Index beating returns, a big discount to NAV, generous income. Since '86, this fund has outperformed its index, and we expect it to continue. A key holding for any serious income investor.

RVT is a closed-end fund that primarily invests in the small-cap space and invests in companies that have strong fundamentals and the potential to provide high growth. Besides growth potential, currently, the fund yields nearly 7.4%, making it a good investment for income investors. With the potential for year-end higher payouts, the yield can be even higher. With interest rates set to decline, this fund is likely to do well in 2025, even if rates decline at a slower pace than previously thought.

Small caps have underperformed compared to the S&P 500, but active management and stock picking are crucial for better returns. Royce Small-Cap Trust is recommended for its 7% dividend and strong long-term performance, outperforming both small-cap and S&P 500 indices. RVT is poised for an upside breakout, driven by post-election relief and undervalued stocks catching up.

Normally when interest rates fall, we closed-end fund (CEF) investors are tempted to pick up a fund like the 7.3%-paying Royce Small-Cap Trust (RVT).

Large-cap stocks like Apple and Microsoft dominate the market, but high valuations suggest limited growth, highlighting the need to explore new opportunities. RVT offers a unique investment in small-cap stocks with experienced management, diversified portfolio, and a sustainable, variable distribution policy. Limited analyst coverage in the small-cap universe provides ample opportunities for active management to find undervalued stocks.
