The Fund Administrator that makes investment decisions for the trust is usually supervised by a meeting.
An initial letter from SABA criticized the existing boards of these seven trusts for “not holding investment administrators” for their “inability to deliver enough returns from the shareholders” and demanded votes from the shareholders to replace the members of the Board and install two new faces in each of the seven. Weinstein himself said there had been a “surprisingly poor performance in certain trusts” for a period of time.

“We appreciate the reflexive commitment of the classmates [Herald] Shareholders in recent weeks, which only reinforces the serious industry of the United Kingdom's investment trust and the need for the presence of Saba in the market […] Saba is still committed to putting the interests of the shareholders first, delivering yields for the trusted investors of the United Kingdom and, ultimately, rehabilitating this broken sector, “said a spokesman.
“We urge the shareholders of the other six trusts in which we have requested general meetings to support SABA resolutions to establish these trusts on the road to the creation of significant value.”
