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.

Eaton Vance's ETY Is The Cream Of The Option-Income CEF Crop

Don't believe all the negativity surrounding the Eaton Vance Tax-Managed Diversified Equity Income CEF. As a CEF that writes S&P 500 index options against roughly 50% of its $2.1 billion market cap, you can't expect it to outperform in a ramp-up bull market. But as I've said over and over again, once we start getting some volatility in the markets in which no clear trend is established, option-income funds can start to outperform.
