CEF Weekly Commentary | December 10, 2023 | High Quality Opportunities
Stocks were up slightly as the jobs report shifted the narrative towards 'higher for longer.' The payroll report came in stronger than expected, but the narrative was that it was a hawkish report, meaning higher rates for longer. Discounts for CEFs continue to tread water, with real estate and interest rate-sensitive bond sectors performing well, while emerging market equity and convertibles performed poorly.

Leverage and discounts/premiums in CEFs add volatility to consider when investing in these funds, which would otherwise be for more conservative investors. Besides the higher yields, when rates decline investment-grade funds should see a significant rebound, adding a catalyst for potential upside and 'locking in' higher yields now.
