My 9.5% Income Portfolio: Better With Less, But Better
Risk is the probability of a negative event in the future. An abstract concept that is not measurable; otherwise it would not be risk. Ascertaining value is the first step in controlling risk, that is, in reducing the possibility of incurring losses that cannot be predicted in advance. My choice to invest in securities with positive NAV performance over time is a way to try to control risk.

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.

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.

EVT: Monthly Distribution And Attractive Discount
EVT offers a diversified portfolio, including a more hybrid approach to investing in equities and fixed-income allocations. Though the fund tilts to a heavier allocation of equities, and within that sleeve, the fund favors the financial sector, differentiating it from its heavy-tech weighted peers. Capital gains will primarily fund EVT's 7.85% distribution yield, but the Fed cutting rates is beneficial to see their costs of borrowings for leverage ease, which could increase NII coverage.
