Maury Fertig, chief investment officer at Relative Value Partners, says the market's rebound from a year ago has made it harder to find closed-end issues worth buying and holding now, but he says there are selected opportunities still worth pursuing. He suggested that floating-rate funds and credit funds will continue to perform well, and that closed-end funds still offer value from a discount level, but with discounts narrowing, investors should look at cutting back. He also discusses closed-end funds as an alternative source of yield, why he never buys at a premium and more.
