Products and Services

• Floating Rate Secured Senior Loans

  The fund dedicates a significant portion of its investments to floating rate secured senior loans. These loans often come from top-tier, non-investment grade issuers, offering an appealing balance of risk and potential return. By focusing on senior loans, the fund aims to provide investors with a degree of protection against default, given these loans' priority in an issuer’s capital structure. The floating interest rate feature helps in mitigating interest rate risk, making them attractive in various economic conditions.

• Diversified Sector Investments

  Saba Capital Income & Opportunities Fund lays a strong emphasis on diversification, not just in terms of the financial instruments it invests in, but also across different sectors. This approach is designed to spread risk and harness opportunities from various segments of the economy. By investing in securities of companies operating in diversified sectors, the fund aims to capture growth from various sources, thereby potentially enhancing its stability and performance.

• Loan Maturities of One to Ten Years

  The fund strategically invests in loans with maturities ranging from one to ten years. This mid-term investment horizon allows the fund to balance liquidity and yield. It caters to investors looking for moderate-term investments that offer potentially higher returns than short-term securities but with more predictable cash flows and lower volatility than investments with longer maturities.

• Benchmarking Against the S&P/LSTA Leveraged Loan Index

  To measure its performance accurately and maintain transparency with its investors, the Saba Capital Income & Opportunities Fund benchmarks its portfolio against the S&P/LSTA Leveraged Loan Index. This comparison is critical for investors to assess the fund’s effectiveness in achieving its investment objectives relative to the broader market performance of similar investment instruments. Benchmarking against such a reputable index helps in providing a clear picture of the fund’s market position and performance dynamics.
