The Gabelli Healthcare & WellnessRx Trust is an underperforming equity closed-end fund (CEF) focused on healthcare stocks. GRX has a -19% discount to net asset value, but has traded at very substantial discounts for the past five years. The fund employs a 27% leverage ratio, which has hampered its performance in 2023.

The Gabelli Healthcare & Wellness Rx Trust seeks to provide capital gains and income from a portfolio of healthcare and wellness-focused stocks. The fund pays an attractive 6.1% distribution yield that is well funded by its long-term 5-7% total returns. However, compared to peer funds, the GRX fund has much higher expenses, lower total returns, and higher portfolio volatility. I would personally seek healthcare exposure elsewhere.

The Gabelli Healthcare & Wellness Rx Trust generates above-average yield and is available at a huge discount. However, its annual average total return over the past five years is not that high. Aging demographics and adoption of new medical products and services has started delivering long-term growth for healthcare firms for quite some time.

If you compare GRX to other healthcare peers, it has underperformed. However, GRX isn't focused solely on healthcare, so its portfolio has a bit more flexibility.
