Although ETFs have become the exchange-traded investment vehicle of choice over the past 25 years, closed-end funds remain a relevant way to access less liquid and less scalable assets, and for this reason they are often available at a discount to their net asset value with many paying high dividend yields.
As a handy reference, here are a list of websites I use to get lists of closed end funds and investment trusts (as they’re known in the UK) across what I call the “Anglo 4” markets (US, UK, Canada, and Australia). This is of course for reference only (including as a source to maintain my own lists) and is not a recommendation to buy or sell any investment products.
