CEF Advisors Unveils New Website and Enhanced CEFData® Platform

Closed-End Fund Advisors Inc. (CEF Advisors), a fee-only SEC-registered investment advisory firm focused on closed-end funds (CEFs), has officially announced the launch of its redesigned website, www.CEFData.com. The new platform aims to simplify access to a wealth of investment resources, uniting the firm's various advisory services, proprietary research, and educational content under a single umbrella.

Centralizing Advisory and Data Services

The revamped site integrates customized income-focused separate accounts (SMAs), the firm's business development company (BDC) fund, and the CEFData® research engine—a well-regarded resource in the financial sector. This coherent structure is engineered to provide investors with seamless access to critical data on CEFs, interval funds, and tender-offer funds, facilitating informed and strategic investment decisions.

Expanded Data and Research Coverage

The platform is set to roll out significant enhancements this fall, including:

• - London CEF Investment Trusts: Coverage will now include UK-listed funds, broadening the investment scope for users.
• - ETF Select File: A curated list of over 300 U.S.-listed ETFs that will serve as trading and hedging companions for CEFs.
• - Enhanced Profile Pages: Expanded details for interval, tender-offer funds, ETFs, and the newly included London CEFs.

These updates will significantly bolster the user experience by offering more detailed insights into an expanded range of investment options.

Reliability and Accuracy

Since its inception in 2011, CEFData® has been meticulously maintained in-house, ensuring daily updates concerning Net Asset Values (NAVs), discounts, distributions, and important filings. The platform achieves high standards of accuracy through multi-source validation and incorporates over 350 data fields that reflect crucial aspects such as leverage, UNII coverage, and activist activity, providing a robust framework for data analysis and investment insights.

Legacy and Educational Resources

In addition to enhancing its data offerings, the new site emphasizes preserving CEF Advisors' legacy and commitment to investor education. It features:

• - The Scott Letter Archive (1988–2018): A digital repository of the newsletter founded by George Cole Scott, containing invaluable insights over three decades.
• - Quarterly Research Call Hub: Improved accessibility to slides, replays, and market commentary from over 56 continuous briefings.
• - Firm History Page: A section dedicated to showcasing over 50 years of innovation and breakthroughs in CEF investing.

These educational resources not only advantage investors but also guarantee the continuation of CEF Advisors' rich legacy in the financial industry.
