Closed-end fund (CEF) data are commonly used to derive discounts for lack of control (DLOC) for closely held holding companies invested in marketable securities. Updated versions (to January 2020) of two sources of CEF data, prepared by Bruce A. Johnson and James R. Park, are now available:

• “2019-2020 Closed-End Fund Report: Fixed Income Securities.” Use this report to compare privately held family limited partnerships (FLPs) and LLCs that hold money market funds, certificates of deposit, government bonds, municipal bonds, corporate bonds, or other fixed income investments.
• “2019-2020 Closed-End Fund Report: Stocks and Equity Investments.” Use this report to compare privately held FLPs that hold common stock, preferred stock, mutual funds, REITs, or other corporate equity investments.
