Cornerstone Strategic Value Fund, Inc. is a closed-end equity investment fund, actively managed by Cornerstone Advisors, Inc. Its mandate is to allocate capital to publicly traded equities across global markets. The fund diversifies its holdings by targeting companies across numerous economic sectors. A core element of its strategy involves identifying companies with both value characteristics and growth potential. Furthermore, the fund has the flexibility to invest indirectly through other closed-end investment vehicles and Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs). This U.S.-domiciled fund commenced operations on May 1, 1987.
Is CLM's expense ratio expensive, average, or a steal for its category?
Pro reveals the verdict on a 5-tier spectrum calibrated against ICI 2025 industry averages, with strategy-aware bands so the comparison is meaningful.
Cornerstone Strategic Investment Fund, Inc. offers a unique DRIP structure that can generate consistent arbitrage returns when shares trade at a premium to NAV. CLM's portfolio closely mirrors the S&P 500 in sector exposure and top holdings, delivering comparable medium-term NAV performance. Recent dilution and dividend reset have compressed CLM's NAV premium, creating a more attractive entry point for new investors seeking DRIP benefits.
Structuring a defensive passive income portfolio with 7.5%–8.5% yield is feasible through optimization, due diligence, and diversification. Yields above that should not dominate core portfolios but can enhance yield in a tactical allocation sleeve if risk is properly calibrated. In this article, I detail the case of an 18% yielding vehicle which I view as an attractive buy.
Three funds promise headline yields north of 15%. They also quietly return your own money to you, dilute you through rights offerings, and let you buy $1 of assets for more than $1.
NEW YORK, Aug. 17, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Cornerstone Strategic Investment Fund, Inc. (NYSE American: CLM) (CUSIP: 21924B302) and Cornerstone Total Return Fund, Inc. (NYSE American: CRF) (CUSIP: 21924U300), (individually the “Fund” or, collectively, the “Funds”), each a closed-end management investment company, announced that in keeping with each Fund's previously adopted monthly distribution policy, each Fund is declaring the following distributions:
Cornerstone Total Return Fund and Cornerstone Strategic Investment Fund present unique total return opportunities for income-focused investors, especially via DRIP at NAV. Both CRF and CLM have announced an upcoming rights offering (RO), allowing shareholders to buy new shares at a 4% premium to NAV, likely reducing current premiums. Share dilution from the RO may temporarily depress market prices, but history suggests premiums and prices often recover post-offering as new capital is deployed.
