Long Term Debt [Table Text Block]				Note 6 – Notes Payable The Fund has entered into an Amended and Restated Liquidity Agreement (the “SSB Agreement”) with State Street Bank and Trust Company (“SSB”) that allows the Fund to borrow up to a limit of $430.0 million, as well as engage in securities lending and securities repurchase transactions. Securities are loaned through Securities Loan Agreements. In Securities Loan Agreements, the “collateral” are the loaned securities themselves. Addtionally, the set-off and netting provisions of a Securities Loan Agreement may not extend to the obligations of the counterparty’s affiliates or across varying types of transactions. Borrowings under the SSB Agreement are secured by assets of the Fund that are held with the Fund’s custodian in a separate account (the “pledged collateral”). Interest on the SSB Agreement is charged on the drawn amount at the rate of OBFR plus .80%. A commitment fee of .10% is payable on any undrawn balance. For the period ended April 30, 2023, the average borrowings under the Agreement were $333.0 million. For the period ended April 30, 2023, the average interest rate was 4.91%. As of April 30, 2023, the amount of total outstanding borrowings was $314.4 million, which approximates fair value. The interest rate applicable to the borrowings on April 30, 2023 was 5.29%. Under the terms of the SSB Agreement, all securities lent through SSB must be secured continuously by collateral received in cash. Cash collateral held by SSB on behalf of a Fund may be credited against the amounts borrowed under the SSB Agreement. Under the terms of the SSB Agreement, SSB will return the value of the collateral to the borrower at the termination of the selected securities loan(s). When collateral is returned, SSB may offset the shortfall to the amount lent to the Fund under the SSB Agreement by either lending other securities of the Fund or replacing such amount through direct loans from SSB, without notice to or consent from the Fund and does not change the amount borrowed by the Fund. The cash collateral credits against the amounts borrowed are not reflected separately in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities but as a component of the Notes Payable. Under the terms of the SSB Agreement, the Fund will receive a rebate payment related to the securities lending and/or securities repurchase transactions which is reflected in interest expense in the Statement of Operations. The Fund has the right to call a loan and obtain the securities loaned at any time. As of April 30, 2023, approximately $61.9 million of securities were on loan ($61.6 million of fixed income securities and $0.3 million of equity securities) under the SSB Agreement which are reflected in the Investment in securities, at value on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The borrowings are categorized as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.

Capital Stock [Table Text Block]				Note 7 – Mandatory Redeemable Preferred Shares The Fund has MRPS issued with an aggregate liquidation preference of $133,000,000 , divided into four series with different mandatory redemption dates and dividend rates. The table below summarizes the key terms of each series of the MRPS at April 30, 2023. Series* Issue Term Dividend Shares Liquidation Preference Aggregate Liquidation Preference Series B 9/6/17 9/6/24 4.00% 1,330 $25 $ 33,250,000 Series C 9/6/17 9/6/27 4.24% 1,340 $25 $ 33,500,000 Series D 8/24/21 8/24/26 2.45% 1,320 $25 $ 33,000,000 Series E 3/8/22 5/24/27 2.68 % 1,330 $25 $ 33,250,000 Total $133,000,000 On September 6, 2022, $33,250,000 of Series A MRPS were redeemed at $25.01 per share. Offering costs incurred by the Fund in connection with the MRPS issuance are aggregated with the outstanding liability and are being amortized to Interest expense and amortization of offering costs on MRPS over the respective life of each series of MRPS and shown in the Statement of Operations. The MRPS are not listed on any exchange or automated quotation system. The MRPS are considered debt of the issuer; therefore, the liquidation preference, which approximates fair value of the MRPS, is recorded as a liability in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities net of deferred offering costs. The MRPS are categorized as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy. During the period ended April 30, 2023, all MRPS were rated `AA-’ by Kroll Bond Rating Agency LLC (“KBRA”). If the ratings of the MRPS are downgraded, the Fund’s dividend expense may increase, as described below. Holders of MRPS are entitled to receive monthly cumulative cash dividends payable on the first business day of each month. The MRPS currently are rated “AA-” by KBRA . If on the first day of a monthly dividend period the MRPS of any class are rated lower than “A” by KBRA , the dividend rate for such period shall be increased by 0.5%, 2.0% or 4.0% according to an agreed upon schedule. The MRPS’ dividend rate is also subject to increase during periods when the Fund has not made timely payments to MRPS holders and/or the MRPS do not have a current credit rating, subject to various terms and conditions. Dividends accrued and paid to the shareholders of MRPS are included in “Interest expense and amortization of offering costs on Mandatory Redeemable Preferred Shares” within the Statement of Operations. With regard to the Series B and C MRPS, so long as any MRPS are outstanding, the Fund will not declare, pay or set apart for payment any dividend or other distribution (other than non-cash distributions) with respect to Fund shares ranking junior to or on parity with the MRPS, unless (1) the Fund has satisfied the MRPS Overcollateralization Test (as defined below) on at least one “valuation date” in the preceding 65 calendar days, (2) immediately after such transaction the Fund would satisfy the MRPS Asset Coverage Test (as defined below), (3) full cumulative dividends on the MRPS due on or prior to the date of the transaction have been declared and paid to the holders of MRPS and (4) the Fund has redeemed the full number of MRPS required to be redeemed by any provision for mandatory redemption or deposited sufficient monies with the Fund’s paying agent for that purpose, subject to certain grace periods and exceptions. MRPS Asset Coverage Test : Asset coverage with respect to all outstanding senior securi ties and preferred shares, including the MRPS, determined in accordance with Section 18(h) of the 1940 Act, on the basis of values calculated as of a time within 48 hours (not including Sundays or holidays) next preceding the time of determination, must be greater than or equal to 225%.
