Historically, medium-priority insider buys have outperformed the S&P 500 by a median ~1% over the 30 days after filing — the edge is concentrated in that first month (n ≈ 7,520, 2022-2026). Past results don't predict the future. How we measure this ↗

Significance 5/10

Saba Capital adds 7,260 shares of IIF at $25.57; holdings now 1,016,952 shares (+0.7%)

Saba Capital Management, a 10% owner, purchased 7,260 shares at $25.57 on 2025-05-08, increasing total holdings from 1,009,692 to 1,016,952 shares. The purchase occurred near the lower end of the 52-week range ($22.65–$30.29), with the current price at $26.42 representing a modest 3.3% premium to the transaction price. The trade reflects a continuation of the insider's pattern of more buys than sells across its open-market history, with 13 prior buys versus 7 prior sells. However, the incremental holding increase of 0.7% is relatively modest, suggesting this is a small-scale addition rather than a significant concentration move by an already-substantial shareholder.

Significance 3/10

Saba Capital (10% Owner) buys 300 shares of Morgan Stanley India Investment Fund at $25.80; smallest purchase in 5 days adds 0.0% to 1.01M-share position

Saba Capital Management purchased 300 shares for $7,740 on April 28, 2025, bringing its holdings to 1,009,692 shares—an incremental 0.0% increase on a position already exceeding 1 million shares. This purchase follows another buy at the same fund just five days prior (April 23), yet the transaction size remains minimal relative to the 1.01M-share base and the $7.7K total value. The fund is currently trading at $26.08, near the midpoint of its 52-week range ($22.65–$30.29), and has appreciated 6.8% over 30 days and 8.7% over 90 days. With 20 prior open-market buys across all tickers in the insider's track record and no demonstrated pattern of well-timed timing outcomes, this incremental purchase does not establish a significant conviction signal; it appears consistent with routine rebalancing activity in a liquid fund position.

Significance 5/10

Saba Capital buys 19,125 IIF shares at $26.02; holdings rise to 1.01M (+1.9%) on heels of 2025-04-21 purchase.

Saba Capital Management purchased 19,125 shares of Morgan Stanley India Investment Fund on 2025-04-23 at $26.02, expanding its stake to 1,009,392 shares. This purchase occurs just two days after a prior buy at the same ticker on 2025-04-21, suggesting sequential accumulation activity in a concentrated timeframe. The current share price of $26.06 is slightly above the transaction price, but sits 14.0% below the 52-week high of $30.29. As a 10% owner executing open-market purchases, the pattern of consecutive buys warrants observation, though the measurement windows for assessing outcome timing on the more recent transaction are not yet available.

Significance 4/10

Saba Capital (10% owner) bought 19,218 shares of IIF at $25.31; post-transaction holdings 990,267 shares (+2.0%)

Saba Capital Management purchased 19,218 shares of Morgan Stanley India Investment Fund on 2025-04-21 at $25.31, bringing total holdings to 990,267 shares, a 2.0% increase from the prior level of 971,049 shares. This purchase follows another buy at this same ticker just four days prior on 2025-04-17, indicating recent sequential accumulation activity in the fund. The stock currently trades at $25.87, only 2.2% above the transaction price, and remains 14.6% below its 52-week high of $30.29, placing the purchase in the lower-to-middle portion of the fund's recent trading range. Without measurable 90-day outcomes yet available for either of Saba's two recent IIF purchases, the patterns within this specific holding cannot yet be assessed for predictive value.

Significance 2/10
