The Gabelli Global Utility & Income Trust·Financial Services

I highlight five additional CEFs—BIT, BME, BST, BUI, and GLU—that have never cut distributions for at least a decade, offering high-yield, monthly income. BIT yields nearly 12% at a -6.8% discount, but declining earnings coverage and rising ROC signal caution on distribution sustainability. BME, BST, and BUI trade at discounts and have recently increased distributions, with BST delivering an 18% 10-year total return at market price.
