BSTZ remains a top AI-driven closed-end fund, outperforming the S&P 500 and NASDAQ 100 over the past six months. BSTZ's portfolio now exceeds 30% private holdings, with increased exposure to innovative tech and AI hardware, but this raises valuation and liquidity uncertainties. The fund trades at a persistent discount to NAV, allowing for value-enhancing strategies like share repurchases, though the discount reflects market skepticism.

BSTZ's portfolio is heavily weighted toward technology, with 34% in private investments, increasing both growth potential and risk exposure. A shift in strategy will focus on long-term capital appreciation, with income strategies like option selling being phased out by late 2025.

A foremost concern for many retirees is for their retirement portfolios to be able to generate sufficient income to maintain their lifestyles during their golden years.

Investors love dividend stocks and ETFs, especially those with ultra-high mega yields, because they provide a substantial passive income stream and offer significant total return potential.

According to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), passive income generally includes earnings from rental activity or any trade, business, or investment in which the individual does not materially participate.

Retirees are the biggest income focused individual investor demographic, with Baby Boomer aged retirees cumulatively totalling over 73 million.
