About this Product

  • The Fund is a registered closed-end management investment company listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker: SABA.
  • In pursuing its objectives, the Fund invests in debt and equity securities of public and private companies, which can include, among other things, investments in:
    • Closed end funds: The Fund invests in closed end funds that pursue a variety of strategies, including, but not limited to, closed end funds that invest in dividend and other income-producing securities (e.g., equity securities) and closed end funds that invest in debt and loans, including high yield or noninvestment grade securities (commonly referred to as “junk bonds”). The closed end funds have the flexibility to invest in a broad range of securities. The Fund may also invest in closed end funds that are, or the Investment Adviser (defined below) believes may become, the subject of an activist campaign by a shareholder, such as a proxy contest, whose aim is to eliminate or reduce the discount to the closed end fund’s net asset value.
    • Special purpose acquisition companies (“SPACs”): A SPAC is typically a publicly traded company that raises investment capital via an initial public offering for the purpose of acquiring one or more existing companies (or interests therein) via merger, combination, acquisition or other similar transactions.
    • Public and private debt instruments: The Fund may invest in a wide array of debt investments including: corporate bonds, private credit, senior loans, convertible securities, asset-backed securities, collateralized loan obligations, high-yield securities, mortgage related derivative instruments, other mortgage related securities, U.S. government debt securities, preferred securities, municipal securities, distressed and defaulted securities, credit default swaps, structured instruments, sovereign governmental and supranational debt, event-linked instruments/catastrophe bonds, and reinsurance notes. These investments may be issued by public or private issuers.
    • Reinsurance: The Fund may invest, directly or indirectly, in reinsurance contracts through shares or notes issued in connection with quota shares and/or may gain exposure to reinsurance contracts through excess of loss notes and/or industry loss warranties.
    • Public and Private Equity Securities: The Fund may invest in equity securities, including common stocks, warrants, real estate investment trusts, depositary receipts, and listed and unlisted private equity funds or other private funds.
    • Other Investment Companies: In addition to closed end funds, the Fund may invest in securities of other investment companies (including exchange-traded funds, business development companies, interval funds, real estate investment trusts ("REITs"), and money market funds, including other investment companies managed by the Investment Adviser or its affiliates), subject to applicable regulatory limits, that invest primarily securities of the types in which the Fund may invest directly.
    • Private Funds: The Fund may invest in private funds that pursue private credit, real estate, reinsurance, fixed income or equity strategies.
    • Derivatives: The Fund may also invest in derivatives, such as swaps, options or other instruments seeking indirect investment or exposures to any of the foregoing investments to enhance returns or for hedging or other purposes.

Inception Date - March 17, 1988

The performance quoted represents past performance and does not guarantee future results. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance information shown. The investment return and principal value of an investment in the Portfolio will fluctuate, so that your shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. See above "Performance" for performance information current to the most recent month-end. 1, 3, 5, 10 year and since Saba inception performance numbers are annualized.

The returns are presented net of fees, which includes the deduction of expenses (including brokerage commissions, administrative expenses, management fees and accrued performance allocations, if any) and the reinvestment of all dividends, interest, and capital gains, if any.

Total investment return at net asset value has been calculated assuming a purchase at net asset value at the beginning of the period and a sale at net asset value at the end of the period; and assumes reinvestment of dividends, capital gain distributions and return of capital distributions/allocations, if any, in accordance with the provisions of the dividend reinvestment plan. Net asset value equals total Fund assets net of Fund expenses such as operating costs and management fees. Total investment return at net asset value is not annualized for periods less than one year.

1Shares are bought and sold at market price not net asset value (NAV) and are not individually redeemed from the Fund. Market performance is determined using the bid/ask midpoint at 4:00 p.m. Eastern time when the NAV is typically calculated. Brokerage commissions will reduce returns.

2The Current Distribution Amount represents the amount approved by the Board of the Fund as part of a managed distribution plan. As part of the managed distribution plan, the Fund will make monthly distributions to shareholders at a fixed amount of per share. Thus, the distribution amount shown excludes special dividends (which are not paid pursuant to the plan), including the special dividend paid during the current fiscal period in January 2026. The Fund will generally distribute amounts necessary to satisfy the Fund’s plan and the requirements prescribed by excise tax rules and Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. The plan is intended to provide shareholders with a constant, but not guaranteed, fixed minimum rate of distribution each month and is intended to narrow the discount between the market price and the net asset value of the Fund’s common shares, but there is no assurance that the plan will be successful in doing so.

