Saba Capital Management completed two open-market purchases totaling 50,351 shares for $2,022,416.34 ($2.0M) at an average price of $40.17 on September 9–10, increasing its stake from 4,260,544 shares to 4,310,895 shares (4.31M shares), a +1.2% increase. The current price of $40.71 stands at the 52-week high, with the stock up 15.5% over 30 days and 18.7% over 90 days. Saba's cross-ticker track record shows 10 prior buys and 10 prior sells; however, the same-ticker history at ASA reveals five consecutive buy transactions on September 3–11 with outcomes not yet measurable. The incremental purchase maintains the existing large block position during a period of significant upward momentum rather than accumulation at depressed levels.
