This month, I've added to 11 different positions, but most of these were related to repurchases after the BlackRock tender offers. While I added to 11 different positions, these were all positions I had already held previously, so there were no new positions this month. In fact, I sold out of a fund to consolidate my holdings and reduce the number of funds held, as I did last month as well.

The Nuveen Real Asset Income and Growth Fund offers an attractive 11.86% yield, significantly higher than its peers, appealing to income-focused investors. The fund's balanced portfolio of equities and fixed-income securities provides better inflation protection compared to funds heavily invested in fixed-income securities. The fund includes private renewable energy funds, which have been a slight drag on the overall portfolio but do offer diversification benefits.

As a retired income investor, I focus on high-yield CEFs for reliable monthly distributions and potential capital gains from NAV discounts. Five CEFs to avoid currently: GOF, VVR, ARDC, WDI, IGR, due to high relative premiums or unfavorable market conditions. Recommended CEFs to buy/add: AOD, ASGI, JRI, MEGI, OPP, FSCO, offering high yields and potential for capital gains with favorable market conditions.

Eleven High-Yield Closed End Funds: Five To Watch And Six To Buy

Alpine Global Premier Properties Fund

Enjoying retirement with monthly passive income from CEFs holding real assets like real estate and infrastructure, providing stable, inflation-adjusted income. IGR, JRI, and AWP have delivered strong returns in 2024, but current prices suggest holding rather than buying due to potential market pressures. JRI offers the best prospects for continued capital appreciation and high yield, but caution is advised due to potential volatility and interest rate risks.

3 CEFs With Global Real Assets Worth Considering

Nuveen Real Asset Income and Growth Fund provides investors exposure to infrastructure and real estate investments across equity, preferred, and debt securities. JRI increased its distribution by over 33% to narrow its discount and fend off activists, which now puts the distribution rate at around 12.2% and paid monthly. This higher distribution move worked, and the discount has narrowed materially; however, there are still reasons to continue to hold the fund even after this move.

JRI: Discount Narrows But Attractive Underlying Assets (Rating Downgrade)

Nuveen Real Asset Income and Growth Fund is a closed-end fund that offers exposure to 'real assets' such as real estate and infrastructure. The portfolio strategy includes exposure to pipelines, electric utilities, and other infrastructure-related holdings. The fund produces a high yield of 12.5% from its holdings. JRI's performance has been inconsistent, with a deteriorating NAV and reliance on market conditions for growth, making it a hold for now.

JRI: Solid Infrastructure Exposure But Flawed Growth

Investing in securities with exposure to real assets can hedge against inflation and stabilize portfolios. Nuveen Real Asset Income and Growth fund has seen strong performance and a substantial distribution increase. Energy companies leveraging AI and the energy transition may lead to investment opportunities in that sector.

For those many Americans who are feeling the squeeze but still want that $5.25 Tall Mocha from Starbucks, the only answers are to cut spending elsewhere or to augment income. The latter can be had by active means, i.e., a second job or side hustle, or via passive means, such as letting the money you have work for you. For those looking at the passive income route, dividend stocks are a worthwhile consideration.

The Nuveen Real Asset Income and Growth Fund offers investors a way to diversify their portfolio with hard assets and earn a high level of current income. The JRI closed-end fund has performed well, with a 7.96% return over four months, but has underperformed the S&P 500 Index. The fund's allocation to debt securities and limited exposure to real estate common equities may limit its ability to protect against inflation.

JRI: Good Income Play But Inflation Protection Could Be Better

Nuveen Real Asset Income and Growth Fund has increased its monthly distribution, putting it back above where it was early in 2023 before the cut. The fund's performance has been lackluster, but expectations for utilities and real estate performance going forward are more promising. JRI trades at an attractive discount both on a relative and absolute basis, which could see further potential upside if CEF discounts narrow broadly after widening to historically wide levels.

REIT index performance can be a leading indicator for the asset class as a whole. Our latest Asset Allocation recorded a strong quarter for listed real estate, showing signs of long-awaited resurgence. REITs send encouraging signals. A deeper analysis of sectoral returns since the Great Financial Crisis reveals no clear pattern, vindicating broad sectoral exposure.

Listed Real Estate: Searching For Positive Signals While Reviewing The Case For REITs

The Nuveen Real Asset Income and Growth Fund specializes in investing in real assets such as real estate, infrastructure, and energy distribution systems. Short-term performance of real estate assets has been adversely affected by high mortgage costs and reduced demand for office space. Despite short-term fluctuations, real assets provide long-term protection against inflation, and the fund offers a high yield of 9.68%.

JRI: Real Assets Belong In Your Portfolio, But This Distribution Looks Strained

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The 19(a) distribution notices for three Nuveen closed-end funds are now available. This informational notice provides further details on the sources of the funds' regular monthly distribution and follows the most recent monthly distribution announcement.

Cohen & Steers Real Estate Opportunities and Income Fund

Cohen & Steers Real Estate Opportunities and Income Fund (RLTY) and Nuveen Real Asset Income and Growth Fund (JRI) are two closed-end funds focused on real assets. RLTY has a portfolio split between equities and preferred securities with an emphasis on REIT investments, while JRI invests in real asset-related companies around the world across the spectrum. Both funds are trading at attractive discounts and offer attractive monthly distributions.

NAREIT has developed a financial metric called Funds From Operations, or FFO, that investors in REITs can use to better evaluate their financial performance. Dividend income plays a big role in why investors would seek to own stocks in REITs. What makes the FFO information valuable to investors is its correlation with the dividends paid out by REITs.

Connecting FFO To DPS For REITs

Nuveen Real Asset Income and Growth Fund generates high levels of yield through a mix of high-coupon bonds and stocks of firms engaged in the business of energy & utilities infrastructure. JRI pays steady monthly dividends along with a double-digit annual average yield over the long run. However, it fails to generate positive price growth. High inflation, rising interest rates, and a looming economic recession will probably send this fund relatively lower than traditional funds or high growth stocks.

JRI: High-Yielding, Relatively Riskier Fund Suitable For The Current Conditions

The Nuveen Real Asset Income and Growth Fund aims to provide high current income from a portfolio of infrastructure and real estate company equities and bonds. The fund pays an attractive 8.8% distribution yield. But it exhibits classic signs of being an amortizing "return of principal" fund.

JRI has performed well since our last update, but the discount remains attractive. This fund is split between real assets, and that includes real estate and energy infrastructure exposure.

JRI: Real Assets At An Attractive Discount

Real assets share many of the same qualities as other things that increase in price during inflation so they can help protect your wealth in that environment. JRI invests in a portfolio of infrastructure and real estate to provide investors with a high level of current income.

JRI: Real Assets Can Protect Against Inflation, But Watch The NAV Closely

JRI continues to trade at a deep and attractive discount to its NAV. The overall volatile year in the markets is certainly playing a role.
