GOF: Distribution May Be Under Threat If There Are No Improvements
Guggenheim Strategic Opportunities Fund operates as a closed end fund that generates its earnings through a mixed portfolio of fixed income assets and equities. The large 13.8% dividend yield makes GOF appealing for income investors, but I question the sustainability of the distribution due to weak coverage. GOF has outperformed the S&P 500 with a 37% YTD return through a combination of price appreciation and high income.

Building A 10% Income Portfolio Today
Six years ago, I wrote my first article on investing, in which I outlined the criteria that had guided me when constructing my first income portfolio. I have tried to retrace here the steps leading up to that article and then subsequent developments in creating my current portfolio. Today, I favor CEFs and ETFs that, in addition to providing regular income, show a positive NAV performance since inception, thereby demonstrating their ability to also generate value over time.

Closed-End Funds: 2024 Revisit Of Funds That Never Cut Distributions With Inception Pre-2008
Closed-end funds tend to cut their payouts over time due to negative consequences of leverage during market crashes, leading to potential permanent capital destruction. Today, we are looking to revisit the six funds that have inceptions prior to the 2008/09 Global Financial Crisis that have still never cut their regular distributions. A long history of no-cuts can be important for income-focused investors, but we also examine coverage and valuations to determine whether they are worth exploring further.

GOF: Rethinking Opportunistic Credit, Despite Heavy Payouts (Downgrade)
The Guggenheim Strategic Opportunities Fund has been praised for its double-digit dividends, but I am now limiting my stake in GOF and phasing it out of my CEF portfolio. GOF is a mixed bag of assets with a growing allocation to stocks, and it has performed well against its benchmark. Recent performance has been spurred on by a rise in premium, and the trade I recommended in November has come to a close.

Downgrading Guggenheim Strategic Opportunities Fund From A Buy To A Sell At $14.70
The Guggenheim Strategic Opportunities Fund has been performing well at market price so far this year, up 17%, but its NAV performance has been extremely underwhelming comparatively. As a result, GOF is now at the top of my list of CEFs that have seen their market price far outperform their NAV, which is a red flag near term. With GOF back to a 20%-plus premium and an NAV only up 1.5% year-to-date, GOF is extremely overpriced and will have a hard time covering its 18.0% NAV yield.

GOF: Why I'm Still Passing On The 16.17% Yield
The Guggenheim Strategic Opportunities Fund trades at a 10% premium over its net asset value and has a current distribution rate of 16.17%. The fund typically trades at a premium, but its premium has decreased recently, coinciding with a sizeable drawdown in fixed income. The fund's portfolio consists mostly of corporate exposures and has a healthy allocation to bank loans, but it is fading government exposure.

GOF: Valuation Comes Down (Rating Upgrade)
Guggenheim Strategic Opportunities Fund and Gabelli Utility Trust have struggled since our prior coverage. The GOF closed-end fund's valuation has improved but still lacks distribution coverage, making it susceptible to future losses but not enough to warrant a "Sell." A distribution cut for GOF is still an overhanging risk, but after the valuation deflation, the risk should be more muted.
