PIMCO CEF Update: Coverage Dead Cat Bounce?

PIMCO taxable CEFs show persistently low distribution coverage, raising the risk of future distribution cuts and potential valuation hits. Current valuations across the PIMCO suite are not attractive, with premiums and tight credit spreads limiting upside potential. Tight credit spreads and a flat yield curve mean limited additional income growth on leverage, even if short-term rates decline as expected by the market.

PFL: Distribution Is Fully Covered, But Hard To Justify The Premium

PIMCO Income Strategy Fund offers a high 11.71% yield, outperforming most fixed-income indices, but faces risks from U.S. dollar devaluation and inflation. The fund's significant exposure to long-dated bonds and limited foreign currency diversification make it vulnerable if inflation accelerates or the dollar weakens further. The fund appears to be missing an opportunity to profit by owning foreign currency bonds. It only has limited exposure to such assets.
