Every month I add to positions in my closed-end fund portfolio, which helps to compound my distribution growth over the long term. While markets are tapping new all-time highs or close to it, I let my cash pile build, which has been the case for a handful of months now. With that, I still added to two positions, which are long-time positions of mine where I feel they are differentiated and discounted enough to be appealing currently.

BlackRock Enhanced Equity Dividend Trust (BDJ) is rated Hold due to a less compelling risk/reward profile at its current 7% discount to NAV. BDJ's portfolio has shifted from diversified value to concentrated mega-cap tech, with Microsoft now at 12.5% of assets, altering its risk dynamics. The covered-call strategy, while historically respectable, has recently produced realized losses in a strong bull market and structurally caps upside.

By investing in funds, one can get significant diversification, either broadly across the market or even within one specific sector. Today, we are looking at two income plays delivering high distribution rates for their investors.

The crowd is still way too worried about interest rates—and their fear is handing us a shot at two stout monthly dividends (yielding up to 11.9%) on the cheap.
