Thanks for the detailed response. Do you need a full service
broker like Morgan staneley etc to buy foreign bonds directly like you have or can you go through a discount broker ? Which discount brokers provide this service ?

Thanks
Anindo

FCO (and FAX) uses leverage and interest it pays on preferred shares may get included in expense ratio.
This link has expense ratio at 0.85%. etfconnect.com
FCO and other CEF most of the time trade at a discount. If you buy at a right time and discount shrinks later it'll make up for fund expenses. OTOH if discount increases after you've bought you can lose even if NAV has increased. Of course it's all not for LTBH because as you said fees are recurring.
