After speculating earlier this year that Eaton Vance would raise its distributions on its equity CEFs, that was finally confirmed last week on April 1. The distribution increases range from 4.6% for ETV to 32.2% for EOS which gets most of the funds back up to their previous distribution levels from 2022.

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.

The broader market has continued its march higher throughout February, reaching new record highs. Despite the market continuing to move higher, I believe there are still opportunities to put cash to work.

ETG Vs. ETO: The Eaton Vance Leveraged Equity CEF Twins

Eaton Vance Tax-Advantaged Global Dividend Income Fund is a closed-end fund that invests globally in the equity of U.S. and non-U.S companies and, to a lesser extent, in preferred and fixed-income securities. The ETG CEF has a good long-term record of performance. However, the recent performance has been sub-par, more so on the market price. We believe it is an attractive fund for income investors that is highly diversified with global exposure and has proven to provide sustainable income in good times and bad.

Eaton Vance Tax-Advantaged Global Dividend Income Fund has finished 2023 with a solid performance. The solid performance actually moved the fund to a sizeable discount, which is perfect for investors looking to acquire or grow their position. The fund's distribution rate is barely over 6%, and that should bode well for a potential increase in the future.

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.

Eaton Vance Tax-Advantaged Global Dividend Income Fund offers investors the opportunity to earn income from international assets without sacrificing potential upside. The fund's current yield of 7.07% is lower than other fixed income and equity funds, making it less appealing to income-focused investors. The fund has underperformed the S&P 500 Index and the MSCI World Index recently, but has outperformed when considering distributions received by investors.
