Quotable Insights: Jay Hatfield, CEO & Portfolio Manager in the Media [Updated Sept 29]

Updated: Sep 29, 2023


SEPTEMBER MEDIA HIGHLIGHTS

"This performance is surprisingly strong. And I think that it’s really two reasons why the market isn’t unhinging. One, I think is technical, because [there is] a lot of support for the market at 4,300,” said Jay Hatfield, CEO at Infrastructure Capital Advisors. “It may not hold but there’s support there.” “And then people are waiting for the right moment to get back on the AI boom trade.” ~ Jay ,

Jay Hatfield told Yahoo Finance "It is entirely possible that WTI crude trades above $100 before supply and demand factors overwhelm momentum." He added, "We do believe that there will be substantial demand destruction at [WTI] prices above $95 per barrel, which will drive the commodity back into our fair value range," ~ Jay Hatfield

"The primary driver of the miss on core (inflation) was driven by a swing in airline fares from down 8.1% last month to up 4.9%, which is simply an example of how energy prices bleed into core as 40% of airline costs are driven by energy prices," ~ Jay Hatfield

Sept 14, 2023 ~ Investors Business Daily with Matt Krantz


"What matters most now to the IPOing companies, their bankers and investors is market stability", per Jay Hatfield at Infrastructure Capital Advisors. “The primary criteria is really a calm market. That’s what we have now,” he said. “Volatility is very, very low, which indicates that investors are confident we’re not going into a recession — confident enough to put new capital to work in IPOs.”

“Inflation is already contained so these monthly numbers are more noise than substantive,” said Jay Hatfield, chief executive officer at Infrastructure Capital Management.“It is really a reflection of the fact that there is a bleed through of energy prices to core and our models show the energy prices are likely to stay range bound, so we do think that inflation’s contained.”

“It’s not optional to have good credit ratings, because they need faith,” said Jay Hatfield, CEO of Infrastructure Capital Advisors, of regional banks. “Any sort of reduction of faith in the regional banking system is really terrible for market sentiment.”

"There is no clear reason for what is known as the “September effect.” But it is typically a month without the type of news that can push stocks higher, such as major corporate earnings", said Jay Hatfield, chief executive officer of Infrastructure Capital Advisors. “The basic theory is that good news almost always comes from the companies, and the bad news comes from random events.” Hatfield said. He pointed to Fitch’s recent downgrade of the U.S. credit rating as an example.

Virtus InfraCap U.S. Preferred Stock ETF (NYSE: PFFA): 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. 

 

InfraCap REIT Preferred ETF (NYSE: PFFR): Exchange-Traded Funds (ETF): The value of an ETF may be more volatile than the underlying portfolio of securities it is designed to track. The costs of owning the ETF may exceed the cost of investing directly in the underlying securities. Preferred Stocks: Preferred stocks may decline in price, fail to pay dividends, or be illiquid. Real Estate Investments: The Fund may be negatively affected by factors specific to the real estate market, including interest rates, leverage, property, and management. Industry/Sector Concentration: A Fund that focuses its investments in a particular industry or sector will be more sensitive to conditions that affect that industry or sector than a non-concentrated Fund. Passive Strategy/Index Risk: A passive investment strategy seeking to track the performance of the underlying index may result in the Fund holding securities regardless of market conditions or their current or projected performance. This could cause the Fund’s returns to be lower than if the Fund employed an active strategy. Correlation to Index: The performance of the Fund and its index may vary somewhat due to factors such as Fund flows, transaction costs, and timing differences associated with additions to and deletions from its index.

Additionally, when investors have heightened fears about the economy, the risk spread between MLPs and competing investment options can widen, which may have an adverse effect on the stock price of MLPs. Rising interest rates may increase the potential cost of MLPs financing projects or cost of operations, and may affect the demand for MLP investments, either of which may result in lower performance by or distributions from the Fund’s MLP investments. Industry/Sector Concentration: A fund that focuses its investments in a particular industry or sector will be more sensitive to conditions that affect that industry or sector than a non-concentrated fund.
