Portfolio manager Rob Shaker of Shaker Financial Services returns to The Navigator, having been a happy camper when discounts grew massive at the start of the pandemic, and having been more circumspect as they narrowed late in 2020. Now, he's seeing pockets of opportunity, looking for relative bargains and watching to see whether closed-end funds now are repeating their pattern from the financial crisis of 2008, when discounts got huge, then tightened up, then struggled during the "taper tantrum" reaction to Federal Reserve efforts in 2013. He's watching the Fed -- and the market's reaction to it -- now to see if history will repeat for closed-end investments.
