And if you have owned it forever you're probably OK. But that is a closed end stock utility fund that is currently trading at a 46% premium to it's net asset value. In other words, you could buy the stocks the funds owns for 46% less than they are charging for them through that fund. I would consider any fund trading at that high of a premium a very high risk.
