Income-Covered Closed-End Fund Report, June 2025
I focus on CEFs with 100%+ distribution coverage, as this suggests lower risk of distribution cuts and more sustainable income for investors. My top screens highlight funds with the deepest discounts, highest yields, and most attractive z-scores, offering both income and potential price appreciation. Blackstone Strategic Credit 2027 Term Fund (BGB) stands out for its 8.9% yield, 104% coverage, and discount-driven alpha as it nears expiration.

What Recent CEF Distribution Cuts Mean, And Why I'm Not Concerned
Diversification across bonds, senior loans, and CLOs is key to managing interest rate and credit risks in fixed-income portfolios. Market timing is extremely difficult; a balanced mix of fixed and floating-rate assets provides resilience regardless of rate direction. Distribution cuts in floating-rate CEFs are expected as rates fall but should be weighed against opportunity cost and risk-adjusted returns.

5 Closed-End Fund Buys In The Month Of May 2025
The market saw a strong continuing recovery in May from April's market drop. The rebound was enough to see the drop recover entirely that was seen in April, but the markets still remain off all-time highs seen in February. While there wasn't as much in terms of opportunity for buying as there was in April, I add to my CEF positions every month regardless.

BGB: Discount Provides Alpha Opportunity
Blackstone Strategic Credit 2027 Term Fund is a term-structured closed-end fund, which can make its discount even more important as we near the final couple of years. Term funds can extend their liquidation date or even attempt to go perpetual, though it is usually only in a manner that would benefit shareholders. Due to the term structure for BGB, there is an opportunity to generate alpha while collecting a monthly distribution until its anticipated termination.

CEF Weekly Review: Fixed Distribution Policies Can Get Unfixed
We review the CEF market valuation and performance through the third week of March and highlight recent market action. Nearly all CEF sectors were up, with MLPs rebounding and loan funds lagging; month-to-date, most sectors remain down due to lower equity prices and wider credit spreads. Invesco credit CEFs VLT and VVR cancelled their fixed managed distribution policies with VVR price falling hard on the news.

BGB: This CEF Is Now Fair-Valued (Rating Downgrade)
The Blackstone Strategic Credit 2027 Term Fund was previously rated 'Buy' due to its wide discount to NAV, which has since narrowed significantly. BGB's robust performance over the past year is largely due to the discount narrowing, with 40% of the total return attributed to this factor. Despite strong performance, a significant portion of BGB's gains stem from valuation normalization rather than fundamental cash flow improvements.
