| 7 Closed-End Fund Buys (And 4 Sells) In The Month Of April 2025 |
April's market volatility, driven by tariffs and led by tech sector declines, created opportunities to deploy cash. However, it was an opportunity to reposition my portfolio as well, with 2 swap trades to de-risk my portfolio. There were 2 corporate actions in the last month that also saw two more positions removed from my CEF portfolio, but overall, I was a net buyer for the month. |

| Eagle Point Income Term Preferred: Still Rate EICC A Buy |
I recommend Eagle Point Income Company Inc.'s term preferred stocks (EICB and EICC) over iShares iBonds ETFs for higher current income and better value. EIC term preferreds offer attractive yields and are protected by a 200% asset coverage rule, minimizing default risk. iShares iBonds ETFs provide diversified high-yield bond exposure but face reinvestment risk and potential defaults, impacting yield-to-maturity. |

| Eagle Point Income: Let's Talk CLOs |
EIC invests mainly in junior debt of CLOs, offering higher yields with managed risk, and has outperformed ECC with stable NAV and distribution sustainability. EIC focuses on broadly syndicated loan CLOs, which are more liquid and transparent, while selectively investing in higher-risk CLO equity. The CLO market is robust, with private credit funds growing rapidly, potentially benefiting BSL CLO performance by shedding lower-rated borrowers. |

| It's Raining CLO Equity CEFs And Why We Got Longer |
The CLO Equity CEF sector has doubled in size over the past two years, driven by new entrants and favorable market conditions. Key catalysts include a benign default environment, tightening credit spreads, and the attractiveness of floating-rate assets amid a flat/inverted yield curve. CLO Equity funds benefit from embedded options like reinvestment and call options, which enhance returns during periods of market volatility. |

| Eagle Point Income Company: Assessing Yield Sustainability |
Eagle Point Income Co Inc. offers a 15.8% yield by investing in junior CLOs and using leverage, but this comes with significant risks. The fund's distribution sustainability is questionable, as it has relied on unrealized gains to cover payouts in recent years. Lower interest rates and economic downturns pose substantial risks to the fund's income and distribution stability. |

| Eagle Point Income: CLO Funds Are Still On The Menu |
Eagle Point Income is a buy despite recent drops, driven by external factors and market volatility from the new US administration. CLOs bundle low-rated loans, offering different risk levels; EIC invests in the BB tranche, focusing on corporate debt. EIC's portfolio is diversified across 1,466 obligors, primarily in the tech and healthcare sectors, with a forward yield of 16%. |

| Eagle Point Income: Distribution Remains Well Covered As NAV Grows |
Eagle Point Income remains a buy due to strong net investment income, low default rates, and a growing NAV. EIC's portfolio, heavily focused on CLO debt investments, benefits from higher interest rates, ensuring elevated cash flows and dividend sustainability. The fund's diversified portfolio and high dividend yield of around 15% make it an attractive option for income-focused investors. |
