HFRO Stock Recent News

HFRO's investment-grade rated Series A Preferreds are currently trading at a 33% discount to their intrinsic value. The preferreds offer a compelling 8% yield on cost. This yield has been catalyzed by a rally in the long-term US 10-year Treasury yield. HFRO's common shares are trading at a material discount to net asset value, with efforts to reduce the gap ongoing.

The closed-end fund space saw a significant narrowing of discounts throughout 2024 as equity markets charged higher and now discounts remain tight heading into 2025.
