(NYSE: VOYA), announced today the distributions on the common shares of five of its closed-end funds: Voya Global Advantage and Premium Opportunity Fund (NYSE: IGA), Voya Global Equity Dividend and Premium Opportunity Fund (NYSE: IGD), Voya Infrastructure, Industrials and Materials Fund (NYSE: IDE), Voya Asia Pacific High Dividend Equity Income Fund (NYSE: IAE), and Voya Emergin.

Voya Equity Closed End Funds Declare Distributions

The Voya Global Equity Dividend and Premium Opportunity Fund offers a high 10.70% yield, higher than most of its peers. The fund underperformed major indices over the past few months, delivering a 6.12% total return versus higher returns from indices. The fund's strategy targets high-income yields from global dividend-paying stocks, but it remains heavily weighted towards U.S. equities, limiting international diversification.

IGD Continues To Show Improvements, Now Covering Distribution

IGA and IGD are similar closed-end funds that incorporate an options writing strategy, but IGA has historically been the better performer. IGD has seen its discount narrow since the fund lifted its monthly distribution to investors, though coverage here has been a struggle. IGD's portfolio is tilted towards global holdings and value-oriented sectors, which could help provide better diversification for an investor if they are looking tech-heavy.

The Voya Global Equity Dividend and Premium Opportunity Fund specializes in providing investors with a high level of current income. The IGD closed-end fund's recent performance has been disappointing, with shares down 4.21% since the last article was published. The fund employs a strategy of selling call options to generate income, but its distribution has been decreasing over time.

IGD: An Option-Income CEF Trading At A Huge Discount (Rating Downgrade)

Voya Global Equity Dividend and Premium Opportunity Fund is an equity closed-end fund with a 9.6% dividend yield. The fund has failed to produce meaningful total returns in 2023 due to the negative impact of higher rates on dividend-paying equities. The fund is currently utilizing over 70% ROC to pay its dividend due to the underperformance in the global equity portfolio it holds.
