EOD: Distribution Growth Is Nice But Sector Allocation Might Not Be Ideal

The Allspring Global Dividend Opportunity Fund offers a 9.31% yield by blending global dividend equities and junk bonds, with a U.S.-centric portfolio. EOD is overweight technology and underweight energy/materials versus the MSCI ACWI, potentially limiting upside as energy outperforms and interest rates rise. The fund's distribution is variable, targeting a 9% yield on average NAV, and has been well covered by net investment income and realized gains.
