NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The Boards of Trustees/Directors of the PIMCO closed-end funds below (each, a “Fund” and, collectively, the “Funds”) have declared a monthly distribution for each Fund's common shares as summarized below.
All 11 of the PIMCO Taxable CEFs have seen their market prices fall due to the pricing pressure from private credit fears impacting fixed income assets. Nearly all of the PIMCO CEFs have seen the premium to NAV decline, and PAXS now trades at a discount. Several CEFs, including PCN, PDO, and PTY, appear to offer a good buying opportunity now at historically low premiums; however, caution is warranted.
PIMCO Income Strategy Fund II offers a current dividend yield of approximately 10.3% based on its latest monthly distribution. PFN's semi-annual report and outlook highlight a focus on income generation through diversified fixed-income strategies. Key risks include interest rate volatility and potential changes in dividend coverage, which investors should monitor closely.
