4 Closed-End Fund Buys (And A Sell) In The Month Of February 2025
The tech-heavy Nasdaq started to dip toward the end of February, but a strong last trading day of the month rally clawed back some of those losses. The equal-weighted S&P 500, as measured by the Invesco ETF RSP, held up reasonably well thanks to the value sectors putting up some better performance. Every month, I put some cash to work to grow my CEF portfolio income, though I've been allowing my cash pile to also grow over the last year or so.

5 Closed-End Fund Buys (And A Sell) In The Month Of January 2025
The market had a solid two years back to back, and to kick off 2025, January also saw some of that same upside momentum continue. There was some recent volatility in the market after DeepSeek and tariffs were announced; particularly, NVDA from the Mag 7 group has been sliding. That said, every month, I put some additional capital to work to help grow my cash flow over the long term, and January 2025 was no different.

CII: 8.5% Income, 7% Discount, And Lower Volatility
BlackRock Enhanced Capital and Income Fund Inc is a closed-end fund that invests in the equity of large-cap stocks, mostly from the S&P 500. It also utilizes a buy-write call options strategy on the underlying individual holdings to lower volatility and generate income. CII offers a high-income yield of 8.5% after its recent distribution increase and a moderately high discount of roughly 7%. We would rate the fund as a 'hold' for existing owners and a 'buy' for the new investors.

11 Closed-End Fund Buys In The Month Of November 2024
This month, I've added to 11 different positions, but most of these were related to repurchases after the BlackRock tender offers. While I added to 11 different positions, these were all positions I had already held previously, so there were no new positions this month. In fact, I sold out of a fund to consolidate my holdings and reduce the number of funds held, as I did last month as well.

CII: Name Change And Policy Tweak For This Equity CEF
The BlackRock Enhanced Capital and Income Fund is a buy-write equity CEF with 50 holdings, focusing on large-cap stocks and writing single-name options. The fund is changing its name to BlackRock Enhanced Large Cap Core Fund and introducing an 80% large-cap equity investment policy, effective December 31, 2024. CII's performance is closely correlated with the S&P 500, benefiting from market volatility through option premiums, but it mirrors market drawdowns.
