Closed-end funds (CEFs) yield around 8% today—and that's on average. Plenty yield more—and deliver their payouts safely, predictably and often monthly, too.
Oxford Lane Capital (OXLC) has suffered a nearly 50% NAV drop in the last year, with recent declines accelerating. OXLC's reported core net investment income is misleading and does not reflect true economic returns or fund performance. The fund's total annual expenses approach 30%, requiring implausible 50% gross returns from CLO equities to sustain current distributions.
Oxford Lane Capital NASDAQ: OXLC reported a sharp decline in net asset value for its fourth fiscal quarter of 2026, as weaker loan market pricing, wider bid-ask spreads and reduced demand for CLO equity weighed on portfolio marks.
