Clough Global Opportunities Fund Section 19(a) Notice

The Clough Global Opportunities Fund offers a high yield of 10.93%, appealing to income-seeking investors despite potential risks of distribution cuts. The fund's portfolio is heavily weighted towards mega-cap tech stocks, which may not enhance diversification and could limit potential returns. The fund's leverage is relatively high at 29.98%, which boosts returns but also increases risk, making it less suitable for risk-averse investors.

GLO: The Yield Is Nice, But Not A Fan Of The Portfolio

DENVER, CO / ACCESSWIRE / October 7, 2024 / Today, the Board of Trustees (the "Board") for the Clough Global Opportunities Fund (the "Fund") has declared a monthly cash distribution of $0.0480 per common share, payable on the dates noted below. The Fund's managed distribution policy is to set the monthly distribution rate at an amount equal to one twelfth of 10% of the Fund's adjusted year-end net asset value per share ("NAV"), which will be the average of the NAVs as of the last five business days of the prior calendar year.

Clough Global Opportunities Fund is a hybrid closed-end fund with nearly no constraints in trying to achieve its investment objectives. GLO has outperformed the S&P 500 Index in the short term and remains a speculative hold as the fund continues to trade at a deep discount. The fund's high distribution yield is maintained through a managed distribution policy, with a heavy reliance on capital gains to fund these payouts.

Clough Global Opportunities Fund is a closed-end fund trading at a deep discount; the fund invests in equity and fixed-income securities globally. The fund has a lackluster historical performance but offers a managed distribution policy that can attract yield investors. GLO has reduced its leverage substantially, and while it appears it was done at the wrong time, the more mild leverage I would view as a positive.

Clough Global Opportunities Section 19(a) Notice

The Clough Global Opportunities Fund relies on its star manager, Charles Clough, to make differentiated macro calls. Unfortunately, the fund has massively underperformed a passive ETF for 3 years in a row, returning -11.4% p.a. vs. 8.2%. Combined with an exorbitant 6.25% annualized expense ratio, I believe investors should sell the GLO and look elsewhere for global exposure.

Clough Global Opportunities (GLO) has underperformed in an up-market, with only a 7% return compared to the 16% and 19% returns of VT and SPY. GLO holds mostly U.S. equities and has a high turnover ratio, indicating a trading-focused strategy rather than buy-and-hold. The CEF's high leverage ratio and high cost of funding are contributing to its underperformance, and it is trading at a large discount to NAV.
