I rate CRF a Hold for income-focused investors, given its high yield but declining share price and dividend over time. The fund trades at a significant premium to NAV, but the DRIP allows reinvested dividends to be purchased at NAV, offering a discount advantage. CRF underperforms the S&P 500 in total return, and its distributions are largely return of capital, risking long-term capital erosion.» Mehr auf seekingalpha.com

Cornerstone Total Return Fund offers a diversified, large-cap equity portfolio with a simple, long-term investment approach and minimal portfolio turnover. The fund's high 18% yield is driven by regular distributions from net assets, not portfolio returns, causing a gradual share price decline over time. Dividend reinvestment at NAV or market price enables compounding, often resulting in total returns that outperform the S&P 500.» Mehr auf seekingalpha.com
