WDI: Multisector Coupons In HY
Western Asset Diversified Income offers high current income via an actively managed, multi-sector credit portfolio, using leverage and dynamic asset allocation to capture diverse risk premiums. The fund's structural leverage amplifies both income and NAV volatility, with its performance highly sensitive to funding costs and credit market conditions. Key macro indicators—bank reserves, repo stress, and credit spreads—currently signal a stable environment, supporting the fund's pro-cyclical, credit-focused strategy.

WDI: 11%-Plus Yield On Fixed Income, Monthly Payer
WDI offers broad fixed income exposure and a high yield, but is heavily weighted toward non-investment-grade assets and uses leverage, increasing risk. The fund's current 11.84% yield is attractive, but coverage of distributions has weakened slightly year over year. WDI has outperformed its category in 2025, but trades at a small premium to NAV, above its historical average discount, reducing its value proposition.

4 Closed-End Fund Buys (And A Sell) In The Month Of February 2025
The tech-heavy Nasdaq started to dip toward the end of February, but a strong last trading day of the month rally clawed back some of those losses. The equal-weighted S&P 500, as measured by the Invesco ETF RSP, held up reasonably well thanks to the value sectors putting up some better performance. Every month, I put some cash to work to grow my CEF portfolio income, though I've been allowing my cash pile to also grow over the last year or so.

WDI: Uncertain Outlook Reduces Appeal (Rating Downgrade)
I am downgrading my rating on WDI due to the Fed's hawkish stance, prolonging the high interest rate environment. WDI's portfolio, heavily weighted in below investment grade credit, is sensitive to rising costs of debt and potential defaults, impacting net investment income. The fund's NAV discount has shrunk, reducing its attractiveness. The dividend yield remains high but may not be fully supported by net investment income.

WDI: Attractive Monthly Distribution, But Watching Coverage As Discount Narrows
Western Asset Diversified Income Fund (WDI) is a multi-sector fixed-income CEF that's been performing quite strongly, though with the trade-off of a narrowing discount. WDI's distribution yield is quite attractive at 11.85%, but coverage is tight, and with the Fed cutting rates, that will likely face even more pressure. Alternative multi-sector fixed-income funds are also richly valued, which I believe still makes WDI worth holding despite the less appealing discount and tight distribution coverage.
