Closed-end funds, which trade at prices that can deviate significantly from their asset value, offer potential bargains but also risks. While discounts on closed-end funds may seem appealing, they don't necessarily enhance returns unless the fund's portfolio is converted into cash. A formula combining discount, distribution rate, and expense ratio can help identify closed-end funds worth considering. Funds with negative cost of ownership, where distributions offset expenses, can be attractive. However, premium-priced funds with high expenses and lavish payouts should be avoided. Liquidations are rare, so it's important to assess whether the payouts and discount offset expenses before investing in a fund with high costs.
First Republic Bank has suspended payments on each of its seven series of preferred stock, making common stock a better option for investors.

While the advantages of preferred stock still apply, the downside potential for both common and preferred is probably identical or close to it. The common shares are a vastly superior option for investors who are comfortable with the risk.
