Flaherty & Crumrine is advisor to the approximately $1.6 billion Fund, while Claymore Securities serves as the Fund's shareholder service agent.

PFPC is providing financial accounting and recordkeeping, pricing and corporate actions, financial and regulatory reporting, tax services, compliance monitoring and Blue Sky compliance. On the transfer agency side, the firm is providing call center, quality assurance, transaction processing and work management, print mail and proxy and fulfillment services.

"PFPC is excited to add a new dimension to our 12-year relationship with Flaherty & Crumrine, one of the nation's premier managers of preferred securities," said Stephen M. Wynne, chief operating officer, PFPC, in a prepared release.

Pasadena-based Flaherty & Crumrine manages some $2.5 billion in preferred and related securities.
