My 9.5% Income Portfolio CEFs And Classic Cars
Closed-end funds are special income vehicles, with many positive aspects and just as many weaknesses that take time to be properly understood and evaluated. I discovered their existence about ten years ago, and over time, I became convinced of their worth by developing a personal method of selection based mainly on NAV performance. This is an analytical, data-driven approach which I then extended to other types of securities in my portfolio, namely ETFs and BDCs.

PDT: Positive Outlook Driven By Interest Rates
I maintain a buy rating on John Hancock Premium Dividend (PDT) due to its attractive discount to NAV and potential for growth from future interest rate cuts. PDT's portfolio includes solid dividend payers, with significant exposure to banks and utilities, which are sensitive to interest rate changes. The fund's 7.5% dividend yield is appealing for income-focused investors, though sustainability relies on net investment income and net realized gains.
