For income investors, closed-end funds remain an attractive investment class that covers various asset classes and promises high distributions and reasonable total returns. Closed-end funds, or 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

Eaton Vance Enhanced Equity Income Fund was one of the equity-focused EV closed-end funds that did not cut its distributions in 2022. The EOI ETF has a strong track record and has outperformed the S&P 500 Index since our last update despite its covered call strategy. Thanks to avoiding a distribution cut in 2022, the fund has enjoyed a steady or higher distribution for over a decade, though it will naturally require capital gains to fund. » Mehr auf seekingalpha.com
