DMO: Distribution Trim Doesn't Push The Discount Wide Enough

Western Asset Mortgage Opportunity Fund remains unappealing due to a shallow discount and persistent lack of distribution coverage, even after a recent distribution cut. DMO's high leverage amplifies returns but also increases volatility, raising risk for investors in lower credit quality investments. DMO could be appealing if the discount widened significantly, particularly with the distribution coverage gap growing; there should be a wider discount to compensate for that.
