Extended read
The 'Warsh effect' is manifesting in the widening of discounts for income-oriented closed-end funds. Investors are pricing in a more aggressive inflation-fighting mandate, which increases the discount rate applied to future distributions. This creates a potential 'value trap' or opportunity depending on the terminal rate outlook.
