High-Income Closed-End Funds
Closed-end funds trade on an exchange like ETFs but have a fixed share count, so they can trade at premiums or discounts to net asset value and often use leverage to boost distributions. Many pay monthly and yield 7-12%.

FAQ
Why do closed-end funds trade at a discount?
Because supply and demand for the shares is separate from the value of the holdings. Buying at a wide discount means you receive the fund's income on more assets than you paid for, but discounts can persist for years.
Is a CEF distribution the same as its earnings?
Not necessarily. Many funds have managed distribution policies that include return of capital. Check the fund's Section 19a notices, which break down the sources of each payment.
