NEW YORK, Jan. 02, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- High Income Securities Fund (NYSE: PCF) (the “Fund”) today announced that the Fund's Board of Trustees (the “Board”) has declared the next three monthly distributions under the Fund's managed distribution plan.

High Income Securities Fund offers an 11.3% yield but faces declining NAV and inconsistent earnings, warranting a continued hold rating. PCF's diversified 'fund of funds' approach provides broad income exposure, yet its performance is highly sensitive to interest rate movements and debt market risks. Despite trading at an 11.2% discount to NAV, PCF's reliance on below-investment-grade debt and a challenging rate environment limits its growth prospects.

NEW YORK, Oct. 02, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- High Income Securities Fund (NYSE: PCF) (the “Fund”) has announced that the Fund's Board of Trustees (the “Board”) has declared the next three monthly distributions under the Fund's managed distribution plan.

NEW YORK, July 08, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- High Income Securities Fund (NYSE: PCF) (the “Fund”) has announced that the Fund's Board of Trustees (the “Board”) has declared the next three monthly distributions under the Fund's managed distribution plan. Under the Fund's managed distribution plan, the Fund intends to make monthly distributions to common stockholders at an annual rate of 10% (or 0.8333% per month) for 2025, based on the net asset value of $7.11 of the Fund's common shares as of December 31, 2024.

PCF is a fund of funds CEF holding CEFs, BDCs, and SPACs, but lacks transparency in risk factors breakdowns. Performance lags peers like RIV and CEFS, with only a 44% five-year total return versus 60% and 100%, respectively. Its managed distribution policy is mostly covered, but high payouts and recent market euphoria increase downside risk.

PCF offers a high dividend yield of 11.8%, but recent performance and dividend cuts raise concerns about sustainability and NAV growth. The fund's strategy focuses on assets trading at a discount to NAV, which may include underperforming investments, particularly in BDCs and closed-end funds. The current high interest rate environment negatively impacts PCF's price and earnings, with limited prospects for improvement until rates decrease.
