The RiverNorth Opportunities Fund offers a high yield of 12.30%, appealing to income-focused investors, but its high expenses and poor historical performance may be concerning. The fund primarily invests in closed-end funds, business development companies, and SPACs, aiming to profit from price inefficiencies and leverage. The fund reduced its allocation to closed-end funds and went to cash in the third quarter for some reason. This may be due to compressed discounts in the asset class.

RiverNorth Opportunities Fund offers a high current yield of 12.41%, much higher than its peers. The fund focuses on closed-end funds, ETFs, SPACs, and BDCs to capitalize on market inefficiencies. The fund's strategy works pretty well for delivering both a high level of current income and capital gains.

RIV: Good Fund With A Solid Strategy, But Price Is A Bit High

RiverNorth Opportunities Fund is a closed-end fund that invests in a diversified portfolio of equity, fixed income, and alternative assets. Despite a decline in price, RIV's total return has performed well compared to its benchmark, the Vanguard Balanced Index Fund. RIV currently trades below its average discount, making it an attractive option for income-focused portfolios with a high distribution rate of 12.72%.

RIV: This May Be Your Last Chance For The Discount

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--RiverNorth Opportunities Fund, Inc.

RiverNorth Opportunities Fund, Inc. Announces Change in Fiscal Year End

RiverNorth Opportunities fund continues to trade at an attractive valuation relative to its historical level. The fund is highly diversified, with the largest exposure in other closed-end funds, and offers a multi-asset approach with an attractive distribution rate. The fund looks relatively attractive; however, it is overdue for a rights offering that it had done annually - a rights offering could see the discount widen further.

Several high-yielding closed-end funds have announced increased monthly distributions for 2024. The funds mentioned have a forward annual yield exceeding 10%, except for one that yields 9.5%.

5 High Yield CEFs That Raised Distributions In 2024

RIV is a "fund of funds," meaning it invests in other closed-end funds (CEFs), business development company (BDC) debt, exchange-traded funds (ETFs), and special purpose acquisition companies (SPACs). RIV's performance has been influenced by interest rates, and it tends to perform poorly in years when rates are rising. It aims to benchmark itself against the S&P 500. The fund's largest allocation is in CEFs (59%), followed by 14% in BDC debt and equity, 10% in SPACs, and it also has a short position in the S&P 500.

RIV: Fund Of Funds, 15% Yield

High inflation is a major problem in the U.S., pushing up the cost of living and putting pressure on household budgets. Investors can earn income by purchasing shares of closed-end funds like the RiverNorth Opportunities Fund. The RIV closed-end fund uses leverage and a unique strategy to boost its effective yield, but it comes with higher risk and uncertain distribution sustainability.

RIV: This 13.73%-Yielding CEF Has Unique Qualities, But Be Careful Of Leverage

RiverNorth Opportunities Fund is trading at an attractive discount, with a diverse portfolio and exposure to fixed income, SPACs, investment company bonds, and equity. The fund's discount and underlying CEFs' discounts provide potential upside, but leverage increases risks and adds volatility. RIV is not a set-and-forget investment but should be traded around between its discounts/premiums and rights offerings.

RIV: A Tempting Discount

Investors are desperate for new sources of income to maintain their lifestyles in the face of a rapidly-rising cost of living. RIV invests in SPACs, BDCs, and CEFs, which allows it to add a great deal of diversification to an ordinary stock and bond portfolio.
