WIA: A CEF To Navigate Higher Inflation And Market Uncertainty
WIA offers an attractive 7.5% yield and monthly payouts, making it appealing for income-focused investors seeking inflation protection and market volatility offset. The fund trades at a 9.2% discount to NAV, with share price suppressed by high interest rates, presenting a potential recovery opportunity if rates are cut. Dividend sustainability is a concern due to recent weak earnings, but distributions have remained stable, supported by net investment income and realized gains.
