Franklin Limited Duration Income Trust (“FTF”) Announces Change to Managed Distribution Plan

Franklin Limited Duration Income Trust is a multi-sector bond fund with a shorter-duration portfolio, making it less interest rate sensitive. The FTF closed-end fund has historically underperformed its benchmark, but recent results have shown improvement. FTF's significant discount and diversified portfolio make it a potentially attractive investment as a tactical play.

FTF: Deep Discount Could Be Creating A Tactical Play

Franklin Limited Duration Income Trust (FTF), a fixed income closed end fund (CEF). The main risk for FTF is credit spreads, which have tightened this year. However, with banks tightening credit lending and an increase in bankruptcies, a surge in junk spreads is expected. FTF's portfolio is predominantly high yield, with over 80% of the collateral either below investment grade or not rated.

FTF: Avoid This High Yield CEF

Franklin Limited Duration Income Trust is a low-duration credit fund that aims to provide investors with high current income. The fund pays an attractive 12.0% distribution yield. However, with total returns of only 1-4% p.a., the FTF fund is simply returning investors' own principal through the distribution.

FTF: Poorly Performing Low-Duration Credit Fund

Yields have eased lately with the expectations of a slowdown in interest rate increases. This fund's discount remains wide after the fund's rights offering early in 2022.

FTF: Discount Remaining Wide

FTF completed a rights offering that caused its discount to widen earlier this year. The overall state of the fixed-income market has pushed this fund down even further as a bond fund.

FTF: A Tempting Discount Opening Up, But There Are Risks

FTF is a fixed income CEF focused on HY bonds, leveraged loans and MBS securities. The fund has a stated 11.5% dividend yield, which is unsupported.
