PFN: A Good Bond Fund If Bonds Are Even Desired In Your Portfolio
The PIMCO Income Strategy Fund II offers a high yield of 11.46%, outperforming domestic bond indices but lagging peer closed-end funds. Despite recent strong performance, the fund's future performance may be challenged if developed market central banks are forced to take greater measures to control rates. The fund employs leverage to boost returns but maintains a reasonable level of risk, with leverage at 15.55% of its portfolio.

PIMCO Update | Sept 2024 | Muni Coverage Jumps (Maybe), Taxables See Significant ATM Benefit
The best taxable closed-end funds are PHK, PFN, and at slightly cheaper valuations, PDI and PCN; best munis are PMF, NY funds, and PCK in CA. Distributions are safe due to funds monetizing premiums via at-the-market offerings, supplementing net investment income. Coverage ratios for muni CEFs may be overstated; future UNII reports will clarify the impact of new leverage costs.

PFN: Making Intelligent Moves With Its Portfolio, But Doesn't Deserve A Premium
PIMCO Income Strategy Fund II offers a high yield of 11.98%, above the median for similar funds. The PFN closed-end fund has underperformed the domestic bond indices over the past few weeks, as well as over longer periods of time. The fund is positioning itself for potential interest rate cuts, but its premium valuation may not be justified given its historical performance.
