Adams Diversified Equity Fund is currently trading at a 14.2% discount but may not be an appealing option due to trading at a deep discount regularly. ADX generally follows the performance of the S&P 500 Index, but the fund has outperformed over the last year. ADX implements a distribution strategy that pays a regular quarterly distribution and tops it off at year-end to meet its minimum 6% policy.

ADX: Deep Discount But Relatively Expensive

Adams Diversified Equity Fund aims to match or beat the performance of the S&P 500 index while delivering a dividend yield of 6-7% annually. The fund has a long history of paying dividends for 85 years straight and has seen strong results, especially since 2010. The fund often trades at a discount to its NAV, providing potential for slightly higher gains compared to the S&P 500 index under right conditions.

(NYSE: ADX) has determined that $15.01 per share is the issue price for the closed-end fund's year-end distribution to shareholders who have elected to receive all or a portion of the distribution in the form of stock.

ADX has a committed distribution of 6 percent, whereas the actual yield is even higher. It has generated a long-term return of almost 18 percent, beating the S&P 500. Due to the poor performance of the broader market, and especially the technology stocks, price performance has been poor this year. ADX thus is available at a deep discount.
