At Matisse Capital, we’ve long believed that discounted closed-end funds can offer a unique combination of income potential and capital appreciation. By investing in closed-end funds trading at discounts to their underlying net asset values (NAVs), MDFIX seeks to generate total return with an emphasis on providing current income, while also providing investors with a diversified source of fixed-income exposure.
While we’re honored to be recognized by Barron’s, our focus remains unchanged:
- Identifying compelling discounts in the closed-end fund universe.
- Actively managing portfolio risk and credit exposure.
- Seeking attractive monthly income alongside long-term total return.
Third-party recognition does not guarantee future results, but it’s encouraging to see broader attention being paid to the opportunities available within the closed-end fund market.
