Cohen & Steers Infrastructure Fund, Inc.
stock NYSE Closed Ended Fund

With the CEF Connect website you can track NAV and Price performance. Using the tickers discussed in this thread and tracking them over 5 years is interesting. I am researching UTF and ASGI, both infrastructure focused CEFs.

CEFS, UTG, UTF...doing nicely.

I own several, in single digit percentages.
ADX, MCI, UTG, UTF, CET, GAM, EOS, STK, RQI, PEO.
Good, bad...we'll see, I suppose. There are three or four I'm a bit less confident in than the others, but overall, I like the group.

I have QQQI 13% yield, ARDC 12%, SPYI 11%, EIC 10 %, PBDC 9%, RLTY 8%, UTG 7%, UTF 7%, SCYB 7%, PFFD 6%. Some are ETF and other are CEF.
The book the income factory list 68 funds the author has used and several examples. There is also Armchair income invest in similar way to the book. He list 38 funds he uses and he does detailed reviews of some of them and occationally interviews fund managers and the writer of The Income Factory. These are two very gould resources.
I am retired and live off of 80% of my income and reinvest the rest to hopefully keep up with inflation.

Do you mean beat SCHD for income or total return? Most CEFs are income vehicles. UTG, UTF, RFI, ADX, BST, FSCO, EIC.

ETY, EOI, EOS plenty of other great funds. ASGI, UTF, UTG, CSQ. Beating SCHD isn’t one of my criteria though

A couple of years of savings is out of reach for most people. However historically during long bear markets dividend perform much better than growth funds. If you invest in utility funds like UTG and UTF both with a dividend of 7% they will do better when S&P500 index funds have zero or negative returns.

Personally I find I like cash dividends for income. I have minimal ammount. in government bonds because the yields are so low. Right now some my favorite investments are QQQI 13%, ARDC 12%, SPYI 11%, EIC 10%, PBDC 9% RLTY 8%, UTF 7%, UTG 7%, SCYB 7%. PFFD 6%. I am getting about 5K of income a month from these sources.
