KTF: There Isn't Value Here Prior To Termination
KTF's long-term performance is underwhelming, with declining NAV and distributions failing to cover payouts, signaling fundamental flaws in its income strategy. The fund's aggressive leverage in a high interest rate environment further erodes returns and makes a turnaround before its 2026 liquidation highly unlikely. The current discount to NAV is minimal, and recent distribution increases are unsustainable, as payouts exceed actual earnings and accelerate NAV decay.
