ASA Gold & Precious Metals Ltd (ASA) plans a major strategic shift after its board approved a proposal to convert the company from a gold- and precious-metals-focused closed-end fund into a business development company (BDC) with a yield-oriented, credit-focused strategy. The plan also includes redomiciling from Bermuda to Delaware, changing U.S. tax status from a passive foreign investment company (PFIC) to a regulated investment company (RIC), and appointing Saba Capital Management, L.P. as investment manager.
The BDC conversion and related changes will only proceed if shareholders approve a new advisory agreement with Saba and the elimination of ASA’s fundamental gold-focused and other fundamental investment policies at the 2026 Annual General Meeting. If approved and conditions are met, the conversion is expected to occur by year-end, with detailed terms and risks to be provided in a Form N-14 proxy statement/prospectus.
ASA Gold and Precious Metals Limited has appointed Paul Kazarian as President and Principal Executive Officer. Former officers Axel Merk and Peter Maletis no longer serve as officers of the company.
While a Special Committee evaluates potential external management arrangements, the company will be managed internally on an interim basis by a Board-level Investment Committee that oversees the investment portfolio. During this Interim Period, ASA has retained Saba Capital Management, L.P. to provide administrative, compliance and trade execution support, with Saba reimbursed only for out-of-pocket costs and not entitled to compensation. The disclosure includes customary forward-looking statement cautions.
ASA Gold and Precious Metals Limited plans to sell a portion of its position in a privately held portfolio company through multiple transactions at different prices. The company currently values this investment using the most recent observable transaction price.
Based on anticipated pricing, management estimates that completing these sales may lead to an approximate 2–3% increase in net asset value
