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. In this monthly series, we highlight the ten best CEFs with solid track records that pay high distributions and offer "excess" discounts. We try to separate the wheat from the chaff using our filtering process to select 10 CEFs every month from around 500 closed-end funds.

BOSTON , July 16, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- The Taiwan Fund, Inc. (the "Fund") (NYSE: TWN) announced today details regarding its investment performance for the three month period ended May 31, 2025. The Fund reported a net asset value per share of $46.82 as of the close of business on May 31, 2025.

The Taiwan Fund remains very concentrated on 'picks and shovels' tech. Having led the way down in the recent tech selloff, TWN could well outperform on the way back up. A big distribution yield and wider than usual NAV discount add safety margin to the TWN investment case.

The Taiwan Fund has doubled down on ‘picks and shovels' tech. There's more risk, but also more reward if things go right. Fundamentally, the fund checks a lot of boxes here.
