Mr. Weinstein is one of the most well-known hedge fund managers in the past decade and was<span class=\"paywall-full-content invisible\"> the youngest ever managing director at Deutsche Bank prior to starting Saba Capital. Saba Capital was named <\/span>Risk.net&#8217;s<span class=\"paywall-full-content invisible\"> hedge fund of the year in 2021 for successfully navigating the COVID crisis and its aftermath.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible\">I admire Mr. Weinstein and Saba Capital not only for their astute investment acumen, but also for their outspoken criticism of underperforming closed-end funds, of which I have reviewed many since taking up the pen last year.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible\">While fund management groups like Franklin Templeton seem content to collect fat fees on grossly underperforming funds like the Templeton Global Income Fund (GIM), with a -1.2% average annual return over<span class=\"paywall-full-content no-summary-bullets invisible\"> 10 years, Mr. Weinstein and Saba Capital are actually investing their own capital into underperforming funds and <\/span>agitating<span class=\"paywall-full-content no-summary-bullets invisible\"> for change within the closed-end fund industry.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">The CEFS ETF allows investors to leverage Saba&#8217;s deep expertise in picking and hedging closed-end funds. CEFS&#8217; investment results speak for themselves, as the fund has significantly outperformed passive closed-end fund-of-fund ETFs over a 1\/3\/5 year timeframe. It has also matched a balanced fund&#8217;s total returns with significantly higher income. I rate the CEFS ETF a <strong>buy<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">Fund Overview<\/h2>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">The Saba Closed-End Funds ETF is an actively managed ETF that aims to generate high current income from investing in closed-end funds trading at a discount to their net asset values (&#8220;NAV&#8221;), with interest rate hedges to protect the fund from rising interest rates.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">The CEFS ETF allows retail investors to invest alongside Saba Capital&#8217;s fund managers who have years of experience trading and hedging closed-end funds.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">CEFS&#8217; investment process includes proprietary screens that analyze closed-end funds across a variety of factors including yield, discount to NAV, and quality of underlying securities. The CEFS ETF will also actively trade the portfolio holdings in order to capture widening and narrowing discounts to NAV.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">The CEFS ETF has $123 million in assets and charges a 1.1% management fee. Including acquired fees from the underlying closed-end funds, the CEFS ETF has a total expense ratio of 2.42% (Figure 1).<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">\n<figure class=\"regular-img-figure paywall-full-content invisible\" contenteditable=\"false\"><picture><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/prosfunds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/54854261-16993154559567895.png\" alt=\"CEFS overview\" contenteditable=\"false\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/picture><figcaption>\n<p class=\"item-caption\">Figure 1 &#8211; CEFS overview (sabaetf.com)<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">Portfolio Holdings<\/h2>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">CEFS&#8217; portfolio contains 98 closed-end fund holdings with an average discount to NAV of 13.9%. In terms of asset class allocation, 55% of the underlying funds are considered equity funds, while 45% are fixed income funds (Figure 2).<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">\n<figure class=\"regular-img-figure paywall-full-content invisible\" contenteditable=\"false\"><picture><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/prosfunds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/54854261-16993155589034178.png\" alt=\"CEFS asset class allocation\" contenteditable=\"false\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/picture><figcaption>\n<p class=\"item-caption\">Figure 2 &#8211; CEFS asset class allocation (sabaetfs.com)<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">Figure 3 shows the top 10 holdings of the CEFS ETF, which account for 67.8% of the portfolio.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">\n<figure class=\"regular-img-figure paywall-full-content invisible\" contenteditable=\"false\"><span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/prosfunds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/54854261-16993156279414418.png\" alt=\"CEFS top 10 holdings\" contenteditable=\"false\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/span><figcaption>\n<p class=\"item-caption\">Figure 3 &#8211; CEFS top 10 holdings (sabaetfs.com)<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">Investors should note that some of these positions involve funds like the BlackRock funds in which Saba Capital is involved in activist battles, while others, like the Adams Diversified Equity Fund (ADX), do not appear to have any active proxy litigation to date.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">Distribution &amp; Yield<\/h2>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">One of the main features of closed end funds is their high distribution yields. That is the main reason why many retirees swear by them to fund their retirement lifestyles.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">Unfortunately, too often, we come across closed-end funds like the Templeton Global Income Fund that promises investors a 9.0% distribution yield, but has actually earned an average annual return of -1.2% over 10 years (Figure 4).