HGLB: Solid CEF With Blended Portfolio Strategy

  • Highland Global Allocation Fund offers a high-yield and global diversification, but its distribution history is inconsistent and partially reliant on return of capital. The fund trades at a persistent discount to NAV, reflecting structural or performance concerns compared to higher-quality closed-end funds. HGLB's heavy exposure to interest rate-sensitive sectors and reliance on net realized gains make it vulnerable in the current high-rate environment.
