Chuck Jaffe on the NAVigator Podcast

Chuck Jaffe joined Jane King in New York City to discuss the fifth anniversary of the weekly NAVigator Podcast, the podcast he hosts for the Active Investment Company Alliance (AICA). Jaffe talks about how the podcast has grown in popularity and helped to raise the profile of the closed-end fund industry. He says investors who listen to the podcast eventually become comfortable with closed-end funds and end up engaging with them — and when they work — stick with them. Noting he’s a journalist and “not a Wall Street guy,” Jaffe says he tries to explain closed-end funds in ways that the average person can understand.

Materials may contain “forward-looking” information that is not purely historical in nature, such as projections, forecasts, market return estimates, proposed or expected portfolio composition, and other items. Listed closed-end funds and business development companies trade on exchanges at prices that may be above or below their NAVs. There is no guarantee that an investor will be able to sell shares at a price greater than or equal to the purchase price or that a closed-end fund’s discount will narrow. Non-listed closed-end funds and business development companies do not offer investors daily liquidity but rather offer liquidity on a monthly, quarterly or semi-annual basis, often on a small percentage of shares. Closed-end funds often use leverage, which can increase the fund’s volatility (i.e., risk). Actual distribution amounts may vary with fund performance and other conditions. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. This material is not intended to be a recommendation or investment advice, does not constitute a solicitation to buy, sell or hold a security or an investment strategy, and is not provided in a fiduciary capacity. Shares of closed-end funds are subject to investment risks, including the possible loss of principal invested. Closed-end funds frequently trade at a discount to their net asset value (NAV).
