The fund appears to have profited somewhat from MicroStrategy and Bitcoin, which is surprising, but rewarding to investors.

CEF Weekly Review: Emerging Market Debt Remains A Tricky Income Holding
We review the CEF market valuation and performance through the third week of November and highlight recent market action. CEFs had a positive week, with most sectors gaining except for higher-quality sectors like Munis and Agencies. MLPs led month-to-date returns with double-digit gains.
