My Notes

• dividend - BGY attracts income-focused investors seeking monthly distributions with international diversification.
• Rising interest rates create multiple headwinds: (1) closed-end funds become less attractive versus fixed income as bond yields rise…
• Watch on earnings: Discount/premium to NAV spread versus 5-year historical average, MSCI EAFE Index dividend yield and total return, USD Index (DXY) - tracks dollar strength against major currencies.
