PIMCO Dynamic Income Opportunities Fund (PDO) offers a high 11% yield, with stable share price and 12.52% total return over the past year. PDO's strategy focuses on diverse income-producing assets, primarily non-agency mortgage securities, but capital appreciation remains limited. The fund trades at a 4.73% premium to NAV, above its historical average, suggesting now may not be the best entry point.
Equity valuations are stretched, so I see better value in credit, especially PIMCO closed end funds like PDO. PDO stands out for its limited-term structure, offering a planned liquidity event in 2033 that anchors its valuation near NAV. PDO has delivered over 12% returns in the past year, outperforming most fixed income peers, with stable NAV and monthly distributions.
PDO's 11% yield, as mouthwatering as it is in absolute terms, is less attractive when properly benchmarked. Given the recent rises in risk-free rates, its yield spread vs. treasuries is below the historical average. The fund's heavy exposure to non-agency mortgages and high-yield credit isn't properly compensated by its current yields amid rising delinquencies.
