AIO: Strong Performance For This Hybrid 'AI' Themed Fund
Virtus Artificial Intelligence & Technology Opportunities Fund (AIO) has seen strong performance, driven by a narrowing discount and also AI-related investments. AIO's hybrid approach includes equities, convertibles, and high-yield bonds, making it more diversified but potentially limiting the relative returns. The fund comes with an attractive distribution yield that is paid monthly, which can be appealing to income-oriented investors.

AIO: Nothing Artificial About The Total Return From This High Yield Equity CEF
The AI technology trend has driven significant outperformance for AI-related growth stocks like Nvidia and Microsoft, with closed-end funds like BlackRock Science and Technology Term Trust and Virtus Artificial Intelligence & Technology Opportunities Fund offering high-yield income opportunities. The AIO CEF has delivered nearly 70% total return since August 2022, but I'm downgrading it to a Hold due to lack of NAV discount and potential tech stock volatility. AIO's stable monthly distribution and diversified holdings in tech, healthcare, and financials make it a solid long-term investment, despite potential market corrections.
