Voya option income funds go monthly (portfolio holding) Voya has moved four option income funds from a quarterly distribution schedule to a monthly distribution:   Voya Global Advantage and Premium Opportunity Fund (IGA),  Voya Infrastructure, Industrials and Materials Fund (IDE),  Voya Asia Pacific High Dividend Equity Income Fund (IAE),  Voya Emerging Markets High Dividend Equity Fund (IHD).  Our Income Generator portfolio currently holds IGA at a 7.5% allocation. IGA currently trades at a -12.59% discount with a 9.01% distribution yield, and is rated as a BUY with a \"buy under discount\" of -10%. I view this change as a positive because investors tend to prefer the regularity of monthly distributions over quarterly, and the costs for implementing this change should be minimal. I believe this change is likely an effort by management to tackle the persistent discount of these CEFs in response to Saba accumulating a stake in these funds. Saba's 13D for IGA, indicating active intent, was filed last year on November 1, 2023, and they currently own 6.78% of the fund.  Editor's Note: This article covers one or more microcap stocks.
