Q: can you explain CEFs in a simple staight forward way? I noticed that some have significantly higher fees than none CEFs. What is driving this? Are there tax implications for a canadian holding a CEF in either a registered or non-registered account. i also notice some issue K-1s and some issue 1099s. What the heck is the difference and how does this impact me as a Canadian investor. If you could also point me to a resource that would be fantastic!

Q: I would like to increase my global exposure and was looking at Cymbria, or would Edgepoint Global be a better investment? From your last answers on Cymbria, you stated it was trading at a high premium. What would be a good entry point to buy Cymbria? I notice it has come down a little bit since then. What about the management fee for these products, are they reasonable?
Thank you for all the advice I have received over the years!

Q: I would appreciate your comments about the very old and sleepy closed-end fund United Corporations Ltd (UNC), which trades well below its NAV.

Thanks!

Q: Could you perhaps give me any information regarding this US fund. Its a very small portion of my portfolio. It has made great returns for me since it goobled up a previous fund I was in, in 2017. The dividend is 16.81%. The stock drops of course every time it pays out. Two things I notice as potential trouble. In 2012 it did a 1/4 split? And how problematic are rising interest rate environment for this fund. Thanks......many thanks your information has made me very happy.

Q: I have a large holding of WFS.PR.A. I have done reasonably well on it, with 5.25% return on capital distribution and a stable price, it was much better than any other fixed income I held.
Here is my dilemma, I have to either redeem it now or hold until 2025. Expecting interest rate to go up, I am not sure it will hold its value. My thinking is to redeem it now and perhaps buy it later at a lower price, or just move to other investment. I know this decision is mine, but I highly value your opinion on what you think my best option would be.
Thanks
