MMT: Why Narrow Credit Spreads Make This Leveraged CEF A 'Sell' (Downgrade)
Aberdeen Multimarket Income Trust is rated 'Sell' due to its leveraged exposure amid currently narrow credit spreads. MMT's 32% leverage amplifies volatility and downside risk, especially when spreads widen, making it less attractive than unleveraged ETFs now. The fund's distribution relies significantly on return of capital (32% YTD), reflecting insufficient cash flow support from underlying assets.
