DPG: Good Fund, Reasonable But Premium Valuation

Utilities and infrastructure are generally good entities for retirees and other income-focused investors. DPG invests in these generally stable entities and boasts a reasonably diversified portfolio that is mostly focused on utilities and midstream. The future of both utilities and midstream is quite bright, although electric utilities may not see the growth that some people expect. The fund easily covered its distributions during the most recent fiscal period, which is very comforting. The valuation is a premium but not nearly as high as it typically averages.

Evaluating CEFs: DPG Had A Good Year, But Still Is Overpaying The Distribution

DPG has an attractive 9.6% yield and I like the manager. This is a great investment if it can support the distribution. I continue my series looking at CEFs beyond just the yield. While the fund did well over the last year, its long-term performance and distribution coverage is still a concern. This last year's performance isn't enough to make it a buy, but it likely put off the inevitable distribution cut.

DPG: ~9.6% Distribution Rate On This Utility Fund

DPG recently slid from its historically high premium before charging back up higher. Though some of this had come from a decline in NAV as utilities have sold off. The fund has historically been weaker than its peers, but that doesn't necessarily mean going forward it will be the same result.

DPG: An Interesting Way To Bet On Renewables

One of the most popular investments among conservative investors looking for income is utilities. This makes a great deal of sense as these entities tend to have very stable business models and reasonably attractive dividend yields. Today's zero-interest rate environment has mad these yields less attractive than they once were though as investors that are hungry for yield have flocked into the sector and thus pushing stock prices up and dividend yields down.
