[ConservativeOptionStrategies] Re: CC cefs BEP/RCC

 

For much of last year, BEP traded at a premium of 5% to 10% or more, currently the premium is only .49%.  However, the fund was only set up to trade for five years, liquidating by March 31, 2010.  My understanding is that they intend to liquidate even sooner.  Also, their 6/09 distribution was 94% return of capital, in other words, they were paying you back your own money.  Given the upcoming liquidation, I would avoid it unless it happened to be trading at a significant discount during the short remaining life of the fund.
