Stocks were up slightly as the jobs report shifted the narrative towards 'higher for longer.' The payroll report came in stronger than expected, but the narrative was that it was a hawkish report, meaning higher rates for longer. Discounts for CEFs continue to tread water, with real estate and interest rate-sensitive bond sectors performing well, while emerging market equity and convertibles performed poorly.

CEF Weekly Commentary | December 10, 2023 | High Quality Opportunities

The Templeton Emerging Markets Income Fund has delivered poor historical returns, with average annual returns of -1.9% over 10 years. Despite the underperformance, TEI offers a high distribution yield of 12.2%, funded through return of investors' own capital. The reliance on "rockstar" managers like Michael Hasenstab to make big bets introduces volatility and the risk of significant losses. Investors should avoid such funds.
