HPI is a leveraged CEF blending preferred equity and BBB/BB corporate bonds, with high financials exposure and 38% leverage, magnifying both gains and losses. Despite a 9% distribution, a significant portion is return of capital, making the true yield closer to 7-8%, not fully supported by income. Valuation is unattractive: HPI trades at NAV with tight credit spreads and high rates, leaving little upside and heightened downside risk in a downturn.
