8 Closed-End Fund Buys (And 2 Sells) In The Month Of March 2025
This month we got some increased market volatility, allowing me to put some of my cash pile to work in my closed-end fund portfolio. I also sold out of two positions, as they were starting to become on the more expensive side in terms of discounts/premiums. Adding to my positions regularly every month increases my cash flow annually, and even every month it grows.

HQH offers a high dividend yield of 13.6%, making it attractive for income-focused investors, despite potential tax consequences.

HQH's portfolio is heavily concentrated in Biotechnology (64.6%), posing sector-specific risks but also benefiting from projected growth in biotech and healthcare spending.

Aberdeen Or 'abrdn' - Either Way The Coverage Looks A Bit Thin
Closed-end funds offer unique advantages, like buying at discounts and leveraging with institutionally priced debt, making them ideal income-generating vehicles. Cash distributions are key contributors to total return, but it is essential to be sure they are actually covered by fund earnings. Some investors overly prioritize distribution yields, neglecting the importance of considering total return as a whole.

HQH: Not For Income Investors
I maintain a sell rating on the abrdn Healthcare Investors fund due to its incongruence with income investing and managed distribution plans. HQH has underperformed the Nasdaq Biotechnology Index and iShares Biotechnology ETF, highlighting its inability to generate alpha versus more tax-efficient alternatives. The fund's high yield is unsustainable, relying on capital gains and potentially forcing premature sales, which is unsuitable for income-oriented investors.

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.
