As an income investor, never neglect your fixed-income exposure. Rescue your portfolio by benefitting from its selloff in this short-sighted market. These securities generate income regardless of interim trading value.

I Am Loading Up On Bonds And Preferreds For Today's Uncertain Times

The last time I covered PIMCO's Dynamic Income Fund I called it a buy because of the potential for high income, and capital gains brought on by interest rate cuts. The high income is likely to continue being paid, but the rate cuts appear less likely to materialize. Capital gains are looking less likely. The problem is that inflation has ticked up and so the likelihood of the Federal Reserve doing interest rate cuts has decreased.

PIMCO Dynamic Income Fund currently has a dividend yield close to 14%, which is very attractive for income investors. However, the PDI closed-end fund's yield is not enough to: A) make it competitive in terms of total returns; or B) compensate for the risk exposure of its underlying holdings.

PDI: 14% Dividend Is Not Enough

PIMCO Dynamic Income Fund (PDI) has been recovering since October 2023, with shares appreciating by 25.05% and 8.19% YTD. PDI focuses on generating current income and investing in global debt and income-producing securities. The author is bullish on PDI, believing that it will continue to rebound and could potentially reach the mid-20s by the end of 2024.

I know that no one wants to talk about the 2020/2021 lockdowns anymore. But those dark days did do one critical thing for the high-yield corporate-bond market: made these so-called “junk bonds” too big to fail.

Funds rely on at-the-market offerings and capital gains to make up for earnings shortfalls and maintain distributions. Coverage levels for taxable funds declined in January due to the falling value of the dollar. Net investment income production has been declining for several years, leading to potential distribution cuts and overvalued NAVs.

Pimco Closed-End Funds Declare Monthly Common Share Distributions

The rally of income-producing assets appears to be losing steam as optimism around near-term rate cuts begins to fade. PIMCO Dynamic Income Fund has sustained the highest yield among PIMCO's closed-end funds. PDI faces risks related to the sustainability of its dividend and its rapid expansion through share issuances.

PDI: What Lurks Under The Hood Of PIMCO's Crown Jewel

PIMCO Dynamic Income Fund offers a high dividend yield of 13.7% and actively manages its fixed-income portfolio for outsized returns. However, I would not touch PDI right now and rate it a Sell. I share three big reasons to avoid this high-yield CEF.

2023 year-end review of our 8% Income Portfolio. This high-income portfolio earned over $29,000 in distributions amounting to over 14% yield-on-cost basis and roughly 8.6% on average portfolio value. We will provide updates on trades during the year, dividends collected, and overall performance. As usual, we will compare the performance with a traditional 60:40 stock/bond portfolio.

The 8% Income Portfolio: 2023 Year-End Review

PIMCO Dynamic Income Fund offers a 14.2% dividend yield but is now selling at a 10% premium to net asset value. The fund may not see as fast a decline in short-term interest rates as expected, delaying a broader re-rating. Recent inflation data raises concerns about the fund's ability to benefit from lower interest rates, leading to a downgrade to a Hold rating.

PDI: 14% Yield, But Risks Are Rising (Rating Downgrade)

Lately, the market has been recalibrating the consensus on the interest rate cuts, which has sent duration-heavy assets down. PIMCO Dynamic Income Opportunities Fund and PIMCO Dynamic Income Fund are clearly subject to "higher for longer" risk with a limited buffer on distributions. In this article, I compare both of these Funds and give my opinion as to which one is a better choice.

Interest Rates May Stay Higher For Longer: PDI And PDO At Risk

Not much has changed fundamentally in taxable PIMCOs, but there has been a shift in valuations and sentiment. The drop in the dollar has put downward pressure on funds with exposure to foreign bonds and currency forwards contracts. Leverage is a key consideration for assessing NAV trends, and some funds have reduced leverage significantly in the past month.
