Re: CEFL component leverage

...with payouts of 7.6% and 8.5% the funds CEFL invests in have plenty of leverage on their own.
This likely true with some -- probably most -- of their components, but the two you cited (EOS and ETY) write options to goose their returns. There's no mention of interest expense (or any other leverage-related liability) in either of their annual reports, and CEFConnect lists them with the 'unleveraged' attribute.

Good point, not so good examples :)
