CEF Advisors’ proprietary CEFData® platform offers a comprehensive view of the listed- and non-listed fund universe. Built and curated in-house since 2011, the database covers US closed-end funds (CEFs), business development companies (BDCs) both listed and non-traded and private, interval funds, tender-offer funds, select ETFs, and London-listed CEFs, helping bring clarity to an area where information is often fragmented.

Fresher

Core statistics—market prices, NAVs, discounts, leverage, distribution details, and corporate actions—are refreshed each trading day. Intraday updates capture dividend declarations and regulatory filings as they become public, so users can incorporate new information without waiting for end-of-week batches.

More Accurate

Data flows through a multi-step validation process that cross-checks sponsor filings, exchange feeds, and independent vendors. Exceptions are flagged and manually reviewed before publication, and historical corrections are logged to provide an audit trail when funds restate past numbers.

More Granular

CEFData® tracks portfolio-level details such as sector allocation, duration, discount z-scores, UNII trends, leverage structures, option-writing overlays, and activist ownership. More than 150 standardized fields—plus custom tags for ESG screens, collar strategies, and tax attributes—let investors, advisors, and institutions analyze the universe at a depth not available in many summary feeds.

Whether you need a single snapshot or a deep historical series, CEF Advisors provides timely, vetted, and granular information designed to support disciplined portfolio construction and monitoring.
