Mike Taggart, founder and chief executive at Taggart Fund Intelligence -- a new analytical firm being built to cover closed-end funds -- says that individual investors and financial advisers should move away from their obsession over discounts in closed-end funds, noting that total return and other factors drive long-term satisfaction with a closed-end fund investment. He discusses the factors he is focusing on -- and that he thinks investors should be looking for -- as well as the need for independent fundamental analysis of closed-end offerings that he feels the industry currently lacks.
