America: In debt we trust. The Bank of Mom & Dad is seeing growing adoption. We discuss a pattern that's been evolving for decades.

November presented a pullback primarily in the mega-cap tech, but one that was fairly shallow with a recovery toward the month's end. With that said, there were some opportunities presented with the added volatility for the month. I add to my closed-end fund portfolio positions to help generate a long-term cash flow snowball that increases every month.

Collect cash flow from companies you use every day. With a diversified dividend portfolio, you are surrounded by businesses paying you dividends. Even when I go to the doctor's office, I see brands that are paying me.

We continue our discussion on debt, this time focusing on corporate borrowing. CLOs and BDCs are two pillars of the credit markets, powering the U.S. economy. Securities from these asset classes tend to be volatile due to interest rates and credit health, but have safer preferreds/baby bonds.

Steven Bavaria, from Inside the Income Factory, discusses credit assets like high-yield bonds, senior loans, and BDCs for stable, high-yield income, favoring closed-end funds for their resilience and discounts. Expense ratios for BDC ETFs like PBDC appear high due to accounting rules, but actual fund expenses are low—professional management adds only about 0.4%.

With the month of July closing out, we are once again seeing the broader equity markets pushing to new all-time highs. As we enter into new all-time highs, we appear to be looking quite stretched on valuations, and CEF discounts have been narrowing.

Eagle Point Credit Co LLC (ECC) Q2 2025 Earnings Call Transcript

Monthly-paying income investments can be attractive for retirees, but also for those still accumulating wealth, when reinvested for compounding income over time. Fixed-income focused closed-end funds can provide those attractive monthly distribution yields that income-focused investors are looking for. Today, we are looking at two funds that provide a monthly payout plus are trading at attractive discounts.

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.
