Closed-End Funds

Matisse and Closed-End Funds

A quantitative focus on CEFs—and an approach that supplements using a traditional analytical framework with a deep analysis of CEF discounts to make allocation decisions—is what we believe is our strength and competitive advantage compared to other investment managers. Our analysis, commentaries, and insights into both the global CEF market and individual CEFs is supported by our proprietary research, a team-oriented culture, and almost three decades of professional experience. We are proud to be one of the only investment firms in the world to give the general investing public access to discounted CEF investment strategies through our mutual fund offerings.

What Makes Us Different

Closed-End Fund Specialist

We rely on our extensive knowledge and experience in the CEF market that includes its managers, funds, and historical discount patterns to help us maximize shareholder value.

Active Management

Technology allows us to monitor CEF discounts in real-time, identify compelling investment opportunities as they happen, and make tactical changes to our underlying investment portfolio.

Discount Driven

We supplement the use of a traditional analytical framework with a deep analysis of CEF discounts to guide our allocation and positioning decisions. As discounts move organically, we make decisions on when to sell out of a position and replace it with a more attractive opportunity.

Flexible Investment Structure

Our mutual fund offerings have flexible structures that allow us to tactically shift our allocations among different asset classes and investment categories (if our analysis of discounts tells us to do so).

A Unique Source of Income

We believe CEFs are slowly becoming a prominent option for income investors. Our mutual fund offerings place an emphasis on income generation, with anticipated monthly cash payouts and annual capital gains distributions.

A Dedicated Resource for Investors

Matisse shareholders, outside investors, and the general media have access to our management team's insights, research, articles, and publications.
