ADX: 8% Distribution Rate Policy And Discount Widening Back Out
The Adams Diversified Equity Fund provides an investor with a pretty plain S&P 500 Index-like exposure in a CEF wrapper. The fund completed a tender offer earlier this year that we were able to take advantage of; they further announced a change in their distribution policy. ADX's new distribution policy provides for a minimum 8% annual payout, smoothing distributions throughout the year, but we could still see a large year-end.
2 Picks For High-Yield Investors Who Seek Growth-Like Exposure
Income investors often favor value investments like midstream infrastructure, equity REITs, and blue-chip cash cows for yields between 5% to 8%. Long-term alpha-like returns are unlikely with these assets, but they offer stable income streams that are suitable for defensive retirement portfolios. Some investors might, however, want to combine high yield with growth-like exposure.
Seeking +8% Yields In A Lower Rate Environment
Using diversified funds to gain wide exposure and strong income can be a winning income strategy. One of our picks gives exposure to REITs which are primed to strongly benefit from rate cuts. The other pick has over half a century of strong returns and NAV appreciation.

ADX: 6% Yield That Works In Few Situations
The Adams Diversified Equity Fund has been operating since 1929, offering consistent distributions with a current yield of 6.28%. ADX has historically delivered returns in line with or exceeding the S&P 500, generating slight alpha over the broader market. The investment case for ADX centers on accessing S&P 500-like risks and returns, with primary returns driven by distributions rather than price appreciation.
