DHF offers an attractive 8.19% yield and trades at a 7.6% discount to NAV, near its lowest discount in a year. The fund's sector allocation and BB-B credit quality provide stability, with strong 3- and 5-year total returns exceeding 10%. DHF consistently outperforms HYG, even when HYG is leveraged, highlighting its superior long-term performance.

BNY Mellon High Yield Strategies Fund offers an 8.1% yield and monthly payouts, but its dividend sustainability is questionable due to inconsistent earnings and poor dividend coverage. The fund is highly sensitive to interest rates, with performance and NAV pressured by the current high-rate environment and aggressive leverage use. DHF's discount to NAV is less attractive than historical averages, and its high allocation to below-investment-grade credit increases risk if defaults rise.

June saw strong tech-led gains, which helped to drive the broader equity indexes to new all-time highs. This was a continuation of what we saw last month, further bouncing off those lows we saw in April. With that said, I still do some buying every month to help compound and generate a growing stream of cash flow going forward.

BNY Mellon High Yield Strategies Fund is a leveraged CEF providing exposure to the high-yield debt space. Recent market volatility and widening high-yield spreads have pressured DHF's portfolio, causing the NAV to dip lower. On top of that, the fund's discount has also been widening, but this makes it a more interesting time to consider adding to this fund overall.
