JQC: High Yield With Monthly Pay, But Coverage Remains A Concern
Nuveen Credit Strategies Income Fund offers a high 12.3% yield but faces weakening distribution coverage due to heavy floating-rate asset exposure. JQC conducted a rights offering earlier this year, which was dilutive and put increased downward pressure on the fund with the broader market in sell-off mode at the time too. Distribution coverage has continued its downward trend, with further deterioration likely as the Fed continues to cut rates, impacting JQC's income generation.
