PIMCO Closed-End Funds Declare Monthly Common Share Distributions

PZC has seen a modest loss since my last review, and I'm not too optimistic about its future prospects either. The fund's discount to NAV could look compelling, but it is actually narrow compared to sister funds from PIMCO. California munis have plenty of merit right now for high-income residents, but there are risks to state and local government finances if the economy sours.

PIMCO Closed-End Funds Declare Monthly Common Share Distributions

PZC is similar to other PIMCO muni CEFs in that it has had a volatile few months. This comes on the backdrop of higher interest rates and a distribution cut. With this backdrop, I believe the worst of things has passed. PZC sits at its par value on the open market and offers an attractive yield - especially to California residents.

PZC: I Would Expect Modest Gains For This California Muni Fund

PIMCO finally did it. They chopped the muni CEF distribution by up to 45%. PCQ was the biggest risk as it was trading at a ridiculous 45% premium to NAV going into the cut.

PIMCO California muni funds teach a lesson on CEF valuation. The most expensive fund declined by the most after the cut.

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.
