Nuveen Core Plus Impact Fund remains a sell as its shrinking NAV discount and unsustainable 11.2% yield signal elevated risk. NPCT continues to pay out more than it earns, relying heavily on return of capital and failing to support distributions from net investment income. High leverage (36.73%) and aggressive payouts erode NAV, with a 25% dividend cut likely needed to stabilize capital and improve long-term prospects.
These worries around private credit are giving us CEF investors a nice “bonus”: They're throwing a very positive light on our favorite 8%+ income plays.
