5 Best CEFs This Month For A 9% Yield (April 2024)
2024-02-18 09:00:00 - Seeking Alpha
CSQ: Best Of Both Worlds? Solid 8% Income And Capital Appreciation
Calamos Strategic Total Return Fund is a closed-end fund that invests in a diversified portfolio of common stocks, convertibles, corporate bonds, and preferred securities. The CSQ CEF has a solid record of nearly 20 years, providing its owners with high income and capital appreciation at the same time. We believe it is a solid, diversified fund for income investors. However, we would rate the fund as a "Hold" as its equity assets may be a bit overvalued while counter-balanced by fixed-income assets. So, overall, the fund appears fairly valued at this time.

5 Best CEFs This Month For 9% Yield (January 2024)
For income investors, closed-end funds remain an attractive investment class that covers a variety of asset classes and promises high distributions and reasonable total returns. Closed-end funds, or CEFs, are generally characterized by higher volatility and deeper drawdowns 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.

CSQ: Solid Performance And Sustainable Distribution
CSQ has a solid track record and offers a healthy distribution yield, but it also trades at a tight valuation. The fund's discount has barely budged since our previous update despite the market actually hitting correction territory briefly during this period. CSQ's distribution rate is sustainable and attractive, but the latest report shows that it is funded entirely by capital gains.

CSQ: This Good Blended Fund Is Finally Trading At An Attractive Price
The Calamos Strategic Total Return Fund offers a high level of total return through a diversified portfolio of equities, convertible securities, and high-yield corporate bonds. The CSQ closed-end fund's recent performance has been reasonable, but it has underperformed compared to other options in the market. The fund's current distribution yield is not as high as some other funds, but it is reasonably competitive with equity closed-end funds.

CSQ: This Blended Fund Has Appealing Features, But Its Price Is Too High
The Calamos Strategic Total Return Fund invests in a diversified portfolio of equities, convertible securities, and high-yield corporate bonds. The fund's market performance has been decent, but there are other funds that have outperformed it. The fund's bond allocation is weighted towards high-yield bonds, which have attractive yields but also higher risk.

CEF Weekly Review: (Some) CEF Net Income Turns Negative
We review CEF market valuation and performance through the second week of July and highlight recent market action. CEFs had a good week overall as NAVs gained, however, discounts remain sluggish. The net income profile of some CEFs has turned negative, owing to a high cost of leverage.
