ARDC: Exposing Investors To Floating-Rate Loans At The Wrong End Of The Credit Cycle

Ares Dynamic Credit Allocation Fund (ARDC) receives a Sell rating due to its heavy allocation to floating rate issuances amid an interest rate easing cycle. ARDC's portfolio is 61.8% floating rate debt, which may underperform as the Federal Reserve continues to cut rates, despite some risk mitigation from first lien loans. The fund offers a high 10.14% yield and stable distributions, but its high expense ratio and recent underperformance versus peers are notable concerns.

This month's top 10 closed-end funds offer an average yield of 9.25% and strong long-term performance across diverse asset classes. For income investors, closed-end funds remain an attractive investment class that covers various asset classes and promises high distributions and reasonable total returns.

ARDC: Trades At One Of The Highest Valuations In A Decade

I maintain a hold rating on ARDC due to its elevated premium to NAV and declining net investment income outlook. ARDC's strong 9.1% yield is appealing, but future dividend coverage is at risk as interest rates are expected to fall. The fund's aggressive leverage and high allocation to below-investment-grade securities amplify risk, especially in uncertain economic conditions.

That's what attracted viewers and kept them tuned in to CNBC and Bloomberg all day.
