WEA: Discount Widens To An Attractive Level
Prospectus, capital raise, listingProfit distribution and payments
Western Asset Premier Bond Fund now trades at a -6.45% discount, offering a more attractive entry point. WEA's 7.83% yield is supported by a diversified, investment-grade-tilted portfolio, with 65% in BBB and above. Distribution coverage is a bit lacking, but nothing out of the ordinary relative to other fixed-income funds; plus, NII moving higher is expected as Fed rate cuts reduce leverage costs.
