One of it's largest hold (PEO) is another CEF that's selling at a discount. So it's actually selling at double discounts.

Has underperformed S&P500 for 3, 5, and 10 years, with mostly large-cap holdings. Dividend history is confusing, pays a nickle Q1,2&3; than in November pays a much larger dividend that is mostly made up of a return of capital, draining the value of the fund. Actual dividends passed on from holdings is much less:

Distribution Yield (Market) 4.63%
Income Only Yield 1.30%

Adams appears to yield income less than the S&P500. Compare ADX's 1.3% to SPY's 1.92%.

IMO, Adams' benefit of 14.7% discount to NAV is eaten up by fees (Mgmt Fees   0.667%, Expense Ratio 0.900%) and poor stock selection.
