ADX: Updated Distribution Policy Makes This A Better Choice For Retirees
Adams Diversified Equity Fund focuses on long-term capital appreciation and consistent income through a diversified portfolio of high-quality stocks. The fund is essentially comprised of constituents of the S&P 500, so the portfolio naturally leans heavily towards technology companies. The distribution policy has been updated and investors should be able to experience more consistent quarterly payouts. This increases the appeal for retired investors seeking consistent income.

5 Best CEFs This Month For 9% Yield (December 2024)
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 five 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 just five CEFs every month from around 500 closed-end funds.

ADX: The Last Big One
Adams Diversified Equity Fund (ADX) offers S&P 500-like exposure with a higher distribution yield, currently at a minimum of 8% annual policy implemented earlier this year. The fund's discount remains appealing at a double-digit level but is probably trading at what could be considered the new average given the distribution policy change. Along with the broader equity market continuing to hit new all-time highs as measured by the S&P 500 Index, it would suggest that ADX isn't a particular bargain.
