In light of rising inflation, investors are targeting a 10.3% average dividend yield from two closed-end funds, the DoubleLine Income Solutions Fund (DSL) and the BlackRock Health Sciences Term Trust (BMEZ). Currently, DSL offers a payout of 12% and is trading at a 4.5% discount to NAV. BMEZ yields 9.3%, benefiting from potential advancements in drug development driven by AI, and is trading at a 10.8% discount.
Recent inflation reports indicate a Consumer Price Index (CPI) rise of 3.8% in April and a Producer Price Index (PPI) increase of 6%. As the economy grapples with these pressures, analysts predict that falling interest rates will enhance the value of these funds, offering a hedge against inflation.
Investors aiming for a consistent income stream can use the ‘Income Calendar’ tool to track monthly dividends from these funds, which helps in planning and managing financial expectations amid volatile economic conditions.
