PIMCO Closed-End Funds Declare Monthly Common Share Distributions

The best taxable closed-end funds are PHK, PFN, and at slightly cheaper valuations, PDI and PCN; best munis are PMF, NY funds, and PCK in CA. Distributions are safe due to funds monetizing premiums via at-the-market offerings, supplementing net investment income. Coverage ratios for muni CEFs may be overstated; future UNII reports will clarify the impact of new leverage costs.

The muni CEF space is largely buy-and-hold (or long-term rental agreements). But right now, there's a lot of dislocation in the sector. Some funds are extremely expensive while others are relatively cheap. Making swaps makes sense to rotate into the better opportunities and see more discount closing tailwinds.

More Relative Value Trades And Opportunities: Munis

The disparity among PIMCO tax-exempt muni CEFs remains large. Apart from lower income yields, greater susceptibility to distribution cuts and larger drawdown potential, the ongoing consolidation wave in the sector presents another risk for high-premium funds.

The taxable PIMCO CEFs are still trading below 100% coverage thanks to the falling dollar. That could improve in January as the dollar has rebounded some. In this space, we continue to like RCS and PHK. PGP is a good S&P 500 proxy.
