JRI: Highest Premium To NAV Valuation In A Decade

Nuveen Real Asset Income and Growth Fund is maintained at a hold rating due to variable earnings and premium NAV valuation. JRI offers an 11.7% yield with global real asset exposure, but payout sustainability remains questionable given inconsistent earnings coverage. The fund's aggressive 31.8% leverage and high allocation to rate-sensitive sectors heighten risk in a higher interest rate environment.

JRI: Multi-Asset Infrastructure Exposure For The Electrified Economy

Nuveen Real Asset Income and Growth Fund offers diversified exposure to real assets, with a robust 11.2% forward yield and monthly distributions. JRI employs a multi-asset strategy across equities, preferreds, and high-yield debt, benefiting from potential interest rate easing and broad sector diversification. The fund's high expense ratio is offset by its appealing distribution growth, tax-advantaged structure, and potential for durable income in a lower-rate environment.

This 11.9% Dividend Is Better Than Owning Rental Property

If anything taught me that buying real estate through stocks—or better yet high-yielding closed-end funds (CEFs)—is way better than brick-and-mortar, it was my experience renting my Manhattan apartment on Airbnb (ABNB).

JRI: Valuation Suppressed By Heavy Leverage

I maintain a hold rating on JRI due to its aggressive leverage and elevated interest rate environment, which suppresses valuation and NAV growth. JRI's current discount to NAV is historically low, making entry less attractive for long-term investors despite recent price momentum and a 12% yield. The fund's distribution coverage remains questionable, with payouts exceeding earnings and a history of inconsistent dividends, risking future cuts.

JRI: Limited NAV Growth And Shrinking Earnings

Nuveen Real Asset Income and Growth Fund offers investors exposure to a mixed portfolio of equities and debt investments, focused on real estate and infrastructure. The dividend yield of 12.5% is eye-catching, but there is a possibility for a reduction if earnings do not improve. The NAV growth has been limited. JRI's NAV still remains below its pre-pandemic levels as growth has been crippled by a higher interest rate environment.

4 Closed-End Fund Buys (And A Sell) In The Month Of December 2024

Every month I add to my income-focused CEF portfolio, which creates a snowball and compounds growing cash flow over time. With some greater volatility opening up in the broader market, that helped to provide some select opportunities in what appears to be an otherwise still pretty pricey market. While no one knows what the future holds for sure, I'm still holding on to a sizeable cash position that I'd look to deploy in a broader market correction.

11 Closed-End Fund Buys In The Month Of November 2024

This month, I've added to 11 different positions, but most of these were related to repurchases after the BlackRock tender offers. While I added to 11 different positions, these were all positions I had already held previously, so there were no new positions this month. In fact, I sold out of a fund to consolidate my holdings and reduce the number of funds held, as I did last month as well.
