ArrowMark Financial offers unique exposure to regulatory capital relief securities, delivering attractive, high-yielding, and floating-rate exposure. A rights offering earlier this year pressured BANX's share price, widening its discount to NAV and creating a tactical opportunity for investors to sell pre-RO and repurchase post-RO. Since the RO, the price has remained under pressure, which helps to provide an attractive entry price.

ArrowMark Financial offers exposure to regulatory capital relief securities, yielding 9.1% and trading at a 6% discount. BANX's portfolio is high quality (BB+ to BBB-), but transparency is poor, and fees are high at 3.3% of assets. Relative to BDCs and CLO equity funds, BANX appears expensive and delivers lower net yields after fees and leverage.

DENVER, May 12, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ArrowMark Financial Corp. (Nasdaq: BANX) ("ArrowMark Financial" or the "Company"), an SEC registered closed-end management investment company, today announced that its Board of Directors has declared a monthly cash distribution of $0.15 per share for May 2026.

The article presents a rigorously screened list of 10 top closed-end funds, or CEFs, for income investors, offering an average 9.5% plus yield and nearly 8% NAV discount. Selections emphasize sector diversification, long-term outperformance, sustainable distributions, and attractive valuations, with a focus on both equity and credit-oriented CEFs. CEFs are generally characterized by higher volatility and deeper drawdowns than the broader market. For these reasons, they are not suited for everyone.

The Income-Covered Closed-End Fund Report screens for CEFs with distribution coverage exceeding 100%, targeting funds less likely to cut payouts. Discounted, fully-covered CEFs offer dual benefits: potential price appreciation from narrowing discounts and enhanced yields based on full NAV distributions. Composite metrics combining yield, discount, and z-score help identify CEFs offering value on both absolute and relative terms, with high income potential.

ArrowMark Financial transformed from a regional bank lender into a unique vehicle for regulatory capital relief securities after ArrowMark Partners' 2020 takeover. BANX offers retail investors access to high-yield, floating-rate instruments from globally systemic banks, a niche otherwise inaccessible to individuals. The fund's 11% forward yield is fully covered by net investment income, with NAV stability and special dividends likely to decline as Fed rate cuts materialize.
