The Voya Asia Pacific High Dividend Equity Income Fund aims to deliver high current income and capital appreciation from a portfolio of Asia Pacific equities. The IAE fund exhibits classic signs of being an amortizing 'return of principal' fund, with a high distribution yield that appears unsupported by the fund's total returns. Investors are encouraged to avoid 'return of principal' funds as long-term investments in these funds may lead to loss of both principal and income.

Stocks paying higher dividends showed their mettle during a challenging 2022: the S&P 500 High Dividend Index declined only a modest –1.1% even as the S&P 500 tumbled –18.1%. In our view, much of the volatility in high-dividend strategies, broadly speaking, comes down to portfolio design choices, which can create very different characteristics.

2022 was a year to forget, while most believe 2023 will begin with the same issues that took the equity and bond markets well into bear market territory last year. That is, a hawkish Federal Reserve that doesn't want to let up on strangling inflation into submission while draining market liquidity.

2021 turned out to be a better year than I anticipated but much of that had to do with the Federal Reserve continuing to support the markets with zero-rates and massive stimulus. The Fed DID want to start pulling back and return to normalization early in 2021 after it appeared COVID-19 was finally in our rear-view mirror.

Starved for Income? Consider These 4 Closed-End Funds.

Voya is going through a purge of its option-income CEFs. Already this year, Voya has announced the liquidation of two of its funds, IID and IRR. Why are they doing this? I'm guessing because the economies of scale don't work as well when the funds get down to around $100 million in assets.
