FYI: For the month, 87% of all closed-end funds (CEFs) posted net-asset-value (NAV)-based returns in the black, with 89% of equity CEFs and 85% of fixed income CEFs chalking up returns in the plus column. For the second month in three, Lipper’s domestic equity CEFs macro-group (+2.03%) outpaced its two equity-based brethren: mixed-asset CEFs (+1.07%) and world equity CEFs (+1.04%). For the second month in three, the Energy MLP CEFs classification (+4.74%) outperformed all other equity classifications, followed by Natural Resources CEFs (+2.93%) and Utility CEFs (+2.66%).
