CEF Weekly Review: Not Everything Is An Arbitrage
We review the CEF market valuation and performance through the third week of August and highlight recent market action. CEFs had a strong week, with most sectors finishing in the green, supported by lower Treasury yields. Tortoise plans to merge three MLP-focused CEFs into a new ETF, potentially eliminating discounts but don't call it an arbitrage.

PCF's Rights Offer, Tender Offer, Or Both? What's Going On H...
High Yield Securities has recently declared a "Rights Offering" which, on its face, doesn't appear all that enticing. The Offering contains a price discount described in a complex formula; but you can buy shares at the same price in the market, so why bother with the rights offering? When we read the fine print, we see a silver lining; the Rights Offering is a "prelude" to what looks to be a more attractive Tender Offer later on.

PCF: This Unique CEF Has Improved A Lot Over The Past 6 Mont...
The High Income Securities Fund offers a high current yield of 11.64%, which compares reasonably well to most of its peers. The fund's share price has been relatively flat over the past few months, but most of its total returns come from the distributions that are paid out. The fund's asset allocation includes a significant weighting in other closed-end funds, and it has recently reduced its holdings in business development companies.

PCF: A High Income Securities Fund In Decline

The fund's strategy is to acquire CEFs and BDCs that pay regular distributions at attractive discounts, with a small allocation to SPACs.

The High Income Securities Fund (HIX) is a closed-end fund that focuses on generating high income through investments in closed-end funds, business development companies, and other high-yielding investment management firms. The fund's current yield of 11.07% is in line with many fixed-income closed-end funds in the market, but it is not a fixed-income fund. The fund's distribution has been declining since 2020, which may be a concern for income-seeking investors. The fund's net asset value has a...

PCF: A Good Diversifier For An Income Portfolio, But Distrib...
High Income Securities Fund offers a remarkable 12.04% yield, but this high yield may indicate an expectation of future reduction. The fund's portfolio consists of common equity securities issued by business development companies, which are quite rare to find in any closed-end fund. The fund's distribution has been inconsistent in the past, and its ability to sustain its current distribution is uncertain.
