Voya Global Advantage and Premium Opportunity Fund trades at a deep discount, offering an attractive distribution yield. The fund's value-oriented portfolio has performed well in 2022, but heavy financial exposure has impacted 2023's results. The large discount allows investors to receive a higher distribution rate, with the current payout level considered reasonable.

ETW and IGA are similar funds in the way they operate; they sell index or index ETF calls and hold a basket of equity positions with a global tilt. However, the positioning that they've chosen to take differs, and that's played a significant role in their past performance and should going forward as well.

IGA held up much better in 2022 than the overall market on a total NAV return basis. This was thanks to the portfolio's options strategy, currency hedging and overall value-tilt in their portfolio.

IGA: Strong 2022 Results, Still A Buy At Current Levels

IGA generated a strong yield and has been able to achieve its objective of generating stable current income. The average annual total return also is quite high. IGA invests in stocks in ICT, financial, industrial, and healthcare sectors. These sectors in my view have maximum growth potential in the coming decade.

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.

During a week in which Microsoft, Alphabet, Meta Platforms and Amazon dropped an average -12.1% after their earnings, one would think the Nasdaq-100 would be close to its YTD low. But instead, the Nasdaq-100 soared +3.1% on Friday as investors disregarded those disappointing tech company earnings earlier in the week and instead focused on Apple's earnings.

IGA has been performing relatively well during the challenging 2022 market. The fund's distribution appears reasonably sustainable and attractive.

IGA: Value-Oriented Portfolio Leading To Outperformance

IGA is a global equities CEF that also writes covered calls on a percentage of its portfolio. The CEF writes monthly at-the-money calls (high delta), which have helped it weather the global equities downturn much better than a global equities index.

BOE and IGA both offer global exposure, which is relatively more attractively valued than U.S. investments at this time. Over the last decade or so, U.S. investments have outperformed, but historically, that isn't always the case.

IGA offers a yield of about 7.9%, quite tempting if the distribution can be sustained.

I recently wrote two articles about "tender offers" for my Inside the Income Factory members, explaining how "activists" hope ordinary shareholders will ignore them and fail to participate. We saw a good example of this in the recent Voya Global Advantage & Premium Opportunity Fund tender offer, where scarcely more than 25% of shareholders participated.
