EHI: Solid Global Income Fund But Not Ideal Time For Entry
EHI offers a high 13.2% yield and global diversification, but its performance is heavily dependent on future interest rate cuts. The fund's price and NAV have declined significantly, with recent returns only modestly positive when distributions are included. EHI's high leverage and substantial exposure to below-investment-grade debt increase risk, especially if defaults rise in a high-rate environment.

EHI: Narrowing Junk Bond Spreads Could Prove Problematic
Western Asset Global High Income Fund offers a high 12.80% yield, higher than both domestic and international fixed-income indices and its peers. The EHI closed-end fund's high yield may signal market doubts about its distribution sustainability, necessitating a review of its financial health and distribution coverage. The fund's portfolio is heavily weighted towards junk bonds, which have outperformed investment-grade bonds recently but may face valuation challenges.

EHI: Discount Opens Up For This Fixed-Income CEF
Western Asset Global High Income Fund (EHI) offers a diversified, leveraged global fixed-income portfolio with exposure to both investment-grade and below-investment-grade holdings. The recent rights offering has pushed EHI to a discount, making it attractive relative to short-term averages but not looking like a great bargain relative to the long term. It delivers a high distribution rate, but there is a lack of coverage, though there is some optimism that coverage can improve going forward based on a lower rate environment.

Building A 10% Income Portfolio Today
Six years ago, I wrote my first article on investing, in which I outlined the criteria that had guided me when constructing my first income portfolio. I have tried to retrace here the steps leading up to that article and then subsequent developments in creating my current portfolio. Today, I favor CEFs and ETFs that, in addition to providing regular income, show a positive NAV performance since inception, thereby demonstrating their ability to also generate value over time.
