We review the CEF market valuation and performance through the third week of August and highlight recent market action.

WDI: 12% Yield, 3% Discount, Monthly Payer
Western Asset Diversified Income Fund is a relatively new CEF selling at a discount, with high current income and capital appreciation objectives. WDI pays a monthly distribution, has a termination date of 6/4/2033, and has shown strong performance in 2023 and 2024. WDI's valuations show a discount to NAV, but historical discounts have been deeper, making it a potential buy during volatile periods like September-October.
