Destra Multi-Alternative Fund has traded at a deep discount but is off some of the widest levels we've seen so far with changes over the years. The fund's strategy focuses on non-correlated alternative investments, but its high expenses and hedging strategy have kept total NAV returns muted. Despite relatively weaker underlying portfolio performance, that isn't necessarily a negative when there is an opportunity to realize the discount.

The fund employs reasonable leverage at 14.71% of the overall portfolio, trading discounted at 26.89% on net asset value with potential for capital gains.
