ERC: The Foreign Currency Exposure Is Very Nice Here

2025-11-26 13:34:59The Allspring Multi-Sector Income Fund (ERC) offers a 9.34% yield, blending domestic and foreign bonds, and aims to limit U.S. interest rate risk. ERC has outperformed major bond indices and most peers on total return over the past decade, despite not having the highest yield among multisector CEFs. The fund's managed distribution plan leads to variable monthly payouts, and while recent coverage was tight, NAV has remained stable over the longer term.

ERC: Paying Out More Than It Earns
seekingalpha.com
2025-08-07 07:29:42I maintain my hold rating on ERC due to its questionable dividend coverage and ongoing risks from the high interest rate environment. ERC offers an attractive 9.3% yield and trades at a wider-than-average discount to NAV, but struggles with dividend sustainability and earnings coverage. The fund's aggressive leverage and high exposure to below-investment-grade debt increase risk, especially if interest rates remain elevated or defaults rise.

ES Bancshares, Inc. Announces the Receipt of the First Installment of Its Employee Retention Tax Credit
globenewswire.com
2025-05-20 14:59:00STATEN ISLAND, N.Y., May 20, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ES Bancshares, Inc. (OTCQX: ESBS) (the “Company”) the holding company for Empire State Bank, (the “Bank”) today reported that the Company received a check for the first installment of $268 thousand of its Employee Retention Tax Credit. The first installment will be reported in our second quarter 2025 earnings results. The Bank filed a claim in 2023 to the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) for $1.2 million, plus applicable interest, in Employee Retention Credits (“ERC”) for the years 2020 and 2021. ERC are a refundable payroll tax credit for eligible businesses that paid qualified wages during the COVID-19 pandemic. ERC are generally considered non-taxable income but also require the Company to file amended tax returns for 2020 and 2021 to reduce the associated payroll tax deductions that were previously reported as normal business expenses, which increases the federal income taxes due for those periods. The Company expects to receive multiple ERC installments throughout 2025 and 2026.
