Matisse Funds

Quant-driven closed-end fund strategies built for income and total return.

Our Funds

Discounted closed-end fund (DCEF) investing can be described as an art guided by science. We use a quantitative approach to evaluate how likely a fund’s discount is to narrow—and how quickly. The result is a tactical process designed to pursue income and total return across market environments.

MDCEX

Our “Go Anywhere” strategy that tactically allocates across equity and fixed income CEFs—seeking to capture opportunity as discounts evolve.

MDFIX

A modern approach to fixed income—an actively managed portfolio of discounted bond CEFs can help you navigate credit and interest rate cycles.

Understanding Fund Expenses

We know the expense ratios for MDCEX and MDFIX may look high compared to other mutual funds, and we’re not shy about it. Before you jump to conclusions, learn more about why our expenses look high and get our take on what investors should focus on when evaluating our strategies.

Separately Managed Accounts

Highly custom DCEF separate account management for qualified investors; minimum account size $25 million.
