NYLI CBRE Global Infrastructure Megatrends Term Fund offers broad global infrastructure exposure, a 9.87% yield, and trades at a 10%+ discount. MEGI's term structure (liquidation by December 2033) provides a potential catalyst for closing the discount, but its total returns lag key peers. I favor Duff & Phelps Utility and Infrastructure Fund for its superior track record, manageable 5.75% yield, and similar deep discount.

NYLI CBRE Global Infrastructure Megatrends Term (MEGI) is downgraded to a sell due to persistent underperformance versus peers despite a 10.9% yield. MEGI's strategy targets decarbonization, digital transformation, and asset modernization, but its heavy utilities exposure and leverage amplify rate sensitivity and price erosion. Despite trading at a 9.89% discount to NAV, MEGI's discount reflects poor performance, not a compelling buying opportunity, especially relative to ASGI and DPG.
