    BWG And FCO: FCO Gets To Absurd Premium, Making BWG A Reasonable Alternative

    seekingalpha.com

    2025-07-07 10:13:08

    BWG remains a more attractive option than FCO due to its favorable valuation, though FCO has outperformed. This outperformance came from FCO seeing its premium climb to all-time high levels, pushing into triple-digit territory. Combining the incredibly high premium with an unsustainable distribution rate makes FCO a poor investment, and BWG looks more favorable.

    BrandywineGLOBAL Global Income Opportunities Fund provides global diversification for income-focused investors. The BWG closed-end fund outperformed U.S. bond indices over the past several months, showing potential for higher returns. The BWG fund's leverage declined slightly over the past nine months, but it is still higher than peers, so it will probably be more volatile.

    We last covered FCO around 9 months ago; at that time, it appeared BWG was the better bet in this space. That has played out to some degree, with BWG showing better total share price returns during that period. However, this largely came from BWG's discount narrowing as FCO's premium has actually stayed fairly elevated.

    FCO And BWG: A Swap Opportunity Presents Itself

    seekingalpha.com

    2023-07-10 17:31:37

    The abrdn Global Income Fund is showing signs of an unsustainable high distribution rate and a high premium, which could lead to poor results. The BrandywineGLOBAL - Global Income Opportunities Fund offers a more sustainable alternative for global fixed-income investments, despite an elevated distribution, due to its deep discount. The biggest risk to this swap is FCO remaining at its current high valuation or pushing even higher into premium territory, producing an opportunity cost if BWG stays at a deep discount and FCO rises.