Yield figures quoted should not be used as an indication of the income that has or will be received. Yield figures are based on the portfolio's underlying holdings and do not represent a payout of the portfolio.

** Please note amounts shown above for dividends with a payable date prior to 6/21/2024 have been adjusted to reflect the 2 to 1 reverse stock split which occurred on 6/21/2024.

The Fund estimates that it has distributed more than its income and net realized capital gains; therefore, a portion of your distribution may be a return of capital, which will have the effect of reducing your cost basis in the Fund’s shares and thereby increasing the amount of capital gain, if any, or decreasing the amount of capital loss, if any, that you will realize when selling or exchanging Fund shares. A return of capital may occur, for example, when some or all of the money that you invested in the Fund is paid back to you. A return of capital does not necessarily reflect the Fund’s investment performance and should not be confused with ‘yield’ or ‘income’. When distributions exceed total return performance, the difference will reduce the Fund's net asset value per share. The final determination of the tax characteristics cannot be determined until after year end and reported to shareholders on Form 1099-DIV at that time.

To obtain an estimate of the components for each distribution please refer to the distribution press releases.  

The tax treatment and characterization of the Fund’s distributions may vary significantly from time to time, depending on whether the Fund has gains or losses on the call options written on its portfolio versus gains or losses on the equity securities in the portfolio. The Fund’s distributions will normally reflect past and projected net investment income, and may include income from dividends and interest, capital gains and/or a return of capital. The final composition of the tax characteristics of the distributions cannot be determined with certainty until after the end of the year, and will be reported to shareholders at that time. The amount of quarterly distributions will vary, depending on a number of factors. As portfolio and market conditions change, the rate of distributions on the common shares will change. There can be no assurance that the Fund will be able to declare a distribution in each period.

Dividend Reinvestment and Cash Purchase Plan

The Fund offers a Dividend Reinvestment and Cash Purchase Plan (the “Plan”) with the following features:

Shareholders must affirmatively elect to participate in the Plan. If you decide to use this service, dividends and capital gains distributions will be reinvested automatically in shares of the Fund for your account.

Whenever the Fund declares dividends in either cash or shares of the Fund, if the market price is equal to or exceeds net asset value at the valuation date, the participant will receive the dividends entirely in new shares at a price equal to the net asset value, but not less than 95% of the then current market price of the Fund's shares. If the market price is lower than net asset value or if dividends and/or capital gains distributions are payable only in cash, the participant will receive shares purchased on the New York Stock Exchange or otherwise on the open market.

A participant has the option of submitting additional cash payments to the Plan Administrator, in any amounts of at least $100, up to a maximum of $5,000 per month, for the purchase of Fund shares for his or her account. These payments can be made by check payable to Equiniti Trust Company, LLC (the “Plan Administrator”) and sent to Equiniti Trust Company, LLC, P.O. Box 10027, Newark, NJ 07101, Attention: Plan Administration. The Plan Administrator will apply such payments (less a $5.00 service charge and less a pro rata share of trading fees) to purchases of Fund shares on the open market.

The automatic reinvestment of dividends and/or capital gains does not relieve the participant of any income tax that may be payable on dividends or distributions.

Whenever shares are purchased on the New York Stock Exchange or otherwise on the open market, each participant will pay a pro rata portion of trading fees. Trading fees will be deducted from amounts to be invested. The Plan Administrator's fee for a sale of shares through the Plan is $15.00 per transaction plus a $0.12 per share trading fee.

A participant may withdraw from the Plan without penalty at any time by written notice to the Plan Administrator sent to Equiniti Trust Company, LLC, P.O. Box 10027, Newark, NJ 07101. Upon withdrawal, the participant will receive, without charge, share certificates issued in the participant's name for all full shares held by the Plan Administrator; or, if the participant wishes, the Plan Administrator will sell the shares and send the proceeds to the participant, less a service charge of $15.00 and less trading fees of $0.12 per share. The Plan Administrator will convert any fractional shares held at the time of withdrawal to cash at current market price and send a check to the participant for the net proceeds.
