ZTR: Hybrid Portfolio With A Monthly Distribution And Attractive Discount
seekingalpha.com
2025-08-25 14:04:50ZTR remains attractively valued, trading at a historical discount despite recent narrowing since our last update. The fund's hybrid approach—utilities, infrastructure equities, and high-quality fixed income—offers a compelling mix for income-focused investors, especially as rates stabilize or come down.

The fund blends equities and fixed income, offering a high 9.8% yield, but its distribution has been repeatedly cut and is partially return of capital. ZTR's long-term performance is weak, with significant price declines offset by distributions; it's not suitable as a core buy-and-hold income holding.
