PDT has historically delivered solid total returns but has experienced high levels of volatility. The fund currently trades at an attractive discount to NAV relative to historical norms, and the fund has a repurchase authorization in place. I rate PDT a Hold but would consider downgrading to Sell if its discount to NAV were to narrow. DKosig/iStock via Getty Images The John Hancock Premium Dividend Fund ( PDT ) is a closed-end fund ("CEF") that seeks to provide investors with a high level of current income and modest capital appreciation. PDT, launched in December 1989, currently has net assets of $691 million, a 7.6% distribution This article was written by Analyst's Disclosure: I/we have no stock, option or similar derivative position in any of the companies mentioned, and no plans to initiate any such positions within the next 72 hours.
