PFN: Likely To Suffer Declining NII, But Still Trading At A Premium
The PIMCO Income Strategy Fund II offers a high yield of 11.63%, though it lags behind the peer median yield of 11.95%. Despite the recent bond market weakness, the fund managed a 1.54% total return since October due to its high distributions, outperforming several bond indices. The fund's exposure to floating-rate securities will almost certainly lead to falling net investment income should the Fed and ECB continue to cut rates as projected.

PIMCO CEF Update: Muni CEF Coverage Mystery Is Solved, Sort Of
PIMCO Muni CEF distribution coverage levels have sharply fallen to around 80%, correcting previously inflated figures likely due to calculation errors. Taxable PIMCO CEFs delivered strong returns, with PAXS and PDO benefiting from the CMBS market recovery, and PGP supported by its equity sleeve. Further NAV falls may pressure future distributions due to lack of retained income.

PFN: A Good Bond Fund If Bonds Are Even Desired In Your Portfolio
The PIMCO Income Strategy Fund II offers a high yield of 11.46%, outperforming domestic bond indices but lagging peer closed-end funds. Despite recent strong performance, the fund's future performance may be challenged if developed market central banks are forced to take greater measures to control rates. The fund employs leverage to boost returns but maintains a reasonable level of risk, with leverage at 15.55% of its portfolio.

PIMCO Update | Sept 2024 | Muni Coverage Jumps (Maybe), Taxables See Significant ATM Benefit
The best taxable closed-end funds are PHK, PFN, and at slightly cheaper valuations, PDI and PCN; best munis are PMF, NY funds, and PCK in CA. Distributions are safe due to funds monetizing premiums via at-the-market offerings, supplementing net investment income. Coverage ratios for muni CEFs may be overstated; future UNII reports will clarify the impact of new leverage costs.
