Less opportunities to generate income requires creative solutions

Michael Ordonez, director of client portfolio management at Thornburg Investment Management, says that the biggest issue income investors face today is economic dynamics that are leading to a 'very difficult sustained income demand landscape, with less and less opportunities to generate that income.' That situation led Thornburg to enter the closed-end fund space for the first time with the Thornburg Income Builder Opportunities Trust, a new fund that uses the new, commonplace pricing structure, which Ordonez describes as 'Closed-End Fund 2.0' thanks to enhancements that should make the investing experience better for investors.
