LMP Capital and Income Fund

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Category: Distribution Related.

LMP Capital and Income Fund Inc. (SCD or “the Fund”; CUSIP: 50208A102) Announces Notification of Sources of Distributions

The LMP Capital and Income Fund offers a high-income yield of 7.96%, along with a very strong performance history in recent years. The fund's strategy of favoring equities over fixed-income securities is advantageous in an inflationary environment, providing better protection and higher returns. The fund does not do very much trading, but it appears to have done some profit-taking in Apple over the summer.

For income investors, closed-end funds remain an attractive investment class that covers various asset classes and promises high distributions and reasonable total returns. Closed-end funds, or CEFs, are generally characterized by higher volatility and deeper drawdowns than the broader market. For these reasons, they are not suited for everyone. In this monthly series, we highlight five CEFs with solid track records that pay high distributions and offer "excess" discounts. We try to separate the wheat from the chaff using our filtering process to select just five CEFs every month from around 500 closed-end funds.

LMP Capital and Income Fund offers a fairly diversified portfolio but with a tilt toward more unique allocations emphasizing technology and energy sectors. The fund has outperformed the S&P 500 Index since our last update, but long-term performance has been mixed as energy struggled for years. The fund shifted to a monthly distribution schedule since our last update, which is generally more favorable to income-focused investors.

SCD: Tech And MLP Leaning CEF Providing A Steady Monthly Distribution

LMP Capital and Income Fund Inc is mostly an equity fund that is focused on energy (MLPs) and technology stocks. However, shares had a decent run in 2024 with nearly 17% total return year-to-date, making them a bit overvalued. The SCD closed-end fund currently provides a reasonably high yield of 8.7% plus; however, it uses a moderate level of leverage, roughly 20% of total assets. SCD has a decent long-term record of over 20 years. Moreover, it has outperformed most similar funds during the last 3, 5, and 10 years. Having an outsized exposure to technology stocks and energy via MLPs at the same time gives it a unique blend of income and growth, at the same time.
