Top Dividend Plays With Strong Analyst Ratings
When considering dividend stocks, most investors search for established and stable companies likely to trade away some of their growth opportunity in favor of a steady schedule of payouts to investors. This has long been a tried-and-true approach for investors looking to buy dividend-paying companies and hold them for the long term, and its appeal as a risk-mitigating strategy is clear in times of market turmoil.

ECC: Still Delivers High-Yield Income Despite Declining NAV
Eagle Point Credit Co LLC remains attractive for long-term, patient income investors seeking high yield, but recent price volatility and NAV decline warrant caution. The Series D preferred shares, ECC.PR.D, offer a safer, nearly 9% yield with lower risk, making them ideal for conservative income investors. ECC's recurring cash flows continue to cover distributions, and the fund's CLO resets provide additional flexibility and portfolio safety.

Retire With Two 9% Picks From Your Favorite Income Machine: ECC
Eagle Point Credit's common stock is unattractive due to high fees and poor risk-adjusted returns, despite its popularity among retail investors. I recommend two ECC fixed-income products—ECCC and ECC.PR.D—each offering yields above 9% and higher in the capital structure than common stock. ECCC provides lower duration and cumulative monthly distributions, making it a solid choice for risk-conscious investors.

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.

It's Raining CLO Equity CEFs And Why We Got Longer
The CLO Equity CEF sector has doubled in size over the past two years, driven by new entrants and favorable market conditions. Key catalysts include a benign default environment, tightening credit spreads, and the attractiveness of floating-rate assets amid a flat/inverted yield curve. CLO Equity funds benefit from embedded options like reinvestment and call options, which enhance returns during periods of market volatility.
