1 answer not quite right. You sometimes do have a corporate vote ( each issue different) & you have a better claim on corporate assets that a common shareholder in case of liquidation. Symbol for preferred often a "+" & a letter added to common's symbol.

While preferred is somewhere between a stock and a bond, it trades just like a stock or exchange traded fund. Just have to find the right ticker symbol. It usually some derivative of what the common shares use.

It is the same method of buying stock. Just be warned that buying preferred stock do not allow you to be the shareholder of the company. It means that you have no vote for the company authority.
