I prefer OPP's preferred equity due to the mandatory 200% asset coverage ratio, which provides a strong layer of safety for investors. Preferred dividends are well covered by net investment income, and the current asset coverage ratio stands at a healthy 281%. Series B preferred shares offer a higher yield (6.5%) than Series A, with minimal call risk, making them the more attractive option right now.

RiverNorth/DoubleLine Strategic Opportunity Fund offers a high 13.33% yield but faces significant risks from leverage, declining rates, and macroeconomic headwinds that may impact small business loans. The fund's heavy allocation to floating-rate loans and small business debt could suffer if rates fall and trade tensions escalate, increasing default risk. OPP's high fees, underperformance versus peers, and declining distributions further weaken its investment appeal compared to similar closed-end funds.

RiverNorth/DoubleLine Strategic Opportunity Fund offers a standout 13.33% yield, far exceeding most fixed-income and peer funds, making it attractive for income seekers. Despite high yields, the fund has a history of distribution cuts and struggles to fully cover payouts, risking further reductions and eroding net asset value. The portfolio is heavily weighted toward debt securities, limiting capital appreciation potential and exposing investors to risks from U.S. dollar weakness and inflation.

RiverNorth/DoubleLine Strategic Opportunity Fund offers a high 13.6% dividend yield, blending debt investments to provide consistent monthly income, appealing to income-seeking investors. OPP's performance is hindered by high interest rates, with a 37.2% price decline over five years, despite a 29% total return including distributions. The fund's diversified debt strategy includes MBS, small business loans, and leveraged investments, but high leverage and interest rate sensitivity pose significant risks.
