closed end fund suffering big on Dec 20 2018

ET91

I was just reading Barron's Dec 24 2018 issue (Forsyth article: the worst week in a decade). He mentioned that a big closed-end fund (from one of the largest managers) plummeted on Dec 20 when it crossed its IPO price (he is quoting Steve O'Neill from RiverNorth Capital Management). He wouldn't mention the CEF. Does anyone have any idea which CEF he is talking about? Thanks.

i searched thru all of the cefs that ipo'd that year about 10-15 when the article came out and nothing clicked for me.
Think he was wrong on the year

Not quite low enough, but premium of PIMCO's PDI collapsed about then (Dec 20) - it has since recovered. Maybe a little bit of poetic license?

I actually emailed Mr. Forsyth who graciously returned my email but he wouldn't reveal the CEF. Thanks for the reply Vegomatic.
