FTHY: Worth Monitoring For Term Opportunities
FTHY has seen its discount narrowing further since our last update as we enter into the final couple of years before its potential liquidation. The fund offers a high 10.26% distribution yield, but NII coverage is weak, leading to an ongoing need for capital appreciation to cover or face NAV erosion. FTHY's hybrid portfolio of high-yield bonds and senior loans is highly diversified, but tight high-yield spreads limit the margin of safety.
