Income investors don't need to be in the business of predicting Mr. Market's next move. With the Income Method by our side, time in the market is money in our pockets. We discuss our two overlooked picks with tax-advantaged yields of up to 13%.

METRO CHICAGO, Ill. , Nov. 3, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Calamos Investments®* has announced monthly distributions and sources of distributions paid in November 2025 to shareholders of its seven closed-end funds (the Funds) pursuant to the Funds' respective distribution plans.

This month's top 10 closed-end funds offer an average yield of 9.25% and strong long-term performance across diverse asset classes. For income investors, closed-end funds remain an attractive investment class that covers various asset classes and promises high distributions and reasonable total returns. Closed-end funds, or CEFs, are generally characterized by higher volatility and deeper drawdowns than the broader market. For these reasons, they are not suited for everyone.

The Calamos Dynamic Convertible and Income Fund (CCD) offers a high 10.81% yield, primarily investing in convertible bonds for income and equity-like upside. CCD has outperformed its convertible bond index peers over the past decade, though recent returns lagged the S&P 500 and the convertible bond index. The fund's valuation has improved, no longer trading at double-digit premiums, making it more attractive than in previous months, though still pricier than peers.

Ignore "shiny" stocks, buy fixed-income for reliable yields. High interest rates are a gift for income investors. As rates decline, high-yields will be harder to find.

Convertible securities are hybrid bonds and stocks that have a prearranged conversion factor into common stock, but pay an interest coupon to the holder until conversion is exercised.

Closed-end funds, or CEFs, are generally characterized by higher volatility and deeper drawdowns than the broader market. For these reasons, they are not suited for everyone. In this monthly series, we highlight the ten best CEFs with solid track records that pay high distributions and offer "excess" discounts. We try to separate the wheat from the chaff using our filtering process to select 10 CEFs every month from around 500 closed-end funds.

I like to build multiple income streams for lasting retirement flexibility. Certain essential sectors don't pay dividends; but I find ways to extract my cut. We discuss two picks offering yields of up to 11%.
