5 Best CEFs This Month: Average Yield Of 10% (February 2025)
For income investors, closed-end funds remain an attractive investment class that covers various asset classes and promises high distributions and reasonable total returns.

Continue To Prefer IIF Vs. IFN As Challenging Conditions For Indian Stocks Remain
Investing in Indian stocks via closed end funds like IFN and IIF offers high yields but comes with valuation risks and potential market corrections. IIF has outperformed IFN over various time periods, benefiting from its smaller size and more nimble management, despite trading at a larger discount to NAV. Indian stock market valuations remain high, with local investor enthusiasm potentially waning due to less attractive earnings yields compared to local bonds.

Indian Banks To Sustain Higher Leverage Ratios On Growing Capital
Major Indian banks are expected to sustain high leverage ratios, as healthy profits and a rapidly growing economy will help them build buffers. India's economic growth, which slowed to 5.4% year over year in the July–September quarter from 8.1% in the same period in 2023, is expected to recover as most economists expect the government and companies to step up spending in the coming months.
