- November was a torrid month for both underlying assets and CEF discounts, resulting in near record monthly returns for the broader CEF space.

- Though we continue to hold CEFs in our income portfolios, we have marginally reduced allocation to CEFs in favor of what are likely to be more resilient securities.
- This should allow us to be able to better take advantage of any opportunities over the medium term without having to sacrifice a lot of income in the process.
