Saba takeover target Baillie Gifford US Growth #USA jumped 12.5% last month and its big sister Scottish Mortgage #SMT exceeded its 2021 peak. My review of the big investment trust risers and fallers in September.

Shareholders need to act quickly to express their views on Saba Capital appointing its nominated directors to the board of Baillie Gifford US Growth and potentially taking over management of the trust.
The first platform voting deadline is 14 October with the deadlines at the biggest platforms closing from 19 October.

Re the @IEMplc announcement @rwstone1 said: “It’s concerning that the Saba nominated directors have not provided any biographical details, or any information on their plans for Impax Environmental Markets should they be appointed. Shareholders deserve clear information on directors’ skills and their proposals to help them make an important decision about the future of their investment trust."
The board of Impax Environmental Markets has confirmed that its AGM and Saba Capital’s requisitioned general meeting will take place on 17 June.
Shareholders who don’t want Impax’s existing board replaced with Saba’s nominated directors need to vote now. Read more: theaic.co.uk/aic/news/press-…

Artificial intelligence (AI) and all things digital helped put this fund at the top of the “Europe” sector over the last decade, five years and one-year periods. Total returns were 232%, 104% and 23%, respectively. An enviable hat-trick! ii.co.uk/analysis-commentary…

Nobody expected this £7.9 billion investment trust to double in the next year last May - and quite a few predicted an imminent correction - but the share price has soared 107% higher since then. Bears sound clever; bulls make money! ii.co.uk/analysis-commentary…
