ASG: Deepening Discount Brings Activists

The Liberty All-Star Growth Fund trades at a deep discount, with recent underperformance driven by both discount widening and relatively weak portfolio returns.

Activist investors, including Karpus, Saba, and Bulldog, have initiated or increased stakes in ASG, potentially setting the stage for 'reforms' to address the persistent discount.
