MFV: CEF Liquidation Arbitrage Opportunity
MFS Special Value Trust, a closed-end management investment company, has announced its liquidation, providing a rare arbitrage opportunity for retail investors. The closed-end fund is currently trading at a discount to net asset value (-6.4%), which is expected to close as the market prices in the liquidation. Investors can monetize the difference between the fund's NAV and market value, but should be aware of the market risk associated with the equity and fixed income holdings in the fund.
