EHI: Discount Opens Up For This Fixed-Income CEF

Western Asset Global High Income Fund (EHI) offers a diversified, leveraged global fixed-income portfolio with exposure to both investment-grade and below-investment-grade holdings. The recent rights offering has pushed EHI to a discount, making it attractive relative to short-term averages but not looking like a great bargain relative to the long term. It delivers a high distribution rate, but there is a lack of coverage, though there is some optimism that coverage can improve going forward based on a lower rate environment.

I have tried to retrace here the steps leading up to that article and then subsequent developments in creating my current portfolio. Today, I favor CEFs and ETFs that, in addition to providing regular income, show a positive NAV performance since inception, thereby demonstrating their ability to also generate value over time.
