Shareholders of Edinburgh Worldwide Investment Trust voted against board resolutions proposed by Saba Capital on October 23, 2026, with 52.8% of votes cast opposing the nominees. Boaz Weinstein, who leads Saba, had built up a 29% stake in the trust. The trust welcomed the majority's view, noting that repeated attempts to influence the board placed an unnecessary burden on the company.
