BUI: 6.7% Yield On Defensive Utilities (Rating Downgrade)
Utilities are outperforming in 2025, making BlackRock Utilities, Infrastructure & Power Opportunities Trust a timely way to access defensive, income-generating assets through a diversified closed-end fund. BUI offers a 6.7% yield with monthly distributions, recently raised by 12%, and strong long-term returns. Currently, BUI trades at a slight premium to NAV, making it a bit less attractive than historical discounts, but that may change.

2 Infrastructure-Focused CEFs Delivering Monthly Distributions
Infrastructure is essential to everyday life for most of civilization, which can provide stability and predictable cash flows. We are looking at two different closed-end funds that provide diversified exposure to the rather broad infrastructure space. Both invest in infrastructure and even include global weightings; however, the strategies employed still differ, which can make them complementary holdings.

BUI: My General Sense Of Caution Extends To Leveraged Utilities (Rating Downgrade)
Evaluate BlackRock Utilities, Infrastructure & Power Opportunities Trust as an investment at its current market price. I am downgrading my outlook because BUI's discount to NAV is now gone. The fund's income has recently received a boost, but management is relying excessively on return of capital to make that happen.

Closed-End Funds: Screening For Potential Opportunites To Kick Off Q1 2025
The closed-end fund space saw a significant narrowing of discounts throughout 2024 as equity markets charged higher and now discounts remain tight heading into 2025. In particular, equity CEFs have seen significantly narrowed discounts along with taxable fixed-income, though municipal bond funds look relatively attractive after widening discounts in December. We are screening for funds with the deepest discounts and widest z-scores to find potential buys and funds that may be getting a bit pricey as sell candidates.
