Unlike most CEFs which list income as their primary-objective, the Virtus Total Return fund (ZTR) and the Gabelli Utility Trust are both focused on capital-appreciation first and income second. Which is rather a surprise since both funds offer very competitive 9.5%+ current market yields paid monthly. And both have similar market prices in the low $6/share range. But that's where the similarities stop. Because when you look at GUT's +96.7% market-price premium compared to ZTR's -11.1% discount, you realize that ZTR's valuation gives it a solid advantage. How do I know that? Because this is not the first time I have done a 'comparative valuation' analysis on GUT. And even though GUT has maintained its premium, it actually has been the loser.
