How Saba's Boaz Weinstein Plans to Transform UK Investment Trusts

How Saba's Boaz Weinstein Plans to Transform UK Investment Trusts

“We’re not here to make trouble.” So says Boaz Weinstein, founder and chief investment officer of activist investor Saba Capital Management, who joins this episode of the Merryn Talks Money podcast, hosted by senior reporter John Stepek.

His claim may come as news to boards of many UK investment trusts. Saba has taken large stakes in seven of them and called extraordinary general meetings. Those gatherings could result in existing boards being swept away and replaced by Saba's favored candidates when voting happens over the next few weeks.

Why the UK? Why investment trusts? And why now? Listen to hear Weinstein's answers.
