Closed-end funds are relatively unique in that the structure allows for the market price to trade wildly different from its underlying NAV. That can lead to opportunities to potentially take advantage of such discounts, though we don't simply look at the deepest discounts and buy them up. Today, we'll be looking at 2 funds that provide rather unique underlying exposure but also a potential catalyst for discount realization moving forward.
SRH Total Return Fund remains underwhelming, with a 1.6% total return despite a market rally and a persistent 22.84% NAV discount. STEW's heavy Berkshire allocation and minimal technology exposure limit upside in an AI-driven market, risking continued underperformance versus SPY and ADX. ADX offers a compelling alternative, boasting a higher yield (~8%), significant tech exposure, and 392.3% total return over the last decade versus STEW's 209.3%.
