The Clough Global Equity Fund (GLQ) provides global equity exposure with the flexibility to short stocks. It currently trades at a 10.19% discount and yields 10.48%, though this yield may not fully compensate for its mixed long-term performance.

The fund maintains a managed 10% distribution policy, resetting annually, with recent return-of-capital distributions reflecting capital loss carryforwards despite positive performance.
