The First Trust Enhanced Equity Income Fund (FFA) provides a 6.67% yield by investing mainly in U.S. technology stocks and using a covered call strategy. While the fund underperformed the S&P 500 over the past year, it still delivered a 20.02% total return, consistent with expectations for this type of income-focused fund. FFA trades at a 9.04% discount to its net asset value, below its five-year average, and has maintained a stable and growing distribution since 2009. Investors should be aware of the fund's heavy concentration in technology, which increases sector-specific risks, particularly related to AI capital expenditures.
