SCHEDULE 13G/A

Karpus Management, Inc. reported beneficial ownership of 3,057,936 shares of DWS Municipal Income Trust common stock, representing 7.81% of the class. The filing states Karpus has sole voting and dispositive power over these shares and that the shares are held in accounts it manages. Karpus identifies itself as a New York-registered investment adviser controlled by City of London Investment Group plc but says effective informational barriers mean CLIG does not exercise voting or investment power over these shares. The filing is made on a Schedule 13G (Amendment No. 1), indicating a passive investor position rather than an attempt to influence control.

Insights

TL;DR Karpus holds a material 7.81% passive stake with sole voting and dispositive control, a noteworthy ownership position for investors to monitor.

Karpus' disclosed 7.81% holding is material relative to typical mutual fund/trust free floats and could affect liquidity or be relevant in proxy matters even if held passively. The filing under Rule 13d-1(b)/(c) (Schedule 13G) and the certification that the position is held in the ordinary course of business indicate no intent to change control. Sole voting and dispositive power reported for the full stake means Karpus can act unilaterally with respect to votes and dispositions, which is important for understanding potential block trades or proxy voting outcomes.

TL;DR A >5% disclosure with sole voting power is governance-relevant, though the 13G status signals passive intent.

The filing appropriately discloses the reporter's control rights and the informational barrier with its parent company. From a governance perspective, a holder with sole voting power over 7.81% can influence shareholder votes if it chooses, even absent an expressed activist agenda. The explicit certification that holdings are not for control purposes and the Schedule 13G classification reduce immediate governance concerns, but the size of the stake makes future voting positions a point of interest for other shareholders and the board.
