CCIF: One Of The Newer CEFs Offering High Yield Income From CLOs
CCIF offers a 19% yield and trades at a discount to NAV, making it an attractive buy for high-yield income. SPMC, with a 16% yield and growing AUM, is a solid hold, especially if market corrections provide buying opportunities. EARN, recently converted to a CLO CEF, offers a 17% yield, but is still building its portfolio; best kept on a watchlist.

The Tide Is Changing, Be Prepared With CLOs To Keep The Income Streaming In
The Magnificent Seven stocks led a bull run from late 2022 to 2024, but 2025's market correction reveals vulnerabilities, offering opportunities in high-yield CLO equity funds.