<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">\n<figure class=\"regular-img-figure paywall-full-content invisible\" contenteditable=\"false\"><span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/prosfunds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/54854261-16993161412988997.png\" alt=\"GIM historical returns\" contenteditable=\"false\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/span><figcaption>\n<p class=\"item-caption\">Figure 4 &#8211; GIM historical returns (morningstar.com)<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">In effect, investors are just paid back their own capital in the form of the distribution. Over time, investors in these amortizing &#8216;return of principal&#8217; funds lose out on both principal (from NAV liquidated to pay the distribution) and income (distributions shrink as NAV declines).<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">For example, over the past decade, GIM&#8217;s NAV and share price have declined by 51.2% and 51.7% respectively (Figure 5)<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">\n<figure class=\"regular-img-figure paywall-full-content invisible\" contenteditable=\"false\"><span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/prosfunds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/54854261-16993162983264678.png\" alt=\"GIM's NAV has shrunk by 50% over a decade\" contenteditable=\"false\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/span><figcaption>\n<p class=\"item-caption\">Figure 5 &#8211;

portfolios.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">Since inception, the CEFS ETF has delivered comparable returns to the Vanguard Balanced Index Fund (VBIAX) (Figure 9) while generating significantly higher portfolio income (Figure 10).<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">\n<figure class=\"regular-img-figure paywall-full-content invisible\" contenteditable=\"false\"><span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/prosfunds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/54854261-16993171406627388.png\" alt=\"CEFS has delivered total returns similar to VBIAX\" contenteditable=\"false\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/span><figcaption>\n<p class=\"item-caption\">Figure 9 &#8211;

With significantly higher income (Author created using Portfolio Visualizer)<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">However, one drawback of CEFS is it is more volatile, with a portfolio volatility of 15.2% compared to 11.4% for VBIAX.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">Comparing CEFS To Peers<\/h2>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">In the past, I have written about the Invesco CEF Income Composite ETF (PCEF) and the Amplify High Income ETF (YYY), both of which use a passive fund-of-funds approach to invest in closed-end funds. How does CEFS compare against these two peers?<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">First, in terms fee structure, CEFS is definitely not the cheapest, with a total expense ratio of 2.42% compared to 1.99% for PCEF (Figure 11).<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">\n<figure class=\"regular-img-figure paywall-full-content invisible\" contenteditable=\"false\"><span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/prosfunds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/54854261-16993174022576628.png\" alt=\"CEFS vs. peers, fee structure\" contenteditable=\"false\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/span><figcaption>\n<p class=\"item-caption\">Figure 11 &#8211; CEFS vs. peers, fee structure (Seeking Alpha)<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">However, CEFS makes up for higher expenses with significantly higher total returns, with CEFS returning 12.3% on a 1 year horizon vs. 2.5% for PCEF and 7.3% for YYY (Figure 12).<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">\n<figure class=\"regular-img-figure paywall-full-content invisible\" contenteditable=\"false\"><span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/prosfunds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/54854261-16993174803414893.png\" alt=\"CEFS vs. peers, 1 year total returns\" contenteditable=\"false\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/span><figcaption>\n<p class=\"item-caption\">Figure 12 &#8211; CEFS vs. peers, 1 year total returns (Seeking Alpha)<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">On a 3 year horizon, CEFS&#8217; outperformance is even more extreme, with a 27.0% total return compared to 4.9% for PCEF and 3.1% for YYY (Figure ).<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">\n<figure class=\"regular-img-figure paywall-full-content invisible\" contenteditable=\"false\"><span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/prosfunds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/54854261-16993175424894388.png\" alt=\"CEFS vs. peers, 3 year total returns\" contenteditable=\"false\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/span><figcaption>\n<p class=\"item-caption\">Figure 13 &#8211; CEFS vs. peers, 3 year total returns (Seeking Alpha)<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">Ditto for 5 years (Figure 14).<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">\n<figure class=\"regular-img-figure paywall-full-content invisible\" contenteditable=\"false\"><span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/prosfunds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/54854261-16993175987560983.png\" alt=\"CEFS vs. peers, 5 year total returns\" contenteditable=\"false\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/span><figcaption>\n<p class=\"item-caption\">Figure 14 &#8211; CEFS vs. peers, 5 year total returns (Seeking Alpha)<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">Saba&#8217;s managers have definitely displayed significant alpha in picking the right CEFs and hedging their interest rate risks with derivatives.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">Conclusion<\/h2>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">The Saba Closed-End Funds ETF allow investors to invest right alongside Saba Capital&#8217;s award winning portfolio managers.
