BGH: High Yield, Fully Covered Distribution, But Is It A Buy?
Barings Global Short Duration High Yield Fund is a high-yield corporate bond fund that focuses on generating high current income and preserving invested capital. BGH currently offers a very attractive and fully covered 9.25% distribution yield and is currently trading at a small discount of roughly -1.5%, making it a bit expensive. It is probably a good bet to get consistent and fully covered high income from a diversified portfolio of short-duration, high-yield bonds that are relatively less sensitive to interest rates.

BGH: I Like This Barings Global Bond CEF, But The Valuation Is Too Rich
The global high-yield bond market is stable with tight spreads and low default rates, presenting opportunities in funds with low-interest rate sensitivity. Barings Global Short Duration High Yield Fund offers low duration risk and capital preservation, but its current discount to NAV is not so attractive.

5 Best CEFs This Month For Nearly 10% Yield (January 2025)
For income investors, closed-end funds, or CEFs, remain an attractive investment class that covers various asset classes and promises high distributions and reasonable total returns. CEFs are generally characterized by higher volatility and deeper draw-downs than the broader market. For these reasons, they are not suited for everyone.

CEF Weekly Review: Over-Generous Managed Distribution Policies Will Disappoint
We review the CEF market valuation and performance through the third week of November and highlight recent market action. CEFs faced challenges this week due to inflation concerns and higher Treasury yields, with REIT funds underperforming and MLP funds leading month-to-date. Allspring CEFs increased their managed distribution rates, potentially causing NAV drag due to distributions exceeding total NAV returns, risking future distribution cuts.
