Introduction
While market inefficiencies in closed-end funds (CEFs) create opportunities, accessing and optimizing these opportunities requires skill, research, and active management. Simply recognizing inefficiencies is insufficient — managers must have the expertise to act strategically.
This article explores the importance of active management in capitalizing on CEF inefficiencies and how RiverNorth’s expertise enables investors to access this specialized market effectively.
Active Management: Turning Inefficiencies into Opportunities
Unlike passive investment strategies, CEF investing requires an active approach to identify and capitalize on inefficiencies. RiverNorth applies a two-pronged methodology to CEF investing:
- Quantitative Analysis – Systematic screening to identify CEFs trading at attractive discounts and those with strong historical mean reversion tendencies.
- Qualitative Insights – Fundamental research to assess fund structures, management decisions, and market trends that may drive discount narrowing or premium expansion.
This dual approach allows RiverNorth to make tactical shifts in portfolio allocation, optimizing investment decisions to capture the benefits of market inefficiencies.
Why Market Inefficiencies in CEFs Matter to Investors Today
In today’s evolving market landscape, the ability to identify and act on inefficiencies in CEFs on a timely and effective basis is more relevant than ever. As market volatility persists and investor sentiment fluctuates, discount narrowing and mean reversion opportunities remain compelling. By employing a disciplined investment process, active managers can navigate these complexities to maximize returns for investors.
