ERH: Deep Discount Remains, Making This An Interesting Choice For Income Investors
Allspring Utilities and High Income Fund offers a rather unique blend of utility stocks and high-yield debt investments under one roof. The ERH closed-end fund has seen respectable returns when compared to its peers over the long run, and it trades at a wider discount—though results against its blended benchmark have been weaker. ERH recently increased its managed distribution policy to 8% from the 7% managed distribution policy the fund had previously, seeing a fairly sizeable lift at the start of this year.

ERH: This Fund Presents An Interesting Opportunity For Income Investors
The Allspring Utilities and High Income Fund is an underfollowed closed-end fund that invests in a 70/30 portfolio of utility equities and junk bonds. The fund has beaten the S&P 500 Index since March on a total return basis, which is impressive for a utility-focused fund. Utilities are probably better than junk bonds for investors due to junk bonds only having a very low after-tax yield in an environment of rising inflation.
