HIO: Struggling To Cover The Distribution And Potentially Limited Upside
2025-11-18 17:16:58 ET
The Western Asset High Income Opportunity Fund Inc. ( HIO ) is a closed-end fund, or CEF, that aims to provide its investors with a very high level of current income that can be used to grow their wealth or taken as spendable income. The fund actually does pretty well from an income perspective, as it boasts an 11.24% yield at the current price, which is far above the current yields of any of the major domestic or global fixed-income indices. We can see that quite clearly here:
Index/ETF | Current Yield |
Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index ( AGG ) | 3.85% |
Bloomberg High Yield Very Liquid Index ( JNK ) | 6.61% |
Vanguard Total World Bond ETF ( BNDW ) | 4.06% |
Vanguard Total International Bond Fund ETF Shares ( BNDX ) | 4.37% |
J.P. Morgan EMBI Global Core Index ( EMB ) | 5.06% |
