According to the document, the shares were sold in multiple tranches with prices ranging narrowly around the $8.95 mark. Following these transactions, Saba Capital Management still maintains a substantial footprint in Ellsworth Growth, retaining ownership of approximately 1,691,718 shares. The firm continues to be classified as a ten percent owner, a designation that requires rigorous reporting of all buy and sell activities to ensure market integrity. Market analysts often monitor the movement of Saba Capital’s portfolio due to Boaz Weinstein’s reputation for aggressive activism and value-oriented strategies within the closed-end fund sector. While the specific motivation for this $407,359 sale was not explicitly stated in the filing, such moves are frequently interpreted as either portfolio rebalancing or a tactical shift in capital allocation for the New York-based hedge fund. The Ellsworth Growth and Income Fund, managed by Gabelli Funds, remains a key player in the income-generating investment space, though its stock price and liquidity are subject to the broader pressures of the financial markets and institutional sentiment.
