Some CEFs have managed distribution policies that are linked directly or indirectly to their NAVs, allowing investors to forecast changes in distributions with varying accuracy.Recent volatility has already caused some CEFs to lower their distributions as a result of the March drawdown, causing their discounts to widen relative to their sectors.Tactically, we like ERC and ERH here as they should see a rise in distributions in Q2, accompanied by a reversal of their recent discount underperformance.We would also tactically tilt away from RIV and OPP whose distributions will likely shift lower at the start of the year, assuming the funds retain the current MDP.

The high-flying cell tower sector has thrived throughout the pandemic. Cellular network capacity has been pushed to the limits as businesses, schools, and individuals stay connected via virtual interaction.5G is here. Apple's upcoming iPhone 12 launch represents the true "arrival" of 5G, the much-anticipated next-generation mobile network that promises to usher in a new era of technological innovation.Cell tower REITs will be the "hub" of these 5G networks, augmented by higher-density small cells. High-power macro towers provide the most economical mix of wide coverage and capacity.Fixed wireless broadband - using a cell network for home broadband - will be 5G’s true “killer app” and will fundamentally disrupt the telecommunications space, likely to the benefit of consumers.Cell tower REITs continue to benefit from favorable competitive positioning within the telecommunication sector. While these REITs are priced for perfection, low supply and high demand should translate into continued pricing power for cell tower REITs.
