AIO: Turning AI Exposure Into Passive Income With Dividends
Virtus Artificial Intelligence & Technology Opportunities Fund offers a balanced portfolio with a 7.4% dividend yield, focusing on tech and income-oriented investments. AIO's reliance on net realized gains and leverage increases its risk profile, especially during market downturns and high-interest rate environments. The fund trades at a premium to NAV, making it potentially overvalued; Columbia Seligman Premium Technology Growth Fund offers a better value proposition.

AIO: Strong Performance For This Hybrid 'AI' Themed Fund

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.
