what happened
Saba Capital Management, L.P. notified SDCL Efficiency Income Trust PLC that it had crossed a voting-rights threshold. The threshold was crossed on 13 October 2026, and the issuer received the notice on 15 October.
Direct holdings in ordinary shares stand at 8.61%, or 93,494,212 voting rights. A further 20.48% comes from a total return swap covering 222,255,471 voting rights, cash-settled, expiring on 15 December 2026. The combined position is 29.09% of 315,749,683 total voting rights, up from 28.04% in the previous notification.
why it matters
A stake above 29% in a listed closed-end trust typically gives the holder more leverage over governance and raises the chance of shareholder action. For investors, the filing signals voting concentration in one fund rather than a new transaction in the trust's assets. The swap's December 2026 expiry will show whether the position is maintained.
