Saba Capital Management, L.P. Saba Capital Management, L.P. (Saba) is a New York-based global alternative asset management firm founded in 2009 by Boaz Weinstein. The firm specializes in credit relative value strategies, tail hedging, closed-end funds, and SPACs, employing a rigorous investment process that integrates quantitative models, fundamental analysis, and technical research to capitalize on market dislocations and generate superior risk-adjusted returns. Headquartered at 405 Lexington Avenue in New York City, Saba manages a diverse portfolio valued at approximately $3.7 billion as of recent SEC filings, with top holdings including BlackRock ESG Capital Allocation Term Trust and PIMCO Dynamic Income Strategy Fund. Saba's team, many of whom have collaborated for over a decade, traces its roots to Weinstein's credit trading group at Deutsche Bank, which spun out with proprietary intellectual property to launch the flagship Capital Master Fund in 2009. Career highlights include profiting from the 2012 JPMorgan "London Whale" loss, capital structure arbitrages in Linn Energy and Chesapeake Energy in 2016, and strong performance during the 2020 market crash—yielding 33% for its flagship fund and 99% for its tail fund—earning it Hedge Fund of the Year from *Risk* magazine in 2021. The firm has actively engaged as a corporate insider, recently trading at 10% ownership in New Germany Fund Inc. (GF) and pursuing activist initiatives with U.K. investment trusts and U.S. closed-end funds to enhance shareholder value through liquidity and governance reforms. Boaz Weinstein serves as portfolio manager and key leader, overseeing Saba's operations as a registered investment advisor with around 35 employees. The firm continues to focus on innovative solutions for investors seeking alpha in volatile markets.
