About this ETF
The portfolio manager distributes the fund's capital across a combination of equity, fixed income, and cash or cash equivalents. This can be achieved either by acquiring stakes in other investment vehicles—such as closed-end funds (including business development companies or BDCs), exchange-traded funds (ETFs), and similar collective investment schemes (collectively known as "underlying funds")—or by making direct investments in individual securities. Typically, over half of the fund's total assets are channeled into these underlying funds to secure exposure to the aforementioned asset categories.

Latest News for CEFZ
No articles mention this fund directly in the last 7 days — showing general ETF coverage.
Guided help: AUM is fund size. The expense ratio is the yearly cost baked into returns. NAV is the value of what the fund owns per share; the market price can sit slightly above (premium) or below (discount) it. Total return assumes distributions were reinvested. Every dataset shows its own as-of date because holdings, assets and quotes update on different schedules.
