You've no doubt heard the old Wall Street saw: “Sell in May and go away.”
Columbia Seligman Premium Technology Growth Fund (STK) offers investors a way to get exposure to AI growth, while collecting a high yield. STK offers a dividend yield of 4.8% but I expect a large year-end supplemental distribution to be issued. A lot of STK's recent growth has come form Bloom Energy (BE). Bloom is aligned for continued growth so STK may not rotate out of this position.
Columbia Seligman Premium Technology Growth Fund offers a dynamic tech-income blend, with active management and a current Buy rating for core tech-income portfolios. STK's portfolio is heavily tilted toward semiconductors and equipment, with low SaaS/hyperscaler exposure, reflecting current market demand and pricing strength. The fund's covered call strategy is actively managed (0-90% coverage), balancing income generation and upside capture, and currently covers about 50-60% of the portfolio.
