For income investors, closed-end funds, or CEFs, remain an attractive investment class that covers various asset classes and promises high distributions and reasonable total returns. CEFs are generally characterized by higher volatility and deeper draw-downs than the broader market. For these reasons, they are not suited for everyone. In this monthly series, we highlight five CEFs with solid track records that pay high distributions and offer “excess” discounts. We try to separate the wheat from the chaff using our filtering process to select just five CEFs every month from around 500 closed-end funds.» Mehr auf seekingalpha.com
