What it replaces
One question. One place to answer it.
Checking whether a fund is worth owning normally means opening four or five tabs and copying figures into a spreadsheet. Here it is one search.
The usual way
- 1A fund data site for the distribution history and the discount
- 2A finance portal for the price, the chart and the NAV
- 3A dividend site for the ex-date and pay date
- 4The sponsor’s own PDF for holdings, leverage and concentration
- 5A newswire search for anything that has just changed
- 6Your own spreadsheet to record what you were actually paid
Six places, none of which agree on how to label anything.
Here
- 1Type the ticker
- 2Read the answer
Payment record, discount and NAV, holdings, news and your own income — on one screen, in the same words every time. The tracker keeps the spreadsheet part for you.
The fund record
A full CEF research record—not another quote page.
A quote tells you what changed today. CEF Complete shows what shareholders have been paid, how the fund trades relative to NAV, what the distribution contains, and what has changed around the fund.
Payment record first
Review payment frequency, missed-payment history, the last distribution change, and upcoming ex-dividend and pay dates before reacting to price.
NAV and total return together
A distribution reduces NAV mechanically. The terminal keeps price and NAV beside the cash paid and the resulting total return.
Distribution composition in context
Separate earned income and realized gains from return of capital—and distinguish constructive or pass-through ROC from persistent destructive ROC.
A CEF-specific risk framework
Organize CEF research across risk levels 1–7. High-income ETFs remain a separate, unrated category.

Import a statement from Fidelity, Schwab or E*Trade and the month fills itself in. Everything you enter stays on your computer — the tracker makes no network calls and nothing is sent to us.
Dividends and realized profits are recorded separately, then measured against the money actually at work.
Return is what the portfolio earned that month as a share of money at work, and “a year at this pace” annualises that single month — it is a reading of one month, not a forecast. Figures shown are illustrative.
Income projection
Model income and working capital on the same chart.
Adjust the assumptions that drive the model, then compare capital growth, monthly income, and cash withdrawn over the selected period. Projections are hypothetical—not guarantees.

growth from what you left in
Green bars show income taken out each year; the gold line tracks working capital, and a dashed line shows the same plan with everything reinvested.
Starting capital, income yield, profit-taking, distribution and gains withdrawals, monthly contributions, and time remain explicit so the user can understand what drives the hypothetical result. The profit-taking rate is a user assumption, not a recommended target.
One connected workflow
From the market screen to working capital.
Every module answers a different part of the same income-investing question. Move between them without rebuilding the research case from scratch.
