NCV: High Yield And Fully Covered Distribution
The Virtus Convertible & Income Fund offers a high yield of 12.37%, but has struggled with negative real returns and distribution cuts over the past decade. The NCV closed-end fund invests primarily in convertible bonds, which have better inflation protection than traditional bonds, but its management has underperformed relative to indices. Recent performance has been volatile, with a slight gain of 1.46% over ten months, but distributions have helped offset share price declines.
