I'LL BE BACK

Often an income investor favorite, 2021 continues to be an interesting year for PIMCO’s lineup of big-distribution, monthly-pay, fixed-income closed-end funds (CEFs). For example, we’ve seen the launch of a new winner, a distribution cut from a perennial favorite, and now an imminent merger and sharply declining premiums

As mentioned, the 8 high-income CEFs we currently own are included within our 38-position Income Equity Portfolio (along with an attractive mix of additional high-income opportunities, including big-dividend REITs, BDCs, common equities and others). All the details are available to members of Big Dividends PLUS. And we are currently offering a rare 20% discount to all new subscribers.
