PTA: Discount Narrows But Fund Positioned To Benefit From Lower Rates
Cohen & Steers Tax-Advantaged Preferred Securities and Income Fund provides investors exposure to a portfolio of preferred and other income-focused securities. PTA looks better in a lower-rate environment, and we've already seen the fund recovering meaningfully from its lows last year; total returns were helped even further by the discount narrowing. The fund provides investors with an attractive ~7.7% distribution rate and should see income coverage improve as the Fed cuts rates.

PTA: This CEF Spent Down Its Cash Position To Profit From The Preferred Rally
The Cohen & Steers Tax-Advantaged Preferred Securities and Income Fund offers a 7.68% yield, higher than the major fixed-income indices, which provides substantial income for investors. Despite a 16.77% decline in share price over three years, the fund's large distributions significantly boost total returns, showing the power of high yields. The fund's cash holdings fell significantly after October of last year, suggesting that it bought into the rally in preferred stock.

5 Closed-End Fund Buys (And 2 Sells) In The Month Of June 2024
June was another month where we saw broader equities hitting new all-time highs. However, that participation was rather narrow as the mega-cap tech names led the way higher. This last month, I added to or initiated positions in five different closed-end fund names; I sold out of two positions this month.

PTA And FLC: Exposure To Preferred Securities And Monthly Distributions
Cohen & Steers Tax-Advantaged Preferred Securities and Income Fund and Flaherty & Crumrine Total Return Fund have been performing well as rates have stabalized. PTA has outperformed FLC in terms of total NAV and share price returns over the last three years thanks partly to being hedged. Both funds are leveraged and may benefit from future rate cuts, but it is FLC that could potentially see the greater rebound.

PTA: Remains A 'Buy' At An Attractive Valuation
Cohen & Steers Tax-Advantaged Preferred Securities and Income Fund remains an attractive place to invest in the preferred space. The fund has experienced volatility due to leverage and exposure to convertible contingency securities, but its total NAV returns have held up well. PTA's distribution yield is 8.73%, but NII coverage is low and capital gains have not fully offset the decline in net investment income.

My Top 10 Closed-End Fund Holdings: December 2023
I have a total of 41 positions in my closed-end fund portfolio, with the top ten positions making up 36.52% of the portfolio. We have four new names making their way to my top ten list since the prior update, but three were already positions that have simply grown to be larger allocations. Closed-end funds overall look to be a place of opportunity as discounts remain historically wide across both equity and fixed-income-focused funds.

PTA: Some Improvements, But Shares Are Not As Attractively Priced
Cohen & Steers Tax-Advantaged Preferred Securities and Income Fund has an 8.65% current yield, but other fixed-income closed-end funds offer higher yields. The fund's shares have outperformed the fund's portfolio in recent months, but it is still trading at a discount. The fund failed to cover its distribution in the most recent reporting period, but it appears to be overcoming this problem lately.
