Insights
Saba Capital discloses a 16.75% shared stake in PIMCO Dynamic Income Strategy Fund, with a passive-style 13G certification.
The disclosure shows Saba Capital Management, L.P., its general partner Saba Capital Management GP, LLC, and Boaz R. Weinstein jointly reporting beneficial ownership of 7,489,207 common shares of PIMCO Dynamic Income Strategy Fund. This equals 16.75% of the fund’s common shares, calculated using 44,706,949 shares outstanding as of June 30, 2025. All of these shares are reported with shared voting and shared dispositive power, which indicates coordinated control over how this block can be voted or sold.
The filing states that the funds and accounts advised by Saba Capital are entitled to the dividends and sale proceeds from these shares, so the economic exposure resides with underlying clients rather than Saba itself. The certification language follows the Schedule 13G framework, stating that the position was not acquired and is not held to change or influence control of the fund, other than activities solely in connection with a nomination under Rule 240.14a-11. Overall, this is a significant ownership disclosure but framed as non‑control seeking, and its practical impact will depend on how this sizable stake is exercised in future shareholder matters.
