WDI: Solid Fund Being Weighted Down By Higher Interest Rates

Western Asset Diversified Income Fund offers an 11.8% yield, focusing on high-yield credit and monthly income for investors seeking stability amid market volatility. WDI's share price has declined, but total returns including distributions reached 8.4% over the past year; most returns are from income, not capital appreciation. The fund's aggressive leverage and high exposure to below-investment-grade credit add risk, especially in a high-rate environment, warranting caution.

The fund's current 11.84% yield is attractive, but coverage of distributions has weakened slightly year over year. WDI has outperformed its category in 2025, but trades at a small premium to NAV, above its historical average discount, reducing its value proposition.
