VBF: Revisiting This Investment Grade Bond CEF, 5.3% Yield
VBF primarily invests in investment-grade (IG) corporate bonds but has increased its high-yield (HY) exposure to nearly 20%. It lacks leverage, making its risk/reward profile comparable to ETFs like IGEB. VBF's long-term returns closely track those of its peers, particularly PAI. However, despite its exposure to HY bonds, it has not outperformed its IG-only counterparts, suggesting limited value from taking. The fund is trading close to its net asset value (NAV), whereas historical stressed environments have seen it trade at an -8% discount. This suggests limited upside at current valuations.

VBF: High Quality Focused Fixed-Income CEF
Invesco Bond Fund is a closed-end fund with a focus on investing higher up on the credit quality spectrum. It allows some flexibility to below-investment-grade and various fixed-income instruments, but it is predominantly focused on corporate-issued securities. This fund is similar to PAI and could be a decent swap partner; unfortunately, neither is looking like particular bargains currently.
