Enter the closed-end fund, a relative of the traditional, open-end mutual fund.
Gundlach highlighted closed-end funds on CNBC's " Closing Bell " Wednesday afternoon, noting that it's "a pretty good environment for moderate risk assets."
"For retail investors, closed-end funds have gone back to trading at discounts broadly, and with some leverage involved there, there's double-digit yields available without taking a ton of credit risk," he said.
Searching for discounts Drivers of these closed-end fund discounts, particularly those that hold bonds, include sharp spikes in yields.
The Abrdn National Municipal Income Fund (VFL) , for instance, is trading at a 15% discount to its net asset value, according to Nuveen's CEF Connect, a database of closed-end funds.
