ArrowMark Financial Corp has been holding up relatively well despite the overall equity market volatility, leading to only limited declines in terms of total returns. BANX invests primarily in regulatory capital securities of financial institutions, providing a unique exposure for retail investors and showing resilience compared to broader equity markets. What the latest decline has brought is a more attractive overall entry price, as the fund's discount has widened quite sharply, but that widened discount is closing quite quickly, too.

For income investors, closed-end funds remain an attractive investment class that covers various asset classes and promises high distributions and reasonable total returns. Closed-end funds, or CEFs, are generally characterized by higher volatility and deeper drawdowns than the broader market. For these reasons, they are not suited for everyone. In this monthly series, we highlight five CEFs with solid track records that pay high distributions and offer "excess" discounts. We try to separate the wheat from the chaff using our filtering process to select just five CEFs every month from around 500 closed-end funds.

ArrowMark Financial Corp. focuses on high income through investments in Regulatory Capital Relief Securities, comprising 87% of its portfolio, primarily issued by major banks. BANX currently offers an attractive and fully covered 8.5% distribution yield and is currently trading at a discount of roughly -3.5% (based on NAV as of Dec. 31, 2024). It is probably a good bet on getting consistent and fully covered high income, as long as interest rates stay reasonably high. However, there are some risks involved, and the fund may be a bit pricey as the discount has significantly narrowed during the last six months.
