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.
