Description: EHI Western Asset Global High October 29, 2025

Western Asset Global High Income Closed Fund (NYSE: EHI) is a U.S.-based closed-end fund that invests primarily in high-yield (below-investment-grade) corporate bonds, aiming to generate current income and capital appreciation.

Key metrics (as of the most recent quarterly filing, Q2 2025) include a distribution yield of roughly 7.2 % and a weighted-average credit rating of B-, indicating exposure to lower-rated issuers. The fund’s effective duration sits near 4.5 years, making it moderately sensitive to changes in the U.S. Treasury curve.

Economic drivers that materially affect EHI’s performance are the Federal Reserve’s policy stance (higher rates compress high-yield spreads) and the health of the leveraged-finance market (e.g., corporate refinancing activity). A recent sector tilt toward energy and consumer discretionary issuers reflects higher demand for yield in those areas, but also concentrates credit risk.
