John Cole Scott, president of Closed-End Fund Advisors -- the chairman of the Active Investment Company Alliance -- digs into his data to give a recap of the third quarter for the closed-end fund industry, noting that municipal bond funds and REIT funds particularly took it on the chin, with the entire categories being down during the period by 10 and 7 percent respectively. Business-development companies were the top category based on average returns, but senior loan funds were the can't-miss asset class, with all of the funds there being up in the third quarter.
