    seekingalpha.com

    2025-07-29 10:10:44

The fund is conservatively positioned with a significant cash allocation and low duration, reducing rate sensitivity but still exposed to tight corporate spreads. PPT trades at a -4% discount to NAV, near the top of its historical range, and its high distribution rate is not fully covered by income.

    PPT: Amortizing Return Of Principal Fund

    seekingalpha.com

    2023-07-20 03:33:59

    The Putnam Premier Income Trust pays an 8.8% distribution yield but only earns 10-year average annual returns of 2.1%. The fund, which has $370 million in assets, also has an unusually high turnover rate of over 1600%. The author recommends that investors avoid the PPT fund and other similar 'return of principal' funds, as they risk losing both principal and income in the long term.
