Core Investment Thesis
1
The Opportunity
Closed-end funds trade at persistent discounts to NAV, creating arbitrage opportunities that systematic strategies can exploit.
Universe Discipline
Solactive Top 50 CEFs provide a vetted, liquid pool of proven discount and yield candidates
Signal Stack
Discount Z-score + short-term RSI + relative strength filter combine fundamental value with technical timing
Tax-Aware Execution
QuantConnect signals trigger IBKR API orders with intelligent lot selection for IRA, RRSP, and SIPP accounts
Higher Net Yield

Expense & Assets
Discount Z-Score (40% weight)
Compute each fund's current discount using rolling 180-day mean and standard deviation. Funds trading at extreme discounts relative to their historical range score highest.
Yield Component (25% weight)
Distribution yield matters for retirement income. Higher yields increase attractiveness, but must be sustainable and supported by NAV coverage.
RSI Momentum (20% weight)
14-period RSI and 30/90-day relative strength vs. the pool identify oversold conditions and reversal setups.
Expense & Assets (15% weight)
Lower expense ratios and adequate AUM ensure the fund is cost-efficient and liquid enough for execution.
Updates Daily
Algorithm responds to changing discount dynamics without human intervention.
Continuously Optimized
Produces a live watch list of the most compelling CEF opportunities.
No Manual Override Needed
Systematic scoring removes emotion and bias from fund selection.
Signal Rules & Entry Logic
The system employs strict quantitative triggers to enter and scale positions. A buy signal fires when three conditions align: discount Z-score drops to -1.5 or lower, RSI falls below 40 indicating oversold conditions, and 30-day relative strength places the fund in the bottom quartile of the pool. This triple confirmation reduces false signals and concentrates capital on the most statistically significant opportunities.
For funds that continue to cheapen, the algorithm adds a second tranche when the Z-score reaches -2.5, averaging down into deeper value. This disciplined scaling approach increases exposure to extreme dislocations while maintaining risk control through position limits.
Exit discipline is equally rigorous. Positions close when the discount Z-score reverts to -0.5 or higher (capturing mean reversion), RSI rises above 65 (indicating overbought conditions), or a time stop triggers at 180 days (preventing capital from being tied up indefinitely in non-performing holdings). These rules ensure the strategy realizes gains, avoids overstaying reversals, and maintains portfolio turnover within target ranges.

Risk Controls & Operational Guardrails
Turnover Cap
Target ≤12 trades/year per account to align with breakeven economics and minimize transaction drag
Drawdown Control
Portfolio stop if rolling 60-day drawdown exceeds configurable threshold (e.g., 8-12%)
Liquidity Filter
Exclude funds with insufficient average daily volume or extreme bid/ask spreads to ensure executable fills
Concentration Limits
Cap single-CEF exposure and sector/strategy buckets to diversify risk across the portfolio
Compliance
Restrict automated trading to account types that permit it; disable dividend capture in taxable accounts when tax drag outweighs benefit
These controls aren't just good practice—they're essential for sustainable alpha generation. Excessive turnover erodes performance through commissions and slippage. Drawdown stops protect capital during market dislocations. Liquidity filters prevent execution at unfavorable prices. Concentration limits reduce single-position risk. And compliance restrictions ensure the strategy operates within regulatory and account-specific constraints. Together, these guardrails transform a promising signal into a robust, production-ready system.
