Scott Bessent Appointment Makes This 11% Yield A 'Screaming Buy'

The article from Forbes, written by Brett Owens, discusses the recent appointment of Scott Bessent as the new CEO of the closed-end fund (CEF) known as the Cornerstone Total Return Fund (CRF). Bessent, a former Soros Fund Management partner, is expected to bring significant changes to the fund, which currently offers an 11% yield. The article highlights that despite the fund's high yield, it has been trading at a substantial discount to its net asset value (NAV), around 15%. Owens suggests that with Bessent's expertise and the potential for improved management, the fund could see a reduction in this discount, making it an attractive buy for investors seeking high-yield opportunities. The piece also touches on the broader context of CEFs, explaining how they can offer high dividends and the potential for capital appreciation when managed effectively.
