Here are the DEF 14A proxy statements from Liberty All-Star Equity Fund (USA) in our archive over the last 12 months, newest first, and each one links through to the document itself with the summary and the scores our analysis gives it.
A DEF 14A covers the proxy statement, with executive pay and the shareholder votes, so if you follow USA and want that one kind of document rather than the whole filing history, this is the page to keep. The company's other filings, of every form, are on the full USA filings page.
Liberty All-Star Equity Fund and Liberty All-Star Growth Fund are calling a joint shareholder meeting on August 26, 2026 to vote on several governance items. Equity Fund shareholders are asked to approve a new Portfolio Management Agreement with Loomis Sayles for the large cap growth sleeve, replacing Sustainable Growth Advisers at the same sub-advisory fee rate, which is paid by ALPS Advisors, Inc., not the Fund. Shareholders of both funds will also elect two Trustees or Directors to three-year terms. The Equity Fund estimates additional proxy solicitation costs of $315,000 tied to Securities and Exchange Commission requirements for closed-end fund sub-adviser changes.
