High Risk, Low Return: The Problem With HQH's Biotech Tilt
HQH offers high yields with a biotech and small/mid-cap tilt, but relies on capital payouts, making it less tax-efficient and more volatile. Active management and venture capital-style investing add agility but increase risk, with portfolio holdings changing frequently and a heavy biotech concentration. Total returns have been uninspiring, with NAV erosion, funding payouts, and sector underperformance, especially compared to broader healthcare funds like BME.

HQH: Efficient Fund To Collect Income From Healthcare
I maintain my buy rating on HQH for its high 13.6% yield, strong dividend coverage, and efficient healthcare sector diversification. HQH trades at an 8% discount to NAV, offering an attractive entry point compared to peers, despite recent price declines. The fund is well-positioned to benefit from long-term healthcare sector growth, driven by rising spending and health-conscious trends.

HQH: A Good Balance Of Returns And Risks In The Healthcare Sector
HQH offers a compelling mix of high yield and growth exposure to healthcare, trading at a discount to NAV with recent outperformance versus benchmarks. The fund benefits from strong healthcare industry tailwinds—aging populations and innovation—while active management and share buybacks support narrowing the NAV discount. A robust 13.6% market yield and a fair value estimate 36% above current price highlight significant upside, though distribution sustainability must be monitored.

This month we got some increased market volatility, allowing me to put some of my cash pile to work in my closed-end fund portfolio. I also sold out of two positions, as they were starting to become on the more expensive side in terms of discounts/premiums. Adding to my positions regularly every month increases my cash flow annually, and even every month it grows.
