Unleveraged Options In The Tax-Exempt Sector
Fund-level leverage is only attractive when carry or capital gains potential is high; current tight spreads and an inverted yield curve make it less appealing. For tax-exempt CEFs, higher yields often come from longer duration, not leverage; unleveraged long-duration funds or ETFs can offer similar or better yields. Investors should not assume more leverage is always better; careful, situation-specific exposure to fund-level leverage is key to balancing risk and return.

NUW: Muni Bond Fund Not Funding Distributions With Capital Returns
Nuveen AMT-Free Municipal Value Fund is a closed-end fund focused on AMT-free municipal bonds, making it ideal for high-income investors seeking tax-exempt income. The fund avoids leverage, maintains investment-grade quality, and does not boost distributions with return of capital, ensuring transparency in payouts. NUW's structure shields investors from redemption cascades and offers diversification, but its long duration exposes it to interest rate risk.

The Nuveen AMT-Free Municipal Value Fund is a closed-end fund that provides investors exposure to a diversified pool of municipal bonds.

5 Closed-End Fund Buys In The Month Of September 2024
The broader market indexes continue to hit all-time highs, with broader participation continuing into September. Every month, I add to my positions in my closed-end fund portfolio to grow my cash flow month after month.

The ABCs On CEFs
Closed-end funds offer unique advantages like fixed share numbers, no redemption liquidity issues, and exposure to hard-to-access asset classes, enhancing portfolio diversification. CEFs can trade at significant discounts or premiums to NAV due to supply and demand, unlike mutual funds and ETFs which align closely with NAV. Nuveen's AMT-Free Municipal Value Fund is a low-risk CEF with strong distribution coverage, primarily investing in investment-grade municipal bonds and trading at a discount to NAV.

My Top 10 Closed-End Fund Holdings: August 2024
Closed-end funds overall have seen discounts narrow since the start of the year, but opportunities still exist in certain areas of the market. With increased market volatility more recently, that may lead to discounts widening back out, which could create even more opportunities in this structure. I hold 42 positions in my CEF portfolio, with the top 10 positions making up 37.40% of the portfolio—here's a review of those top 10 names.

5 Closed-End Fund Buys (And 2 Sells) In The Month Of June 2024
June was another month where we saw broader equities hitting new all-time highs. However, that participation was rather narrow as the mega-cap tech names led the way higher. This last month, I added to or initiated positions in five different closed-end fund names; I sold out of two positions this month.

4 Closed-End Fund Buys In The Month Of May 2024
The overall broader indexes were heading higher after April's rather brief and shallow pullback. There was a bit more volatility toward the end of the month, which will be interesting to see if that develops into anything more material. Every month I make some purchases to compound and grow my monthly cash flow over time.
