Western Asset Diversified Income Fund
Western Asset Diversified Income Fund (WDI) is a closed‑end investment company managed by Western Asset that seeks current income and potential capital appreciation through a diversified portfolio of fixed‑income securities. The fund typically invests across sectors — including investment‑grade and high‑yield corporates, securitised products, preferred securities and emerging‑market debt — aiming to tap multiple sources of yield. As a closed‑end vehicle, WDI’s shares can trade at a premium or discount to net asset value and the fund may use leverage to enhance income, which can amplify gains and losses. Key considerations for investors include interest‑rate sensitivity, credit and liquidity risk, and the potential volatility that comes with leverage and credit exposure. The fund may suit investors looking for diversified income, but it is not without risk; this is general educational information and not personalised investment advice.
