BDJ: This Fund Provides Diversification Benefits Along With A High Yield (Rating Downgrade)

BDJ offers an attractive 8.25% yield, outperforming major equity indices and providing a compelling income solution in a low-yield environment. Rate cuts are likely to accelerate inflation, making equities a far better asset to hold than bonds. The fund's distribution appears sustainable, with a decade-long track record of no cuts and growth nearly matching inflation, supporting long-term income needs.

BDJ: Attractive Monthly Distribution At A Discount

BDJ's discount has widened since our prior update and has once again put it in the 'buy' zone. The fund's call writing strategy and value-oriented portfolio provide diversification for an investor's portfolio. BDJ offers a monthly distribution, which can be supported by capital gains from options or the underlying portfolio, as well as some dividends from the underlying portfolio.

BDJ: NAV Remains Resilient Through Market Uncertainty

I maintain a buy rating on BDJ for its consistent 8.8% dividend yield, attractive NAV resilience, and diversified investment approach. BDJ's option strategy generates high income but limits upside, making it ideal for income-focused investors, particularly retirees. The fund's current discount to NAV presents an attractive accumulation opportunity, despite underperforming traditional dividend growth ETFs.

8 Closed-End Fund Buys (And 2 Sells) In The Month Of March 2025

This month we got some increased market volatility, allowing me to put some of my cash pile to work in my closed-end fund portfolio. I also sold out of two positions, as they were starting to become on the more expensive side in terms of discounts/premiums. Adding to my positions regularly every month increases my cash flow annually, and even every month it grows.
