Mike Taggart, closed-end fund specialist at abrdn, says that the overwhelming majority of closed-end funds were created to generate income -- and built with that in mind -- but that the sector gets a lot of its attention as the result of discounts, and he feels the discount angle is "overplayed," because the investor who focuses on the income gets the discount as a bit of extra yield but the person who wants to capture the discount needs to ride out the market's bumps and bruises to hang on hoping to see the market change and narrow the bargains. Taggart, formerly executive director of the Active Investment Company Alliance, talks deals, discounts and more and how current market conditions are impacting closed-end fund investors.
