RE:RE:NAV July 24DFN began 2023 at $7.53, and closed today at $6.92, a loss of $0.61. It has declared and paid out $0.60 in dividends, so you would be right about break-even year to date.
DF began 2023 at $3.85, and closed today at $4.15, a gain of $0.30. Despite having paid no dividends, you would be up 7.8% year to date.
The prevailing sky-high premium on DFN and meaningful discount on DF substantially increases the likelihood of DF outperforming DFN in the future given the similarity of their portfolios.
