Why I Moved On From BMEZ Despite A 14.2% Yield (Rating Downgrade)
BlackRock Health Sciences Term Trust's discount to NAV has narrowed sharply, eroding the original deep-value thesis and making the risk/reward profile less attractive. BlackRock's tender offer and increased distributions successfully closed the discount, but future activist pressure is now limited due to Saba's standstill agreement. The fund's high 14% yield is appealing but unsustainable, as it relies on return of capital rather than underlying earnings, especially in biotech.

7 Closed-End Fund Buys (And 4 Sells) In The Month Of April 2025
April's market volatility, driven by tariffs and led by tech sector declines, created opportunities to deploy cash. However, it was an opportunity to reposition my portfolio as well, with 2 swap trades to de-risk my portfolio. There were 2 corporate actions in the last month that also saw two more positions removed from my CEF portfolio, but overall, I was a net buyer for the month.
