Income-Covered Closed-End Fund Report, August 2026
Quantitative screens highlight CEFs trading at wide discounts, negative z-scores, and high yields, offering both value and income potential. Metrics like premium/discount, coverage, leverage, and z-score are used to shortlist funds for further due diligence, not as final buy/sell recommendations.

Income-Covered Closed-End Fund Report, May 2026
We screen ~400 closed-end funds for full distribution coverage, prioritizing funds with coverage above 100% to reduce risk of distribution cuts. Top Income-Covered CEFs trading at wide discounts, like BGX and VFL, offer both high yields and potential for price appreciation if discounts narrow. Funds with the most negative z-scores, such as JHI and FMY, are trading below their historical average discounts, highlighting potential value opportunities.

The Income-Covered Closed-End Fund Report screens for CEFs with distribution coverage exceeding 100%, targeting funds less likely to cut payouts.

PAI: Discount Widens To Make It Once Again An Attractive Choice (Upgrade)
Western Asset Income Fund offers primarily investment-grade corporate bond exposure and is also non-leveraged, positioning it as a conservative CEF option. PAI's share price has dropped rather sharply, widening its discount to 7.32%, making the current valuation more attractive for risk-averse investors who still want some yield. The fund maintains strong distribution coverage, with NII coverage at ~108% and a 5.19% yield, supported by rising net investment income and no leverage-related headwinds.
