Eaton Vance Closed-End Funds Release Estimated Sources of Distributions

The U.S. equity market has outperformed international markets for an extended period of time, going back to around the Global Financial Crisis. Diversifying with global investments can be beneficial; relative valuations between the U.S. market and the international counterparts have been getting quite extended. Today, we look at two closed-end funds that have the added flexibility of investing with a global tilt but also having meaningful U.S. exposure.

EXG And ETG: 2 Global Funds At Attractive Discounts

Goldman Sachs predicts average annual S&P 500 returns of 3% over the next decade, prompting a defensive portfolio stance with reliable, tax-efficient income streams.

The Eaton Vance Tax-Advantaged Global Dividend Income Fund is currently trading at a deep and attractive discount, making it a potential option for long-term investors. The fund focuses on holding a mostly equity portfolio with a global tilt, which can have some benefits for diversification purposes. The fund is leveraged, and they could benefit from rate cuts as that would ease the costs of their borrowings; however, leverage also comes with greater risks.

Closed-end funds overall have seen discounts narrow since the start of the year, but opportunities still exist in certain areas of the market. With increased market volatility more recently, that may lead to discounts widening back out, which could create even more opportunities in this structure. I hold 42 positions in my CEF portfolio, with the top 10 positions making up 37.40% of the portfolio—here's a review of those top 10 names.

My Top 10 Closed-End Fund Holdings: August 2024

Eaton Vance Tax-Advantaged Global Dividend Income Fund offers high income without sacrificing equity upside potential or inflation protection. The ETG closed-end fund invests primarily in dividend-paying stocks from around the world. The fund claims to be investing in things that pay dividends qualifying for favorable income tax treatment, but the distribution is mostly long-term capital gains.

ETG: Higher Turnover Than Expected, But Still A Worthy 8%-Yielding Equity Fund

Eaton Vance Tax-Advantaged Global Dividend Income Fund has performed well this year due to strong equity performance overall. ETG provides investors with an attractive monthly distribution yield, which has been bumped higher since our last update. ETG continues to trade at an attractive discount, near the fund's historically widest levels outside of the GFC and briefly during the Covid plunge.

For income investors, closed-end funds remain an attractive investment class that covers various asset classes and promises high distributions and reasonable total returns. Closed-end funds, or CEFs, are generally characterized by higher volatility and deeper draw-downs 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 that 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.

After speculating earlier this year that Eaton Vance would raise its distributions on its equity CEFs, that was finally confirmed last week on April 1. The distribution increases range from 4.6% for ETV to 32.2% for EOS which gets most of the funds back up to their previous distribution levels from 2022.

Eaton Vance has multiple equity closed-end funds with similar names, but each fund generally has subtle differences in their portfolios and underlying investment strategies. The Eaton Vance Tax-Advantaged Global Dividend Income Fund and the Eaton Vance Tax-Advantaged Global Dividend Opportunities Fund are two funds that are rather unique.

ETG Vs. ETO: The Eaton Vance Leveraged Equity CEF Twins

Eaton Vance Tax-Advantaged Global Dividend Income Fund is a closed-end fund that invests globally in the equity of U.S. and non-U.S companies and, to a lesser extent, in preferred and fixed-income securities. The ETG CEF has a good long-term record of performance. However, the recent performance has been sub-par, more so on the market price. We believe it is an attractive fund for income investors that is highly diversified with global exposure and has proven to provide sustainable income in good times and bad.

ETG: Nearly 7% Attractive Income Yield And Global Exposure

Eaton Vance Tax-Advantaged Global Dividend Income Fund has finished 2023 with a solid performance. The solid performance actually moved the fund to a sizeable discount, which is perfect for investors looking to acquire or grow their position. The fund's distribution rate is barely over 6%, and that should bode well for a potential increase in the future.

I have a total of 41 positions in my closed-end fund portfolio, with the top ten positions making up 36.52% of the portfolio. We have four new names making their way to my top ten list since the prior update, but three were already positions that have simply grown to be larger allocations. Closed-end funds overall look to be a place of opportunity as discounts remain historically wide across both equity and fixed-income-focused funds.

Eaton Vance Tax-Advantaged Global Dividend Income Fund offers investors the opportunity to earn income from international assets without sacrificing potential upside. The fund's current yield of 7.07% is lower than other fixed income and equity funds, making it less appealing to income-focused investors. The fund has underperformed the S&P 500 Index and the MSCI World Index recently, but has outperformed when considering distributions received by investors.

Closed-end funds are often more sensitive to market movements, through being leveraged but also their discount/premium mechanics. Eaton Vance Tax-Advantaged Global Dividend Income Fund has seen a drop due to September's weakness and also a widening discount, creating a potential opportunity for investors. ETG focuses on global dividend-paying stocks and offers tax advantages, but its leverage and expense ratio has increased due to those borrowing costs rising.

The Eaton Vance Tax-Advantaged Global Dividend Income Fund offers a high level of current income with a 7.41% yield. The fund has underperformed the S&P 500 Index and MSCI World Index over the past year.

The Eaton Vance Tax-Advantaged Global Dividend Income Fund offers investors exposure to a range of global positions, with the majority of the fund invested in common stocks. Despite a distribution cut last year, the fund has shown decent returns and is currently traded at an attractive discount due to the fund's net asset value rising faster than the share price. The fund is leveraged which can lead to greater volatility and risks, but can also produce better returns over the long term; however, rising borrowing costs have increased the fund's total expense ratio.
