PZC is similar to other PIMCO muni CEFs in that it has had a volatile few months. This comes on the backdrop of higher interest rates and a distribution cut. With this backdrop, I believe the worst of things has passed. PZC sits at its par value on the open market and offers an attractive yield - especially to California residents.

PIMCO finally did it. They chopped the muni CEF distribution by up to 45%. PCQ was the biggest risk as it was trading at a ridiculous 45% premium to NAV going into the cut.

PIMCO California muni funds teach a lesson on CEF valuation. The most expensive fund declined by the most after the cut.

Steadily lower yields and heightened volatility make relative value opportunities an attractive alpha generation strategy in CEFs.

Relative Value CEF Opportunities: More Alpha In A Less Beta Environment

The disparity among PIMCO tax-exempt muni CEFs remains large. Apart from lower income yields, greater susceptibility to distribution cuts and larger drawdown potential, the ongoing consolidation wave in the sector presents another risk for high-premium funds.
