Nov. 14, 2016 3:59 PM ETFRA, JLS, PHD, EVGBy: Stephen Alpher, SA News Editor
  • Relative Value Partners founder Maury Fertig names two floating-rate bond funds which should be able to adjust as rates rise, but find themselves trading at discounts to NAV: BlackRock Floating Rate Strategies (NYSE:FRA) and Pioneer Floating Rate Trust (NYSE:PHD).
  • Then there's two  short-duration funds which should be plenty stable thanks to their low duration, but also trade at sizable discounts: Eaton Vance Short Duration Diversified Income Fund (NYSE:EVG) - a 1.3 year duration, a yield of 8.2%, and selling at a 12% discount to NAV. Nuveen Mortgage Opportunity Trust (NYSE:JLS) - a 6% yield and selling at an 8% discount.
