CII: Yield Is Low At 6.25%, But Still A Worthy Income Investment

BlackRock Enhanced Capital and Income Fund Inc is a closed-end fund that mainly invests in the equities of U.S. listed companies. It also writes call and put options to generate income. The CII CEF has a solid long-term record of performance; however, the yield is a bit on the lower side compared to other similar funds. We believe it is an attractive fund for income investors who do not mind a slightly lower yield in the range of 6% but desire higher long-term growth in return.
