How PIC works

PIC is a split corporation: a closed-end fund that splits a portfolio of dividend-paying stocks into two classes of shares with different risk-return profiles. Preferred shares — PIC.PR.A — receive a prioritized, cumulative monthly dividend; Class A shareholders give up that priority in exchange for a much higher yield.
