ETY: Nearly 8% Income Yield, Long-Term Growth, But Expensive
The Eaton Vance Tax-Managed Diversified Equity Income is a closed-end fund that primarily invests in large capitalized high-growth equity holdings. It also utilizes call overlay on nearly 60% of its portfolio. ETY offers an attractive 7.8% distribution yield and is currently trading at a small discount of roughly 1%. It is a reasonably good bet on getting consistent high income and still nearly matching the total returns of the S&P500 over the long term.

5 Best CEFs This Month For 9% Yield (December 2024)
For income investors, closed-end funds remain an attractive investment class that covers various asset classes and promises high distributions and reasonable total returns. Closed-end funds, or CEFs, are generally characterized by higher volatility and deeper drawdowns than the broader market. For these reasons, they are not suited for everyone. In this monthly series, we highlight five CEFs with solid track records that pay high distributions and offer "excess" discounts. We try to separate the wheat from the chaff using our filtering process to select just five CEFs every month from around 500 closed-end funds.

ETY: Decent Performance, But Portfolio Remains Very Concentrated
The Eaton Vance Tax-Managed Diversified Equity Income Fund offers a 7.83% yield, higher than most domestic equity indices but lower than its peers. The fund has performed well recently, delivering an 8.08% total return, slightly better than the S&P 500 Index's 7.10% over the same period. The fund apparently swapped Walmart for Allstate, which cost its portfolio some performance over the most recent period.
