CEF Weekly Review: Little Point To Stable Managed Distribution Plans
We review the CEF market valuation and performance through the fourth week of June and highlight recent market action. CEFs had a strong week, with all sectors in the green and equity-linked sectors leading; valuations remain above historical averages.

My Income Portfolio: In The Garden Of Eden
Total Return can be misleading if not supported by NAV growth, as it may include unsustainable distributions and Return of Capital. Behavioral finance shows markets are irrational, making it crucial to consider practical aspects beyond theoretical Total Return calculations. I believe that NAV performance can affect our discretion in the reinvestment choices for the distributions we receive from our savings much more than Total Return.
