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.
The energy sector can be a great spot to shop for dividend stocks. Many energy companies generate lots of cash flow, even during periods of commodity price volatility.
ConocoPhillips is undervalued at current levels, offering an attractive entry point for growth and income investors with strong cash generation through cycles. COP's low cost of supply, decades of inventory, and upcoming LNG/Alaska catalysts position it well for future free cash flow and shareholder returns. Recent market sell-off and oil price volatility have created a buying opportunity; COP's financial strength and buybacks further support upside potential.

Three Fortune 500 Industry Leaders—Energy Transfer, Verizon, and World Kinect—currently meet the 'dogcatcher' ideal of fair price and safer dividends. Analyst targets project 21% to 50% net gains for the top ten F500IL dividend dogs by June 2026, with average gains of 28.8%. Most top-yielding F500IL stocks remain overpriced, but a 60% market correction or dividend increases could make all ten fairly priced for income investors. Twelve F500IL stocks have negative free cash flow margins, making them unsafe for dividends; focus on the three 'safer' fair-priced options for now.
