PIMCO Closed-End Funds Declare Monthly Common Share Distributions

PIMCO High Income Fund offers a current yield of 12.03%, but other closed-end peer funds have higher yields. The fund's share price performance has been volatile but has outperformed domestic bond indices in recent months. The fund's leverage ratio is in line with its peers, and it has been able to cover its distributions through net unrealized gains.

Funds rely on at-the-market offerings and capital gains to make up for earnings shortfalls and maintain distributions. Coverage levels for taxable funds declined in January due to the falling value of the dollar. Net investment income production has been declining for several years, leading to potential distribution cuts and overvalued NAVs.

PIMCO Update Feb 2024 | PDX Makes The Move, Valuations Remain Rich

NEW YORK, March 01, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Boards of Trustees/Directors of the PIMCO closed-end funds below (each, a “Fund” and, collectively, the “Funds”) have declared a monthly distribution for each Fund's common shares as summarized below. The distributions are payable on April 1, 2024 to shareholders of record on March 11, 2024, with an ex-dividend date of March 8, 2024.

Pimco Closed-End Funds Declare Monthly Common Share Distributions

PIMCO High Income Fund offers high yields but has a history of shrinking distributions year after year. Even reinvesting dividends doesn't seem to catch up with distribution cuts (after 2016) even if you ignore inflation. It's hard to rely on this fund for sustainable income for retirees who depend on it for their living expenses.

PHK: I Am Not Convinced Of This Fund's Value Proposition

Not much has changed fundamentally in taxable PIMCOs, but there has been a shift in valuations and sentiment. The drop in the dollar has put downward pressure on funds with exposure to foreign bonds and currency forwards contracts. Leverage is a key consideration for assessing NAV trends, and some funds have reduced leverage significantly in the past month.

PIMCO Update (Quick) | January 2024 | Watch The NAV Momentum Turn

We provide an update for the PIMCO CEF suite. PIMCO took advantage of the recent back-up in yields and yield curve disinversion to add assets across the taxable suite. Muni CEF coverage continues to decrease, while taxable CEF coverage slightly improved.

PIMCO CEF Update: Getting Ready For PDX

This article evaluates the PIMCO High Income Fund as an investment option, which is timely given the market's renewed interest in bonds and debt securities. While I am a "bond bull" right now, I see limited value in PHK as it still has a premium price and a volatile trading history. The equity market is signaling a contrarian sign that fixed-income may be a good move. But there are better ways to play it.

PHK: Still Not A Bargain, Reaffirming A 'Hold' Rating

The PIMCO High Income Fund offers a relative value opportunity versus the more recently launched CEFs PDO and PAXS. PHK has a lower management fee, longer track record, and higher-quality allocation profile, which should keep its valuation well above the other 2 funds. PHK's valuation has compressed recently against PDO and PAXS, offering an opportunity for PDO or PAXS holders to rotate to PHK.

PHK: Worth A Switch From PIMCO's Newest CEFs PDO And PAXS

The PIMCO High Income Fund offers a high current yield of 11.90%, one of the highest in the market. The PHK closed-end fund has not cut its distribution despite the negative impact of rising interest rates on bond prices. The fund's portfolio is heavily invested in speculative-grade bonds, but the real risk here is that interest rates will continue to rise.

Taxable closed-end fund discounts have narrowed, reducing their attractiveness, while credit spreads have tightened, producing returns in some areas of the CEF market. Municipal CEFs remain exceptionally cheap, with discounts wider than 99% of historical observations. The risk-reward in the taxable bond CEF space is on the downside, while the upside potential in municipal CEFs is significant, but dependent on a shift in Fed policy and inflation.

PIMCO Closed-End Funds Declare Monthly Common Share Distributions

This article evaluates the PIMCO High Income Fund as an investment option, a Closed-End Fund that I've previously advised readers to avoid due to its lack of value proposition. It has come under review again due to its high distribution yield and a premium that is lower than many of its peers from PIMCO. My past advice to avoid investing in PHK has been justified so far. And after review, I maintain a Hold rating.

PHK: The Risk-Reward Still Doesn't Excite Me

Although inflation has started to cool down, real income growth is still negative, so many people need options to increase the money coming in. PIMCO High Income Fund invests in a portfolio consisting mostly of bonds in an attempt to generate a high level of income.

PIMCO CEF Update: Deleveraging And Swaps Take A Toll On Income

Investors today are in need of income as the high inflation rate has made it difficult to sustain a comfortable lifestyle. PIMCO High Income Fund invests in a leveraged bond portfolio that looks pretty safe and secure despite consisting of junk bonds.

PHK: Some Good Qualities But Sufficient Reason To Avoid This Fund Today

As the market has become highly uncertain, and chances of recession still persist, investing in fixed income securities becomes a wise option. PHK consistently generated exceptionally high yield, and is less likely to have a distribution cut, as its investments still generate the same coupon.
