Payout risk check
CEFD's last 12 distributions were fairly stable (consistency score 88/100).
Its share price moved -12.0% over the past year.
A 16.0% yield paired with a falling share price is the classic sign of NAV erosion: part of each distribution may be a return of your own capital rather than income the fund earned, and the share price can keep grinding lower even while the headline yield looks attractive.

At the current forward yield of 16.04%, you would need about 432 shares of CEFD (roughly $7,482 invested at today's price) to collect $1,200 a year, or $100 a month on average, before taxes. Payments arrive every month, so the monthly figure is an average.
