Methodology
- Universe: active, SEC-verified, exchange-listed traditional closed-end funds with a current price. BDCs, unlisted and unverified funds are excluded.
- Daily total-return observations over 3 years, minimum 500; annualised with √252.
- Risk-free rate: FRED DGS3MO averaged over the window. Sortino uses downside deviation of excess returns.
- NAV-based and price-based statistics are not interchangeable; the basis is shown in the column header.
- Sample requirement: ≥500 daily observations.
- Tie-breaker: higher 3-month average dollar volume, then ticker.
- Refresh: nightly after the U.S. close; price-dependent columns refresh during the session. Missing values are shown as missing, never as zero.
- Paid placements never alter these rankings. Full details: ranking methodology.
