The BlackRock Debt Strategies Fund ( DSU ) is a closed-end fund that income-seeking investors may wish to purchase as a method of boosting their current incomes. The fund does fairly well in this respect, as it boasts an 11.15% yield at the current market price. This is a substantially higher yield than most other options for income that are available in the market today, as we can see in the following table:
