4 Closed-End Fund Buys (And 1 Sell) In April 2026

Last month saw a significant rebound in the broader equity market, led by strong gains in the Nasdaq Composite. With that, I was a bit more hesitant to add too aggressively, as I had in the previous month when we were in a market correction.

Demand from both residential and commercial users for electricity remains high and is sustainability growing in the developed world.
