Forget about owning equity CEFs that offer 20% or more NAV or market yields and stick with funds that can cover their distributions. Do you really think that when a fund sponsor bumps up a fund's yield by 100% that there won't be a price to pay in return? That all of a sudden, 20% NAV yields are somehow achievable? They are not and the cost is an eroding NAV over time.

BlackRock Energy & Resources Trust invests in energy stocks and offers a current yield of 6.14%, higher than most energy index funds. However, the BGR closed-end fund's performance has been underwhelming compared to energy partnerships and index funds, with a 5.59% share price gain since December 2023. The BGR fund's strategy sacrifices upside potential for a higher yield and pays out capital gains to investors, resulting in higher yields but lower total returns.

BGR: A 6.14%-Yielding Energy CEF With A History Of Underperformance

BGR offers a 6.2% yield and monthly distribution through a diversified portfolio of large-cap global energy stocks. The price of oil has climbed to a 5-month-high, driving a new wave of positive sentiment into the sector. We are bullish on BGR which should continue delivering positive returns.

The final installment in the 4-part Energy series. "Alternate" energy has been growing as a source of U.S. energy and especially electric generation. Solar and wind have been growing fastest but may be running into roadblocks. Because solar and wind are intermittent sources, we will almost certainly need one or more "base load" type sources to grow as well (candidates are small-scale nuclear, geothermal, and hydrogen).

Yes, You Can Retire On Dividends, 2 Big Yields Up To 11%

BlackRock Energy & Resources Trust is a closed-end fund designed for investors seeking exposure to companies benefiting from rising oil and gas prices. The fund has outperformed the S&P 500 Index YTD and offers a high level of total return through a combination of current income, current gains, and long-term capital appreciation. The fundamentals point to rising energy prices and a strong performance by energy producers over the rest of this decade. That should benefit this fund.
