BME for your consideration.

A brief description of the fund. Under normal market conditions the Fund will invest at least 80% if its total assets in equity securities of companies engaged in the health sciences and related industries and equity derivatives with exposure to the health sciences industry.

The fund has a 5.42% yield and sells at a 1.03% premium to NAV. BME usually trades around par anyway and it's average price to NAV is a premium of 2.57% so it is still currently under average.

The fund uses almost no leverage, coming in at 0.07% and it isn't paying the distribution using ROC. The latest distribution increase came in at 7%.

If one is looking to reinvest the distributions, this fund has outperformed the market since inception in 2005. So it's been through the Great Recession.

In the link below you will see where a $10K investment in both BME and SPY back in 2005 would now generate the following:

BME - balance $67,669 - a 12.76% CAGR.
SPY - balance $49,983 - a 10.64% CAGR
