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.

The fund has employed a 12% managed distribution as well as being one of the several BlackRock funds to have a discount management program in place.

BMEZ: A 14.2% Yielding CEF With An 11.85% Discount And Activist Pressure
BMEZ trades at an 11.85% discount to NAV, offering a high distribution rate of 14.2% annually, despite high fees and management concerns. The fund focuses on healthcare and technology, with 8.3% in private investments, and employs a call-selling strategy on 23% of its holdings.

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.
