Artificial Intelligence is driving a new infrastructure and an internet revolution, demanding massive investment across multiple sectors. Competition is fierce, and market prices are volatile. I prefer a more passive and relaxed approach to profiting from the massive economic activity.

NXG NextGen Infrastructure Income Fund remains a buy, benefiting from AI-driven infrastructure demand and delivering a 38.2% total return over twelve months. NXG offers a 12% monthly dividend yield, recently raised by 11.1%, with payouts supported by excess prior-year earnings and tax-efficient return of capital distributions. The fund's reliance on net realized gains for distributions introduces risks of underperformance and NAV erosion if infrastructure momentum slows or market conditions deteriorate.

The article presents a rigorously screened list of 10 top closed-end funds, or CEFs, for income investors, offering an average 9.8% plus yield and nearly 7.5% NAV discount. Selections emphasize sector diversification, long-term outperformance, sustainable distributions, and attractive valuations, with a focus on both equity and credit-oriented CEFs. CEFs are generally characterized by higher volatility and deeper drawdowns than the broader market. For these reasons, they are not suited for everyone.

NXG NextGen Infrastructure Income Fund remains a buy, but I urge caution given recent strong performance and potential for a sudden reversal. NXG benefits from secular trends like AI data center buildout and grid electrification, with top holdings delivering robust three-year returns and a rising NAV. The fund trades at a 4.8% discount to NAV, yields 12.5% with monthly ROC-heavy distributions, and recently raised its payout by 11%.

Last month saw a significant rebound in the broader equity market, led by strong gains in the Nasdaq Composite. With that, I was a bit more hesitant to add too aggressively, as I had in the previous month when we were in a market correction. That said, there are always some opportunities somewhere, and I took advantage of what I felt were compelling values and a swap trade.

Stocks are surging—but they're also developing a case of “bad breadth.” That is, most of the gains are coming from a small slice of the market (I'm looking at you, tech).
