustable-rate dividends and have a liquidation preference equal to the original purchase price. These securities can be structured differently for retail and institutional investors, with retail securities listed on stock exchanges and institutional securities traded over-the-counter. While preferred securities may have a final maturity date, many are perpetual in nature, allowing issuers to extend maturity or defer principal payments without adverse consequences. Preferred shareholders typically do not have voting rights in corporate matters.
