Closed-end funds can have high dividend yields because of three factors: 1) they use leverage; 2) they can have very high realized capital gains distributions because they are actively traded; and 3) some CEFs try to maintain such a high dividend yield that they end up making distributions that are partially return of capital. If you are new to closed-end funds, you can read about closed-end funds. You can also try studying closed-end funds using our browse closed-end funds tool.
