The purchase comes amidst Saba's ongoing activist campaign to overhaul UK investment trusts, targeting funds for higher returns.

Saba Capital Management, L.P., now holds 1,933,583 shares indirectly in the $183.9M market cap fund, reflecting their continued investment in New Germany Fund [3]. The stock has shown remarkable momentum, gaining over 42% in the past six months and trading near its 52-week high of $11.40 [3].
The acquisition highlights Saba's commitment to GF, which continues to be a significant holding for the hedge fund. As Saba's activist campaign progresses, investors should keep an eye on the developments and potential impacts on the targeted funds' performance and shareholder value.
