Saba Opportunistically Hedged Closed-End Funds ETF Announces Changes to Distribution Rate and Frequency
The Saba Opportunistically Hedged Closed-End Funds ETF (CEFS) has announced changes to its distribution policy, effective September 25, 2026. The fund will shift from monthly distributions to quarterly ones while increasing the annualized rate of distributions to shareholders by targeting a 12% return on net asset value (NAV). This change is intended to provide greater flexibility in portfolio management and align with opportunities across the closed-end fund market. The first distribution under this new policy, amounting to $0.246 per share, will be paid out on September 30, 2026, to shareholders of record as of September 28. The ex-distribution date is also set for September 28. Paul Kazarian from Saba Capital Management stated that the change reflects confidence in market opportunities and a commitment to delivering value. The fund acknowledges that distributions may exceed income or gains, potentially resulting in returns of capital (ROC). Shareholders are advised not to assume all distributions come from net investment income but should review disclosures provided by the Fund. Final tax characteristics will be available on Form 1099-DIV after year-end.
