A Fistful Of Magnificent CEFs

Closed-end funds are a niche market consisting of investment companies that collectively manage assets totaling approximately $250 billion. The number of CEFs currently in the U.S. market is about 340, mainly focused on sectors capable of generating strong cash flows. The reason why most investors are interested in CEFs is because they provide a steady stream of dividends, even though in many cases this comes at the expense of NAV.

10 Best CEFs This Month: Average Yield Of 11% (October 2026)

The article presents a rigorously screened list of 10 top closed-end funds, or CEFs, for income investors, offering an average 10.9% yield and a 7.5% discount to NAV.

MCI: A Great Fund For The Long Term, 8.6% Yield

Barings Corporate Investors offers a 51-year track record, focusing on privately placed, below-investment-grade, floating-rate debt with equity features. The fund's moderate leverage, attractive yield, and excellent past performance make it one of the best bond funds to hold for the long term. Distribution coverage is a concern, with NII covering only 80-85% of payouts; a distribution cut is possible if this trend persists.

How To Potentially Retire In Your 40s

Not everyone wants to or needs to retire early. After all, a 9-5 day job brings steady income, a sense of purpose and discipline, and keeps one engaged in physical and mental activity. Still, one size does not fit all. There would be many folks who like the idea of retiring from a 9-5 job in their 40s or early 50s and pursuing something they have always dreamt about. We will discuss what it really takes to retire early and how to go about investing for early retirement, also known as FIRE (Financially Independent Retire Early).

My Income Portfolio: The Knight's Move

Inspired by the horse race in the 2026 Palio di Siena, I made a financial move that I hope will be just as clever as the knight's move in chess. I decided to close out two positions in my Cupolone portfolio that I wasn't entirely convinced about, raising cash to reinvest when the opportunity arises. The purpose of this move is to use this liquidity in securities with better overall NAV performance and a greater likelihood of long-term success.

Barings Corporate Investors: Best In Class, Now Priced To Buy Again

Barings/Mass Mutual's two "high yield bond" funds - MCI and MPV - are among the best in the business, and their records clearly show it. A couple years ago the market "discovered" them, and drove premiums to unreasonable levels. Now, partly thanks to the "private credit" panic, these two funds are attractively priced again.

My Income Portfolio: The Music Of Dividends

A note is the basic element of musical language: each one represents a sound, and through their combination music takes shape. As with notes on a staff, infinite are the combinations of financial instruments through which investors' portfolios take shape. My current portfolio consists of 28 securities that play a music generated by the flow of dividends against the backdrop of a rising NAV for most of them.

My Income Portfolio-Boosting Returns

The risk-return tradeoff is the financial principle according to which potentially higher returns require accepting higher risk. Risk is the potential for monetary loss or default stemming from market volatility, excessive debt, or unexpected economic downturns. When it comes to volatility, the main culprit is often leverage—the use of borrowed money to fund investments with the goal of multiplying returns.
