Analysis · BPRE · Unknown
Activist hedge fund Saba Capital has escalated its campaign against Bluerock Private Real Estate Fund, launching a dedicated website and announcing plans to file a definitive proxy statement for the 2027 annual meeting. Saba, which owns 7,322,660 shares, is attacking the board for what it calls entrenched governance and a listing that has left shareholders trading at roughly 47% below net asset value. The campaign website details how shareholders lost the right to sell at NAV, alleges the board pushed through governance changes that make shareholder action harder, and highlights that Bluerock has collected $463.8M in fees while a $100,000 investment from March 2021 is down $31,334. This is a full proxy fight in the making, and the stock is already trading near its 52-week low.
