Goldstein/Dakos maintain double-digit CMU stakes, signaling ongoing activist-level involvement.
Bulldog Investors, Phillip Goldstein and Andrew Dakos report sizeable positions in CMU, each above 11% of outstanding shares. These levels typically reflect an ability to influence governance, voting outcomes and strategic direction at a closed-end fund.
The filing details sole versus shared voting and dispositive power, with Bulldog controlling 120,488 shares directly and sharing authority on 2,951,732 shares. Recent trades around $3.51–$3.65 show active position management rather than a static holding.
