Let's debunk a CEF myth called "return of capital," or ROC, that has caused many investors to miss out on the sustainable high income potential of closed-end funds. ROC is often misunderstood as a negative aspect, but it can actually be a strategic distribution method that enhances overall returns.
The best closed-end funds have the potential to significantly boost your portfolio income. Unlike traditional open-end funds, closed-end funds trade on stock exchanges and can be bought at a discount to their net asset value (NAV). This allows investors to not only benefit from high yields but also acquire the underlying stocks and bonds of the fund at a favorable price.
Closed-end funds can be particularly advantageous in volatile markets. The high yields they offer can act as a cushion, providing a stable income stream even when other investments may experience significant fluctuations. This stability can be attractive to income-focused investors looking for consistent returns.
The Calamos Long/Short Equity and Dynamic Income Trust is a unique closed-end fund worth considering. This fund invests in both long/short equity strategies and income-producing assets, providing investors with a diversified approach to generating income while managing risk.
With the recent pullback from the market's high this year, investors now have a second chance to buy some terrific dividend stocks at discounted prices. Closed-end funds can be an excellent avenue to take advantage of this opportunity, as they often hold a variety of dividend-paying stocks in their portfolios.
When looking for potential closed-end fund investments, PCEF (Invesco CEF Income Composite ETF) is worth considering. Longer-term trading plans for PCEF suggest buying slightly over the target price of $17.11, with a stop loss at $17.06.
