| MCI: Premium Valuation Amidst Uncertain Outlook |
Barings Corporate Investors offers a high dividend yield of 7.8%, leveraging a higher interest rate environment to generate elevated income from diverse debt investments. MCI's portfolio is heavily weighted towards private bank loans (72.4%) and has significant exposure to technology, industrial, and healthcare sectors. The fund's floating rate debt structure benefits from high interest rates but poses risks if rates drop or borrower defaults increase. |

| My Income Portfolio: In The Garden Of Eden |
Total Return can be misleading if not supported by NAV growth, as it may include unsustainable distributions and Return of Capital. Behavioral finance shows markets are irrational, making it crucial to consider practical aspects beyond theoretical Total Return calculations. I believe that NAV performance can affect our discretion in the reinvestment choices for the distributions we receive from our savings much more than Total Return. |

The closed-end fund space saw a significant narrowing of discounts throughout 2024 as equity markets charged higher and now discounts remain tight heading into 2025. In particular, equity CEFs have seen significantly narrowed discounts along with taxable fixed-income, though municipal bond funds look relatively attractive after widening discounts in December. We are screening for funds with the deepest discounts and widest z-scores to find potential buys and funds that may be getting a bit pricey as sell candidates. |

Risk is the probability of a negative event in the future. An abstract concept that is not measurable; otherwise it would not be risk.

Despite potential income reductions, the Fund's diverse portfolio and historically low non-accruals suggest stability; existing shareholders need not sell. |

MCI offers a high yield of 8.85%, making it ideal for income investors, though its current premium suggests a cautious approach. We believe it is an excellent fund for income investors in the high-yield bond category. Due to the significant premium, it is not an outright buy, but is well worth accumulating over time. For existing investors, it should be a long-term 'hold.' |

MCI delivers high income with distributions fully covered by net investment income, outperforming benchmarks and peer group in the long run. Trust's focus on private placement securities may cause concern, but its positive track record and safety cushion from first lien senior secured loans provide some reassurance. MCI's high premium over NAV is not compelling. Potential investors may benefit from waiting for a lower entry point, despite strong performance and safe distributions. |
