Recently, higher distribution yields have played a key role in narrowing market discounts. However, these distribution increases are essentially a gamble on favorable market conditions—namely, lower leverage costs and/or higher long-term bond yields. If the Federal Reserve halts rate cuts at 4%, as economists predict, the decline in leverage costs may fall short of fund managers' expectations. In such a scenario, the sustainability of elevated distributions could face challenges, requiring investors to carefully weigh potential returns against underlying risks. This uncertainty in the market environment serves as a reminder that relying solely on the narrowing of discounts driven by higher yields may lead to unexpected drawdowns. Therefore, prudent management of leverage and return expectations is more important than ever.
