Amid this backdrop, the analyst shared their closed-end fund (CEF) purchases for January 2026, highlighting opportunities in RQI, RLTY, ETW, PTA, OXLC, EIC, and XFLT. These funds were chosen based on their unique strategies and potential to outperform in a diverse market environment.
Closed-end funds, or CEFs, are structured as publicly traded investment companies that pool investor capital to invest in a specific portfolio of assets. Unlike open-end mutual funds, which can issue unlimited shares, CEFs have a fixed number of shares that trade on the secondary market at prices that may fluctuate based on supply and demand. This structure allows for unique opportunities to capitalize on market inefficiencies.
