EDD offers a high 9.09% yield, outperforming major bond indices, but lags behind peer emerging market debt funds in total return over the past decade. The fund's unique focus on local currency-denominated emerging market bonds makes it a strong play if the U.S. dollar continues to weaken. Recent performance has improved as the dollar declined, and strong emerging market GDP growth supports the investment thesis, though currency risk remains.

For income investors, closed-end funds remain an attractive investment class that covers various asset classes and promises high distributions and reasonable total returns. Closed-end funds, or CEFs, are generally characterized by higher volatility and deeper drawdowns than the broader market. For these reasons, they are not suited for everyone. In this monthly series, we highlight five CEFs with solid track records that pay high distributions and offer "excess" discounts. We try to separate the wheat from the chaff using our filtering process to select just five CEFs every month from around 500 closed-end funds.
