NPCT: Discount Narrows, Pushing Strong Results But Taking Away Its Appeal

Nuveen Core Plus Impact Fund offers diversified, multi-sector fixed-income exposure, but its discount has narrowed significantly since we last gave it a look.

The fund's NAV has underperformed its blended benchmark, and the reduced discount removes much of the previous opportunity that made NPCT worth considering.
