About this ETF
Under normal market conditions, the fund will invest at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in fixed income closed-end funds trading at a discount or premium to their underlying net asset value and that pay regular periodic cash distributions. Through its investments in closed-end funds that hold non-U.S. fixed income securities, the fund may invest indirectly in foreign securities, including securities of issuers located in emerging markets. It is non-diversified.

Latest News for RDFI
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.
