ADVDX (open-end fund) and AOD (closed-end fund) are both overseen by managers Jill Evans and Kevin Shacknofsky. They are both governed by the same investment objectives and strategies. And not surprisingly, both have similar sector weightings and portfolio composition — in fact, they share three of the same top-five holdings.

ADVDX is currently yielding 23.35% and selling at a NAV of $5.07; AOD is yielding 16.14% and is selling at a 26.70% premium of $9.01. All of which is to say that ADVDX looks like the better bet over AOD at this point. Currently three dividend investing newsletters are also recommending ADVDX. Both are monthly payers!!!

Action to Take –> With AOD trading at a huge premium, you might be better off with ADVDX over AOD this point. Not only will you pick up many of the same stocks at a better price, but you’ll also shave a few basis points in annual expenses. For right now, I am buying ADVDX with my current dividends rather than sister fund AOD.
