This month's top 10 closed-end funds (CEFs) offer an average yield of 9.5% and strong long-term performance across diverse asset classes. For income investors, closed-end funds remain an attractive investment class that covers various asset classes and promises high distributions and reasonable total returns. Closed-end funds, or CEFs, are generally characterized by higher volatility and deeper drawdowns than the broader market. For these reasons, they are not suited for everyone.

LMP Capital and Income Fund offers a 9.7% yield, focusing on income generation through a diversified asset mix, but has underperformed recently. SCD trades at an 8.68% discount to NAV, yet remains near the higher end of its historical price-to-NAV range, making accumulation less attractive. Earnings are inconsistent, with recent net investment income declines and reliance on realized gains, impacting NAV growth and dividend sustainability.
