We closed out the first half of 2025, making it an appropriate time to give the overall CEF space a fresh look for potential opportunities. As the broader equity indexes have been performing quite well, discounts in the CEF space have narrowed overall. The best relative value more broadly is in the municipal bond space and the "hybrid" funds.

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Destiny Tech100 Inc. (NYSE: DXYZ) recently announced financial results for the quarter ended December 31, 2024.

Closed-end funds offer unique opportunities due to their discount/premium mechanisms, allowing share prices to deviate from net asset value per share in a wild manner. In general, CEFs often provide diverse exposure across equity and fixed-income portfolios, and they even offer exposure to hybrid portfolios, but also allowing for sector-specific exposure. One important note is that not all premiums or discounts indicate a buying or selling opportunity; instead, it can make more sense to examine relative value over historical periods.

SpaceX's recent achievements highlight a new era of innovation, making it a compelling investment but caution against overpaying is crucial. I sold my stake in Destiny due to its indefensible premium; recommend others do the same and reinvest wisely. For SpaceX exposure, consider ERShares Private-Public Crossover ETF, which offers better value and allocation compared to Destiny.

The closed-end fund space saw a significant narrowing of discounts throughout 2024 as equity markets charged higher and now discounts remain tight heading into 2025. In particular, equity CEFs have seen significantly narrowed discounts along with taxable fixed-income, though municipal bond funds look relatively attractive after widening discounts in December. We are screening for funds with the deepest discounts and widest z-scores to find potential buys and funds that may be getting a bit pricey as sell candidates.
