Analysis · TCPC · Unknown
Saba Capital Management, the activist fund run by Boaz Weinstein, has built a 5.11% position in TCPC — 4.28 million shares acquired for roughly $17.1 million between mid-August and mid-October 2026. The 13D explicitly states Saba may push for board appointments, governance changes, share buy-backs, tenders, liquidations, and even a change in investment manager. This lands against a backdrop of major turmoil at TCPC: a $523M loan portfolio sale at a steep discount, a strategic review, CEO and COO departures, and multiple shareholder lawsuits. An activist entering now raises the odds of a proxy fight or forced strategic action.
