5 Best CEFs This Month: Average Yield Of 10% (February 2025)

Continue To Prefer IIF Vs. IFN As Challenging Conditions For Indian Stocks Remain
Investing in Indian stocks via closed end funds like IFN and IIF offers high yields but comes with valuation risks and potential market corrections. IIF has outperformed IFN over various time periods, benefiting from its smaller size and more nimble management, despite trading at a larger discount to NAV.

Indian Banks To Sustain Higher Leverage Ratios On Growing Capital
Major Indian banks are expected to sustain high leverage ratios, as healthy profits and a rapidly growing economy will help them build buffers. India's economic growth, which slowed to 5.4% year over year in the July–September quarter from 8.1% in the same period in 2023, is expected to recover as most economists expect the government and companies to step up spending in the coming months.
