BDJ: Successful Tender Offer And Distribution Increase
BlackRock Enhanced Equity Dividend Fund (BDJ) completed its second tender offer, and it was another successful one for those who participated, thanks to a significant portion being accepted. As they were just wrapping up the tender offers and cash was yet to be distributed, they also announced distribution increases on a number of funds, with BDJ being one. The fund's discount had narrowed with these positive moves, which makes the next tender offer unlikely, though the discount has been widening back out with recent market volatility.

BDJ: Fairly Priced Near NAV, Making It A Hold
BlackRock Enhanced Equity Dividend Fund offers a high yield, blending dividend-paying stocks and a covered call strategy, making it attractive for income investors. The fund's historical distribution trend is upward but not steep, with a yield on cost of about 7% or higher over the past decade. BDJ's portfolio focuses on established large caps, particularly in financials and health care, ensuring steady income and modest growth.

11 Closed-End Fund Buys In The Month Of November 2024
This month, I've added to 11 different positions, but most of these were related to repurchases after the BlackRock tender offers. While I added to 11 different positions, these were all positions I had already held previously, so there were no new positions this month. In fact, I sold out of a fund to consolidate my holdings and reduce the number of funds held, as I did last month as well.

9 Closed-End Fund Buys In The Month Of August 2024
The broader equity market saw declines in early August but ended near all-time highs to finish off the month. I put some capital to work this month at the low, but not as much as I had planned initially, as the market swiftly recovered. Most of the moves this month were corporate action-driven events, primarily the BlackRock tender offers, as we finished up the first measurement period.
