PCQ: A High But Oddly Funded Distribution

PCQ is a closed-end fund investing in California municipal bonds, offering tax-free income for high-income CA residents, but trading at a discount to NAV. A significant portion of PCQ's distribution is funded by paid-in surplus, effectively returning capital to investors rather than providing true income. Despite falling interest rates, PCQ's capital value has declined, which is counterintuitive for a long-duration bond fund and raises concerns about its structure.
