4 Closed-End Fund Buys In The Month Of March 2024

BlackRock Utilities, Infrastructure & Power Opportunities Trust (BUI) and abrdn Global Infrastructure Income Fund (ASGI) are taking a bit longer to perform with utilities off to a weak start. Both funds are trading at attractive discounts to their net asset value per share, making them potential investment options for investors. Both funds also provide investors with attractive distributions paid out monthly while employing no leverage through borrowings.

Infrastructure assets are physical structures and facilities that are essential for the functioning of society. Investing in infrastructure provides diversification, steady cash flows, inflation protection, and the ability to grow with GDP.

abrdn Global Infrastructure Income Fund: Global Infrastructure Finds Its Sweet Spot In 2024

There is a ton of demand for bonds out there right now, and it's easy to see why: they're offering big income streams—especially when you buy your high-yield “corporates” through our favorite income plays: closed-end funds (CEFs).

Several high-yielding closed-end funds have announced increased monthly distributions for 2024. The funds mentioned have a forward annual yield exceeding 10%, except for one that yields 9.5%.

I have a total of 41 positions in my closed-end fund portfolio, with the top ten positions making up 36.52% of the portfolio. We have four new names making their way to my top ten list since the prior update, but three were already positions that have simply grown to be larger allocations. Closed-end funds overall look to be a place of opportunity as discounts remain historically wide across both equity and fixed-income-focused funds.

October was a challenging month for the equity and fixed-income markets, with surging risk-free rates in the Treasury market putting pressure across the board. I've added to positions with utility, REIT, and municipal bond exposure, taking advantage of some extraordinary discounts in the closed-end fund space. The key theme was to continue to limit adding any significant fund-level leverage to my portfolio in the current month, as I've been doing throughout this year.

abrdn Global Infrastructure Income Fund has a unique positioning with overweighted industrial stocks, which has helped its performance relative to other infrastructure funds. The fund's lack of leverage is a positive in the current rising rate environment, and its deep discount presents a longer-term investment opportunity. ASGI has performed relatively well on a year-to-date basis, outperforming peers for what I believe is due to its differentiated positioning and lack of leverage.

abrdn Global Infrastructure Income Fund is a closed-end fund that focuses on global utilities and infrastructure equity investments. The fund has a high correlation to the utilities sector and is sensitive to interest rates. ASGI has a discount to NAV of -16% and a managed distribution plan, but a significant portion of its distribution comes from long-term gains.
