AVK: Preserves Investor Capital And Maintains Consistent Dividends (Rating Upgrade)
Advent Convertible & Income Fund is upgraded to Buy, offering an 11.1% yield and trading at a 4.61% discount to NAV. AVK's hybrid strategy, with 48.7% in convertibles and 41% in high-yield securities, targets high income and capital preservation. Leverage remains high at 37.7%, but declining interest rates should reduce risk and improve operating spreads for AVK.
AVK: Leverage Needs To Be Reduced To Increase Appeal
AVK offers a high 11.5% yield and monthly payouts, appealing to income-focused investors seeking portfolio stability and diversification. Despite strong income and recovery, I remain concerned about dividend sustainability and aggressive leverage, especially in a high-interest rate environment. AVK trades near the high end of its historical NAV discount range, making the current entry less attractive for new investors.
Get Paid 10%+ a Year? These Monthly Dividend Stocks Actually Deliver
Although double-digit yields were normal during the 1980s, lower interest rates and a robust stock market have rendered yields of 10% or higher obscure.

Products and Services
- Convertible Securities Investment
The Advent Convertible & Income Fund invests in a managed portfolio of convertible securities. These are corporate bonds or preferred stocks that holders can convert into a predetermined amount of the issuing company's common stock. This investment approach allows the fund to take advantage of equity-like growth potential while maintaining the stability and steady income features of fixed-income securities. The strategy is designed to offer an attractive balance between growth and income, making it suitable for investors seeking to benefit from potential appreciation in underlying equities without foregoing the security offered by bonds and preferred stocks.
- High-Yield Bonds Investment
Alongside convertible securities, the Advent Convertible & Income Fund actively invests in high-yield bonds. These are bonds that come with a higher risk due to the lower credit rating of the issuing entities but offer a higher yield compared to more secure bonds. The aim of including high-yield bonds in the fund's portfolio is to generate a high level of current income for its investors. This component of the fund's investment strategy is particularly appealing to investors seeking higher income levels in their portfolios, as it leverages the higher risk associated with these bonds to achieve potentially higher returns. The careful selection of high-yield investments by the fund's experienced management team aims to ensure a balanced approach to risk and reward, augmenting the fund's overall income-generating capabilities.
