JCE: Large-Cap Equity Fund With Call Options, 8.15% Yield, And 5.7% Discount
Nuveen Core Equity Alpha Fund (JCE) is a large‑cap equity closed‑end fund that employs a call‑overlay strategy to generate income. The fund offers an 8.14% distribution yield while trading at a 5.7% discount to NAV, supported by a sustainable, tax‑advantaged distribution policy. Its long‑term performance closely mirrors the S&P 500, but the call overlay has limited upside, leading to recent underperformance in strong markets. Analysts rate the fund as a hold, recommending it primarily for investors who prioritize regular income over capital appreciation.
