What is the difference between convertible prefer stocks and regular pref stock concerning risk/return/etc.?

Convertibles may have a smaller return. After they reach conversion parity, they move together with the price of the common stock into which they are convertible, so they assume a degree of risk similar to the risk in the common stock. But they are protected against downward risk by their dividend return. If the stock declines to below conversion parity, the preferred will revert to its preferred stock status just like a nonconvertible. That is, the yield will keep it from declining further.
