Charles Lewis Sizemore, chief investment officer at Sizemore Capital Management, says that while short-term rates are as high as they are likely to be, the "massive discount" created in closed-end funds while rates were on the rise have not dissipated. That means closed-end funds remain a compelling value now, and Sizemore said he is finding particularly strong values in REIT-oriented funds and term funds. However, he noted that he's not a big fan of most equity-based funds now because with the market looking frothy "you probably don't want to be adding leveraged exposure to the stock market."
