Sprott Focus Trust: Widening Discount And Differentiated Portfolio
Sprott Focus Trust provides investors exposure to a more differentiated portfolio with a more value-oriented approach. The fund is rather narrowly invested, with a more concentrated number of holdings in its portfolio. FUND trades at a wide discount, which is appealing, but the fund regularly trades at a double-digit discount.

5 Best CEFs To Buy This Month (July 2023)
For income investors, closed-end funds remain an attractive investment class that covers a variety of asset classes and promises high distributions and reasonable total returns. Closed-end funds, or CEFs, are generally characterized by higher volatility and deeper drawdowns than the broader market. For these reasons, they are not suited for everyone. In this monthly series, we highlight five CEFs with solid track records, pay high distributions, and offer "excess" discounts. We try to separate the wheat from the chaff using our filtering process to select just five CEFs every month from around 500 closed-end funds.

Sprott Focus Trust is a unique closed-end fund with a value-oriented portfolio and a focus on the materials sector. The fund has outperformed its benchmark, the Russell 3000 Index, in the short and long term, but its current discount is not very appealing.
