PCN: The Environment For Bonds Is Breaking Down
PIMCO Corporate & Income Strategy Fund offers a high 10.69% yield, far above peers, but it is confusing how it can actually sustain such a yield. Recent performance has been disappointing, with the PCN fund underperforming benchmarks due to trading at a premium to net asset value. The fund's portfolio is not pure investment-grade; over half is in high-yield and emerging market debt, increasing default risks.

PIMCO Update | May 2025 | Valuations Remain Compelling, NAVs Resilient
PIMCO taxable closed-end funds, or CEFs, remain attractive after recent volatility, with PTY and PCN offering compelling value due to compressed premiums and solid fundamentals. Leverage across PIMCO funds is at multi-year lows, reflecting prudent management amid higher borrowing costs and uncertain market conditions. Coverage ratios dropped mainly due to currency moves, but I do not anticipate distribution cuts, especially for muni CEFs, given historical resilience.

My Income Portfolio: Financial Awareness
The essence of financial awareness is to realize that money can work for us through our investments. Understanding the value of money is the first step toward financial education, which leads to the selection of the most appropriate tools for developing that awareness. In my case, the instruments I have adopted are largely high-income vehicles, with monthly and, in some cases, quarterly distribution.

PCN: Making Smart Moves, But Still Very Expensive
The PIMCO Corporate & Income Strategy Fund offers a high 9.93% yield, and outperformed major fixed-income indices and peers in total return over the past five years. Rising inflation and a potential economic slowdown suggest that bonds may not be the best holding for an investor today. The fund's recent risk-off strategy and reduced corporate bond exposure reflect a cautious approach amid market turbulence and economic uncertainties.

Very Bad News For Closed-End Funds
Closed-end funds offer unique opportunities due to their discount/premium mechanisms, allowing share prices to deviate from net asset value per share in a wild manner. In general, CEFs often provide diverse exposure across equity and fixed-income portfolios, and they even offer exposure to hybrid portfolios, but also allowing for sector-specific exposure. One important note is that not all premiums or discounts indicate a buying or selling opportunity; instead, it can make more sense to examine relative value over historical periods.

My 9.5% Income Portfolio-Like Mosaic Tiles
Our investments, usually conceived and implemented gradually over time, are the pieces of a personal mosaic that form the whole of our assets. One solution for entering the financial markets can be Dollar-Cost Averaging (DCA), a form of investing a constant amount at regular intervals. However, initiating a plan to buy stocks according to the logic of DCA presupposes awareness of the fluctuations in financial markets and their psychological implications.
