CEF Weekly Review: Saba Takes The Gloves Off
We review CEF market valuation and performance through the third week of March and highlight recent market action. Most CEF sectors saw lower NAVs due to the drop in stocks and Treasuries, but discounts tightened in all but 3 sectors.

ZTR: Discount Makes This An Interesting Fund With A Potentially Brighter Future
Virtus Total Return Fund Inc. continues to trade at a more tempting discount since its distribution cut in 2023. The ZTR closed-end fund's performance has been weak, but given its discount and portfolio positioning, the future could potentially be brighter.

ZTR: Remain Cautious Despite Distribution Cut
The ZTR fund cut its distribution in August, as warned in my prior article. The new distribution rate should be sustainable in the short term given ZTR's strong performance rebound. However, with elevated equity valuations and normalized interest rates, forward asset class returns are poor, and it is unclear how ZTR can maintain a 9.6% NAV distribution yield.

The ZTR closed-end fund has underperformed both equity and fixed-income indices year-to-date, down 7.85%.

ZTR: Time To Cut Bait And Go Fishing Elsewhere
The Virtus Total Return Fund has experienced a significant cut to its distribution and a decline in its price. The fund's top holdings have underperformed, mainly due to rising interest rates and a decline in the utility sector. It is unlikely that the fund's distribution coverage will improve in the short term, and the NAV has been declining.

ZTR: A Fund That Just Returns Your Money
Virtus Total Return Fund has a dividend yield of 15% but has underperformed with a total annual return of only 0.1% over two decades. The fund's income has consistently decreased, with dividend payments dropping from $2.16 to 96 cents per share annually.
