Sit's Doty sees current market creating a sweet spot for CEFs

Bryce Doty, senior portfolio manager at Sit Investment Associates, says that the market's troubles this year have set closed-end funds up to be in a sweet spot, able to generate additional returns that traditional mutual funds and ETFs can't get investing in the same spaces. Despite those potential benefits, Doty acknowledges that most investors shy away from closed-end funds for a lack of understanding, and also miss out on the benefits of running closed-end funds as a portfolio or bucket of money, rather than as a single investment or two that's part of a larger portfolio.
