Hi guys... I was hoping you can help me demystify some things about CEFs. I'm new to CEFs. The reason why I started looking at them is because I am looking to build an income portfolio. I came across the CEFA site which has a pretty good screener. However, I cannot make a decision between which CEF to pick because I don't fully understand the significance of Income Only Yield, Distribution Yield, and Dividend Yield. I am hoping you can help me answer this if you have time. I read the definitions on the CEFA website but they are not so clear. My question is, if I am trying to maximize my fixed income returns (monthly, or otherwise), what should I look at? Income Only Yield or Distribution. I read somewhere that Distribution is different from Dividends because it could include, amongst other things, paid-in capital. So in essence the Distribution Yield could be misleading... it could just be the CEF giving me my money back! I don't see any website showing what amount of the Distribution Yield is the paid-in capital. Please advise, Thanks Kim New to CEFs!

I’m new to CEFs. The reason why I started looking at them is because I am looking to build an income portfolio. I came across the CEFA site which has a pretty good screener.

Please advise,

Most screeners are very limited or require users to pay to have access to their screens, which is not that worth it.

The process of finding them on ETF Connect is very laborious. Is there a link of the "Street" article screen?
