5 Best CEFs This Month For Yields Up To 13% (July 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. Closed-end funds, or CEFs, are generally characterized by higher volatility and deeper drawdowns than the broader market. For these reasons, they are not suited for everyone. In this monthly series, we highlight five CEFs with solid track records that pay high distributions and offer "excess" discounts. We try to separate the wheat from the chaff using our filtering process to select just five CEFs every month from around 500 closed-end funds.

KIO: Price Run Has Decreased Appeal Here (Rating Downgrade)
KIO offers a high 11.6% yield and monthly income, but its discount to NAV has narrowed, making entry less attractive now. The fund's heavy exposure to below-investment-grade borrowers and rising default rates heighten risk, especially in a prolonged high-interest environment. KIO's NAV has struggled to recover post-pandemic, and increased competition in private credit could push management toward riskier loans.

KIO: Solid Results And Distribution But Still Cautious
KKR Income Opportunities Fund offers a high-yield through a diversified portfolio of lower-quality investments managed by experienced KKR & Co. Despite the attractive distribution rate, KIO's leverage and lower-quality portfolio increases volatility, and we've seen significant drawdowns during downturns. Earlier this year they closed on a merger with INSI, increasing the size of the fund and potentially enhancing liquidity with increased trading volume.

KIO: High Yield Fund, Fully Covered Distribution, Currently Yielding 10% Plus
KKR Income Opportunities Fund is a high-yield fixed-income fund that focuses on generating high current income. Its investment portfolio consists of floating-rate bank loans and high-yield bonds. KIO currently offers a very attractive and fully covered 11.6% distribution yield and is currently trading at a small discount of roughly -4.3%. However, there are some risks involved, and the fund may get even cheaper depending on the direction of interest rates. There is also some risk of dividend reduction, but it should be minor.
