2 Picks For Monthly Distributions And Participating With Activists
Closed-end funds offer unique opportunities due to the structure, which allows for the share price to swing wildly different from the underlying portfolio value. There are activist groups that specifically target these in a way to take advantage of this feature within the closed-end fund space. On top of that, it also provides significant diversification by investing in already diversified CEFs, and additionally, this can translate into strong monthly distributions.

STEW: A Cheaper Way To Own Berkshire Hathaway
STEW is a solid core holding with a large cap value tilt, with about 40% invested in Berkshire Hathaway and about 10% in J.P. Morgan Chase. The fund's locked-in low-cost fixed leverage below 3% is a significant advantage, driving alpha and outperforming peers. STEW's high discount to NAV, currently at -19.11%, makes it an attractive buy, especially when the discount exceeds 20%.

STEW: Another Distribution Bump For This Year
SRH Total Return Fund offers significant exposure to Berkshire Hathaway, with it making up a 38% concentration. The fund's deep discount and more consistent distribution increases could attract some investors, despite its relatively low distribution rate for a CEF. That said, despite the deep discount, activist pressure on the fund is unlikely to materialize due to a significant concentration of ownership.
