CLM & CRF: High Yields, High Premiums, Bargain Prices (For Some)

CLM and CRF have historically sold at very high premiums, perhaps driven by the allure of high cash yields. Shareholders participating in their dividend-reinvestment plans (DRIP) have been able to buy new shares at a highly discounted price (i.e. NAV), essentially at the expense of non-DRIP shareholders. As more shareholders come to understand how this works, I expect the air will slowly go out of the balloon.

CLM: It's Not A 'Buy And Forget' High-Income Fund

Cornerstone Strategic Value Fund has a high dividend yield of over 17% but has seen a significant decline in price over the last decade. The fund's distribution history is inconsistent, but it may still be appealing when paired with other high-yielding assets. In addition, the accumulation of shares at NAV offsets this. Despite the poor NAV growth, the total return performance has been high because of the distribution.

CLM: Why You Should Not Pay The 2% Expense Ratio

Cornerstone Strategic Value Fund is a popular closed-end fund known for its high yield of 17.7%. CLM's performance has been underwhelming over a 10-year period, with an expense ratio that closely matches the underperformance. The high dividend yield is primarily made up of investors' original capital, rather than genuine earnings from the fund's investments.

CLM: Equity CEF With A 18% Yield

Cornerstone Strategic Value Fund is an equity closed-end management investment company that aims to provide high dividends from a portfolio of equity names. The fund's 18% dividend yield is not supported by its underlying assets, and the CEF has seen its NAV decline by approximately -6.8% annually in the past decade. The fund is subject to overall equity market moves and is at risk of a significant sell-off, potentially even moving to a discount to net asset value.
