Nuveen Dow 30 Dynamic Overwrite Fund is a buy-write CEF that aims to replicate the Dow Jones index. The fund's complex risk factor, the SPY/DIA basis, has hindered its performance and is not properly disclosed.

DIAX has delivered below market returns historically but has failed to deliver below market volatility. The Fund trades at a significant discount to NAV, but the dynamic nature of options exposure makes it a difficult arbitrage play.

Selling calls on long positions provides downside protection and shelters investors from stock volatility. The Nuveen Dow 30 Dynamic Overwrite Fund writes covered calls on a portion of its equity portfolio to reduce volatility. We examine whether this 8% yielding fund meets our buying criteria.

The Key Selling Point Of The 8.1% Yielding DIAX

Nuveen Dow 30 Dynamic Overwrite Fund (DIAX) is trading at a larger discount compared to its historical level, potentially indicating an attractive opportunity.

Some CEFs have managed distribution policies that are linked directly or indirectly to their NAVs, allowing investors to forecast changes in distributions with varying accuracy. Recent volatility has already caused some CEFs to lower their distributions as a result of the March drawdown, causing their discounts to widen relative to their sectors.
