My 9.5% Income Portfolio CEFs And Classic Cars
Closed-end funds are special income vehicles, with many positive aspects and just as many weaknesses that take time to be properly understood and evaluated. I discovered their existence about ten years ago, and over time, I became convinced of their worth by developing a personal method of selection based mainly on NAV performance. This is an analytical, data-driven approach which I then extended to other types of securities in my portfolio, namely ETFs and BDCs.

EOS: A Worthy Fund For The Income Investors, 8.5% Yield
The Eaton Vance Enhanced Equity Income Fund II is a closed-end fund that primarily invests in common stocks of high growth companies, offering high income and a high growth potential. For 19-plus years of its existence, the fund has managed a sensible distribution policy, has provided over 10% of annualized total returns, and is currently paying 8.50% in distribution income, paid monthly. We believe it deserves a place in your income portfolio; we would rate the fund as a 'hold' for existing owners and a 'buy' for new investors. However, it may be better to dollar-cost average the buys instead of lump sum.
