Description: STEW SRH Total Return Fund November 13, 2025
SRH Total Return Fund, Inc. (NYSE: STEW) is a closed-ended, balanced fund managed by Paralel Advisors with Rocky Mountain Advisers as sub-adviser. It pursues a global, bottom-up strategy that blends fundamental and quantitative analysis to select dividend-paying value equities across all market caps and corporate-issued fixed-income securities. The portfolio’s performance is measured against the S&P 500 Composite Index, and the fund is domiciled in the United States.
As of the latest filing, STEW reports an expense ratio of roughly 0.85 % and total net assets of about $1.2 billion, placing it in the mid-size tier for closed-ended funds. The fund’s weighted-average dividend yield hovers near 4.2 %, which is above the S&P 500’s ~1.8 % yield, reflecting its bias toward high-yielding value stocks. Its credit exposure is tilted toward investment-grade corporate bonds, providing a modest cushion against rising rates-a key macro driver given the Federal Reserve’s current tightening cycle.
For investors interested in digging deeper into STEW’s risk-adjusted returns and sector allocations, a quick look at ValueRay’s analytics dashboard can surface the fund’s historical alpha and sensitivity to interest-rate shifts, helping you gauge whether its value-focused, income-oriented tilt aligns with your portfolio goals.
