The article from Seeking Alpha discusses the DNP Select Income Fund (DNP), a closed-end fund that focuses on providing high income through investments in utility and other infrastructure stocks.

The fund has a history of maintaining its dividend, offering a yield around 8.5%, which is significantly higher than many other investment options. The article explains that while DNP's stock price can fluctuate, its high yield and the nature of its investments serve as a hedge against market volatility, providing a cushion for investors through regular income even when the broader market experiences declines.
