VANCOUVER, British Columbia, May 14, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Entrée Resources Ltd. (TSX:ETG; OTCQB:ERLFF – the “Company” or “Entrée”) has today filed its interim financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026.

Last month saw a significant rebound in the broader equity market, led by strong gains in the Nasdaq Composite. With that, I was a bit more hesitant to add too aggressively, as I had in the previous month when we were in a market correction. That said, there are always some opportunities somewhere, and I took advantage of what I felt were compelling values and a swap trade.

The article presents a rigorously screened list of 10 top closed-end funds, or CEFs, for income investors, offering an average 9.5% plus yield and nearly 8% NAV discount. Selections emphasize sector diversification, long-term outperformance, sustainable distributions, and attractive valuations, with a focus on both equity and credit-oriented CEFs. CEFs are generally characterized by higher volatility and deeper drawdowns than the broader market. For these reasons, they are not suited for everyone.

Closed-end funds can offer relatively unique opportunities by trading at discount/premium levels. We target not only funds at deep discounts but also those that are trading at relatively historically deep discounts. Today, we are looking at two recent opportunities that have popped up, and they also provide monthly distributions that are "boosted" due to their discounts.

Eaton Vance Tax-Advantaged Global Dividend Income Fund offers a 7.6% yield and now trades at a 10.14% discount to NAV. ETG's dividend is well-supported by earnings, but NAV growth lags peers due to generous payouts and reliance on realized gains. The fund's global, value-oriented portfolio is diversified by region and sector, with leverage amplifying both returns and downside risk.

Eaton Vance Tax-Advantaged Global Dividend Income Fund remains a "Hold" as its discount narrows and equity valuations appear stretched. ETG's recent outperformance stems from both strong underlying portfolio returns and discount narrowing. The fund invests in both U.S. and global equities, delivering a monthly distribution at a current rate of 6.61%.

Eaton Vance's top taxable closed-end funds offer attractive yields, discounts to NAV, and strong long-term returns, making them appealing for income-focused investors. Current market volatility has widened discounts to NAV, creating buying opportunities which I highlight in the article. I prioritize funds trading at an 8%+ yield and significant NAV discounts, with a preference for those using tax-advantaged strategies and diversified asset mixes.

Eaton Vance Tax-Advantaged Global Dividend Income Fund offers global diversification, strong monthly distributions, and a value-oriented tilt. ETG currently trades at a narrow discount, prompting a continued "Hold" rating. The fund offers a healthy 7.29% distribution yield, with coverage bolstered by capital gains and a relatively high net investment income coverage ratio.

The Eaton Vance Tax-Advantaged Global Dividend Income Fund offers a 7.23% yield from a global equity portfolio, appealing to income-focused investors. ETG underperforms peers on yield but stands out for strong long-term total returns, ranking second-best in its category over the past decade. The fund's global diversification and underweight to U.S. equities position it to benefit from a weaker dollar and attractive foreign market valuations.

Eaton Vance Tax-Advantaged Global Dividend Income Fund is a closed-end fund that invests globally in the equity of U.S. and non-U.S. companies and, to a lesser extent, in preferred and fixed-income securities. What makes this fund attractive for income investors is that it is highly diversified with global exposure and has proven to provide sustainable income in good times and bad. For existing holders, ETG is a solid 'hold' for a reliable stream of income and decent growth. New investors should accumulate on a dollar-cost-average basis.
