Saba Capital Income & Opportunities Fund aims to generate income and total returns by investing through various credit-based hedge fund strategies. BRW's manager also runs activist campaigns to reduce discounts to net asset values of other CEFs. This helps to achieve better returns on closed-end funds but also suggests exemplary ethics in terms of stewardship.
We take a look at the trio of Saba's public investment funds. CEFS is a pure-play fund of CEFs, while the CEFs BRW and SABA have allocations to a diverse array of securities, including reinsurance, loans, stocks, SPACs, crypto, etc. SABA will likely transition over time to be similar to BRW - it remains our favored option between the two funds.
Saba Capital Income & Opportunities Fund offers a high current income with a 14.51% yield, outperforming peers. The BRW closed-end fund's poor recent performance appears to have been caused by exposure to catastrophe bonds, leading to a net asset value decrease. The Fund failed to cover distributions in recent periods, indicating a potential need for distribution reduction to avoid running out of money.
