The inherent inefficiency of closed-end funds provides opportunities for RiverNorth, one of the largest institutional investors in the space, to take advantage of discounts, premiums and dislocations. Patrick Galley, portfolio manager of the RiverNorth Core Opportunity Fund, has the flexibility to invest across all asset classes and build a diversified mix of closed-end funds and ETFs. While the fund doesn’t time the markets, it adds alpha through timing the discounts.
