This Tax-Free 7.8% Dividend Could Soar In 2025

CEF Weekly Review: Muni ROC Is Mountain High
We review the CEF market valuation and performance through the third week of December and highlight recent market action. All CEF sectors declined this week due to a more hawkish Fed, with most discounts widening except for the loan sector. The sharp rise in Municipal CEF distributions this year is disproportionate to net income increases, driven by efforts to tighten discounts and deter activists.

NAD Vs. NXP Revisited: Time To Delever
Nuveen Quality Municipal Income Fund distributions are only about 52% covered by investment income. NAD is also leveraged, which helped returns in 2024 but may not be an advantage going forward as rates are no longer falling as fast. Nuveen Select Tax-Free Income Portfolio is unleveraged and fully covers its dividends with investment income.

NAD: Undercovered Dividend Suboptimal But Not Yet A Reason To Sell
Recent large dividend hikes in Nuveen closed end muni bond funds now have NAD paying out two times what it is earning in investment income. Overdistribution erodes a fund's net asset value and earnings power over time. In the short term, the narrowing discount to NAV and the prospect for declining leverage cost from interest rate cuts make NAD a Hold.
