For income investors, closed-end funds remain an attractive investment class that covers a variety of asset classes and promises high distributions and reasonable total returns. Closed-end funds, or CEFs, are generally characterized by higher volatility and deeper drawdowns than the broader market. For these reasons, they are not suited for everyone. In this monthly series, we highlight five CEFs with solid track records, pay high distributions, and offer "excess" discounts. We try to separate the wheat from the chaff using our filtering process to select just five CEFs every month from around 500 closed-end funds.

5 Best CEFs To Buy This Month (July 2023)

Since the pandemic, capital has tended to gravitate towards large-cap stocks during times of market risk aversion, causing the large-cap:small-cap ratio to shift significantly to the upside. Recent economic predictions suggest a lower probability of a US recession, which could improve sentiment towards small-cap stocks and potentially lower the large-cap:small-cap ratio.
