ECF has seen its discount narrow since our prior update, but it remains a rather attractive play in the convertible closed-end fund space. The fund has also garnered interest from Saba Capital Management, which has been seen growing its position more recently. The quarterly distribution and 5% minimum annual distribution policy are areas that could use 'some improvement' to potentially narrow the discount.

The Ellsworth Growth and Income Fund has shown significant improvement since our last update. Despite this, the fund is still trading at a favorable discount. ECF's portfolio offers a mix of convertible securities and some equity exposure, providing diversification.
The Ellsworth Growth and Income Fund Ltd offers a high level of income without sacrificing potential upside from common stocks. The ECF closed-end fund's recent performance has been disappointing, with a 41.67% share price decline over the past three years. The fund has been consistently underperforming both common stocks and convertible bonds over both short-term and longer terms.
