The Clough Global Equity Fund offers a high yield of 10.50%, which is higher than most of its peers and will likely appeal to income-seeking investors. The GLQ closed-end fund primarily invests in equity securities, which may be more beneficial in combating inflation compared to fixed-income securities. The fund has a higher level of American exposure than its peers, so it is not as good of a choice for those who are looking for global diversification.
