NEWARK, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--PGIM High Yield Bond Fund, Inc. (NYSE: ISD), PGIM Global High Yield Fund, Inc. (NYSE: GHY) and PGIM Short Duration High Yield Opportunities Fund (NYSE: SDHY) declared today monthly distributions for June, July and August 2026.

PGIM Global High Yield Fund offers global, below-investment-grade fixed income exposure, with a 45% U.S. allocation and over 900 holdings for diversification. GHY trades at a -7.3% discount, which is attractive in absolute terms but narrower than its historical average, limiting deep value opportunities. The fund delivers a high 10.6% distribution yield, though coverage from net investment income is insufficient, requiring reliance on capital gains and derivatives.

The PGIM Global High Yield Fund offers a 10.59% yield with notable international diversification, especially versus high-yield CEF peers. GHY's portfolio is 45% U.S., with meaningful emerging market exposure but limited allocation to local currency bonds. Leverage enhances GHY's yield, and its distribution appears sustainable, with no recent cuts and coverage supported by unrealized gains.

NEWARK, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May monthly distribution payable date of release issued February 27, 2026, should read: 5/29/2026 (instead of 5/31/2026).

Seven high-yield fixed income CEFs—ARDC, BGH, BIT, GHY, KIO, OPP, WDI—currently trade at wider-than-average discounts, offering yields from 10% to 14%. Market fears over private credit and macroeconomic uncertainty have pressured prices, creating potential buying opportunities for long-term income investors. These funds diversify across senior loans, high-yield bonds, CLOs, and MBS, balancing floating and fixed-rate exposure to manage interest rate risk.

The article presents a rigorously screened list of 10 top closed-end funds, or CEFs, for income investors, offering an average 10% plus yield and 10.8% 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.

PGIM Global High Yield Fund remains a hold as it trades at the higher end of its price-to-NAV range. GHY offers a 10% dividend yield, but inconsistent earnings and reliance on net realized gains create variable coverage and NAV growth. The fund's portfolio is 88.6% below investment grade, making it sensitive to interest rates and credit risk.

PGIM Global High Yield Fund (GHY) offers a 10.14% yield, outperforming major bond indices and most peers on total and real returns. GHY maintains a well-diversified portfolio with only 42.2% U.S. exposure, positioning it to benefit from a weakening U.S. dollar and monetary easing. The fund's distribution is currently covered by investment income and unrealized gains, with net asset value stability suggesting sustainability.

PGIM Global High Yield Fund (GHY) offers global fixed-income exposure with a high 9.6% yield, but dividend sustainability is questionable. GHY trades at a minimal discount to NAV, making current valuation less attractive compared to its historical average discount. The fund relies heavily on below investment grade bonds and leverage, exposing it to default risk and interest rate sensitivity.
