I just explained the advantage for some of these funds - If the closed end fund is trading at a discount to its Net Asset Value, you can buy a dollar's worth of stocks for less than a dollar.

The risk is time - you don't know how long it will take for the market value to adjust to NAV, if it ever does. All investments have risks.
