CII: The New Strategy Has Worked For This 8% Dividend Yielder
The BlackRock Enhanced Large Cap Core Fund, Inc successfully changed its investment strategy in December 2024, shifting its focus from a broad S&P 500 approach to being more concentrated. The fund's new strategy involves a high concentration of large-capitalization equities, with its top 10 holdings accounting for roughly 50% of the portfolio. CII employs a buy-write strategy using single-stock options on its holdings, a method that differs from competitors who typically use S&P 500 index options.

5 Best CEFs This Month For Yields Up To 15% (June 2025)
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. In this monthly series, we highlight five 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 just five CEFs every month from around 500 closed-end funds.

2 Option Writing Funds Providing Attractive Distribution Yields
Covered call writing closed-end funds can offer higher distributions through option premiums, but they can also limit some upside potential. Some funds incorporate more flexible strategies to help negate some of that upside cap through overwriting only a portion of the fund.

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.

8 Closed-End Fund Buys (And 2 Sells) In The Month Of March 2025
This month we got some increased market volatility, allowing me to put some of my cash pile to work in my closed-end fund portfolio. I also sold out of two positions, as they were starting to become on the more expensive side in terms of discounts/premiums. Adding to my positions regularly every month increases my cash flow annually, and even every month it grows.
