USA: Losing Its Steam Due To Macro-Uncertainty (Rating Downgrade)

USA offers a high 10% yield and tax-efficient distributions, appealing to income-focused investors, but relies solely on portfolio growth for payouts. The fund now trades at a 3.4% discount to NAV, wider than its historical average, reflecting recent underperformance and market uncertainty. USA underperforms broad market ETFs over the long term, as its distribution policy limits capital appreciation and may not suit growth-oriented investors.

USA: Nearly 9% Income, Narrow Discount And Decent Long-Term Performance

Liberty All-Star Equity Fund offers high income (nearly 9% yield) via a managed 10% NAV distribution but lags S&P 500 in total returns. The fund is diversified, uses no leverage, and is managed by five sub-advisors blending growth and value styles, with 90% U.S. exposure. USA trades at a slight discount to NAV, but its aggressive payout policy limits NAV growth, especially in prolonged downturns.

USA: A Historical Underperformer, But Value-Orientation Might Be Appealing

The Liberty All-Star Equity Fund offers a high 9.20% yield, significantly above major American equity indices, making it attractive for income-seeking investors. Despite its high yield, the fund has underperformed the S&P 500 Index over the past 30 years, which is disappointing considering that some of its peers consistently beat it. The fund's unique structure with multiple managers and a 60/40 value-to-growth split provides diversification but has contributed to its underperformance compared to peers.
