FTHY: Avoid This Ticking Clock From The HY CEF Segment
The First Trust High Yield Opportunities 2027 Term Fund (FTHY) is a term CEF set to liquidate in August 2027, offering NAV payout at termination. FTHY trades at a -2.6% discount to NAV, presenting potential for discount closure upon liquidation, but carries structural risks. The portfolio's average maturity of 5.19 years mismatches the fund's one-year remaining tenor, exposing investors to market risk if credit spreads widen.
