EVV: Attractive Distribution Rate, But Valuation Isn't Appealing
EVV's discount has narrowed, driving attractive total returns, but it's less appealing now compared to earlier in the year. The fund's leverage is quite high, which can drive strong returns during the good times but can also work against the fund during the bad. EVV's managed 9% distribution policy adjusts monthly based on NAV, providing some predictability as NAV can be watched to see what direction the distribution would head in.

EVV: This 9%-Yielding CEF Is Smartly Reducing Its Interest-Rate Risk
The Eaton Vance Limited Duration Income Fund offers a high level of current income with a yield of 9.57%. The fund invests in low-duration assets, which have lower interest rate risk and are more attractive in the current yield curve environment. The fund has outperformed major bond indices and delivered a 2.40% gain year-to-date, but its total return of 5.77% since January 2024 is not as attractive as some equity funds.

Building A 10% Income Portfolio Today
Six years ago, I wrote my first article on investing, in which I outlined the criteria that had guided me when constructing my first income portfolio. I have tried to retrace here the steps leading up to that article and then subsequent developments in creating my current portfolio. Today, I favor CEFs and ETFs that, in addition to providing regular income, show a positive NAV performance since inception, thereby demonstrating their ability to also generate value over time.
