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.

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.

High Yield Or Growth? Capture Both With These 2 Quality Picks
Usually, investors can access high yields with limited growth prospects, or relatively low yields with stronger and close to or even above double-digit income growth potential. However, in some instances, by being very selective and thoroughly assessing the fundamentals, it is possible to identify investments that offer both components.

ADX: 8% Distribution Rate Policy And Discount Widening Back Out
The Adams Diversified Equity Fund provides an investor with a pretty plain S&P 500 Index-like exposure in a CEF wrapper. The fund completed a tender offer earlier this year that we were able to take advantage of; they further announced a change in their distribution policy. ADX's new distribution policy provides for a minimum 8% annual payout, smoothing distributions throughout the year, but we could still see a large year-end.
