SOR: The Best Performing 60/40 CEF, Now With A Discount

Summary SOR is a closed-end fund that broadly follows a 60% equity, 40% fixed income allocation. The vehicle displays the best risk/reward analytics from the analyzed cohort, and currently trades at a discount to NAV. The 60/40 portfolio has experienced a historic high drawdown in 2022, on the back of a positive correlation with stocks. The article compares a number of 60/40 CEFs we have recently reviewed. Binary Tree Analytics (BTA) runs a diversified portfolio, focused on CEFs and yield-generating options strategies. Thesis We have looked at a number of 60/40 or 70/30 CEFs as of late, hence we are going to do a re-fresh on Source Capital (SOR) and see how the fund is doing and how it benchmarks against the cohort. The 60% equity, 40% bonds portfolio is the result of a classic portfolio build, that advocates for lower volatility by utilizing this asset distribution matrix. In a normalized rates environment when equities sell off, bond yields decrease, hence the relationship does exhibit a set-off. This year has been different, with one of the most negative historical performances for this type of portfolio: Historic Performance (Compound Capital) Due to both rising rates and lower equities, the 60/40 portfolio has taken a severe beating. There are many voices questioning the long term viability of this set-up. We do not think the 60/40 portfolio is dead, and with most of the rate hikes now behind us, the market is now starting to price in rate cuts for late 2023 / beginning of 2024. We have analyzed and reviewed a number of CEFs in this space: Clough Global Equity (NYSE:GLQ) which we reviewed here Clough Global Dividend and Income Fund (GLV) which we reviewed here Thornburg Income Builder Opportunities Trust (TBLD) which we analyzed here and the iShares Core Growth Allocation ETF (AOR) which we reviewed here We are going to summarize them and look at their leverage, risk/reward metrics and performance to gauge the best allocation from the cohort. Ultimately, like in any other instance, the CEF wrapper purely transforms capital markets gains into monthly dividends, so if the CEF structures do not deliver an outperformance or even a matching performance to a plain vanilla index via an ETF, there is no point investing in such instruments. CEF Comparison (Author) We have parsed out the CEFs vs the ETF in the above table. We can see there are some CEFs with no leverage (such as SOR and TBLD), while the ETF, by its construction has zero leverage. The highest standard deviation is exposed by the most leveraged name, i.e. GLQ. GLQ has the largest drawdown as well, but not the lowest Sharpe ratio. That is reserved for GLV, which we penciled in as a Sell in our most recent article. The highest Sharpe ratio (risk/reward ratio) comes from SOR. So does the largest 5-year total return. Performance Comparison On a year to date basis, SOR is the best performing fund: Total Return (Seeking Alpha) Moreover, SOR has the shallowest drawdown from all of the analyzed vehicles. On the metric observed above, SOR outperforms handily the AOR ETF, which speaks well to the fund. The story is very similar on a 5-year time frame: Total Return (Seeking Alpha) We can see that the most leveraged fund GLQ was the outperformer during the zero rates environment, but due to the market drawdown this year the fund has fallen the most. Leverage helps on the way up, but it really drags you in on the way down. SOR Holdings The fund has decreased its equity sleeve as of late: Allocation (Fund Fact Sheet) We can see from the above pie chart that the CEF has reduced the equity slice to roughly 50% now (when adding the U.S. Equity and the Non-U.S Equity slices). On the bond side it has an even distribution among Private Credit, IG Credit and Non-IG names.
