RFI: Non-Leveraged REIT CEF With An ~8% Distribution Rate

  • RFI offers a non-leveraged alternative to RQI, appealing to investors seeking lower volatility and less interest rate risk in REIT-focused CEFs. RQI has outperformed long-term due to leverage in low-rate environments; further, RQI has largely been hedged against the higher borrowing costs so far. RFI pays an attractive ~8% monthly distribution, which will rely on capital gains to be funded.
