5 Best CEFs This Month For Yields Up To 13% (July 2025)
For income investors, closed-end funds remain an attractive investment class that covers various asset classes and promises high distributions and reasonable total returns. Closed-end funds, or CEFs, are generally characterized by higher volatility and deeper drawdowns than the broader market. For these reasons, they are not suited for everyone. In this monthly series, we highlight five CEFs with solid track records that pay high distributions and offer "excess" discounts. We try to separate the wheat from the chaff using our filtering process to select just five CEFs every month from around 500 closed-end funds.

3-Bucket System For $5,000 Monthly Income, For Early Retirees
The S&P 500 provides a meager 1.2% yield, besides a roller-coaster ride on a regular basis. It may be a reasonably good investment for younger investors when they are in their prime accumulation phase. If you are a retiree or someone who depends on a regular income stream from your investment portfolio, the last thing you want is to worry about when to sell shares to raise income. We will present a balanced and highly diversified 3-bucket portfolio that is likely to provide 5% to 6% income and market-beating growth with lower volatility and less drawdowns. It will also provide $5,000 on a monthly basis on a $1 million capital.

ADX: Solid Equity CEF But Expensive (Rating Downgrade)
ADX offers high income and blue-chip exposure, but its current valuation is less attractive, trading at the lowest NAV discount in a decade. The fund prioritizes distributions over capital appreciation, making it best suited for income-focused investors rather than those seeking growth. Recent changes to the distribution policy provide more consistent payouts, but tax efficiency remains a concern for non-tax-advantaged accounts.

ADX Looks Like A Dream, Until The Cycle Turns
ADX is a solid closed-end fund combining growth exposure with high-income distributions, but current valuations make it a risky bet this late in the cycle. The fund has a long-term track record dating back to 1929, having weathered major downturns like the Great Depression, World War II, stagflation and multiple bubbles. ADX trades at a discount to NAV, providing a slight value alpha, but this does not offset the elevated risk of investing in an overvalued market.
