Key numbers
| Metric | Latest | Change | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| Shares sold | 219,839 shares | SEC Form 4 | |
| Sale price range | $20.63 to $20.76 per share | SEC Form 4 | |
| Total sale value | about $4.54 million | SEC Form 4 | |
| Shares held after sale | 6,028,448 shares | SEC Form 4 |
Why it matters
With no case on file, the filing mainly establishes a baseline for Saba's ownership in PIMCO Dynamic Income Strategy Fund. The 219,839 shares were about 3.5% of the holding before the trade, based on 6,248,287 shares implied by the filing. That makes the sales look like a trim, not a full exit.
The filing also gives investors two dated prices to anchor the move. Saba sold 72,911 shares on 2026-10-09 at $20.76 and 146,928 shares on 2026-10-12 at $20.63. Those totals add to about $4.54 million and leave 6,028,448 shares, so the position remains large after the cut.
The strongest caveat is also in the filing: Saba still reported 6,028,448 shares after the sales, so the evidence points to reduction rather than abandonment. The report therefore gives investors a clean before-and-after read on the position. The filing also fixes the latest ownership level at 6,028,448 shares. That matters because the post-sale stake still tops six million shares.
The two sale prices were close, at $20.63 and $20.76. That keeps the focus on the size of the trade, not a big shift in pricing. Investors can use the reported stake as the next benchmark.

What's next
The next quarterly report will show whether Saba keeps reducing the stake or leaves the 6,028,448-share holding unchanged. More sales would deepen the reduction, while a flat holding would confirm the cut has paused.
