John Hancock Tax-Advantaged Dividend Income Fund remains a "Buy" due to its strong, steady monthly distribution. HTD's portfolio emphasizes utilities, preferreds, and corporate bonds, benefiting from lower rates and potential AI-driven utility demand. The recent distribution increase brings the yield to 7.57%, with coverage supported by capital gains and easing borrowing costs as the Fed cuts rates.

My closed-end fund portfolio update provides a more concentrated top 10, and that is on the back of a reduction in the number of holdings since last year. I remain leaning toward utility/infrastructure positioning, and that remains an attractive area of the market to generate predictable cash flows. In general, CEF discounts are fairly narrow compared to their historical levels, but the average discount has moved wider, at least slightly.
