Saba Capital's recent acquisition of BlackRock Innovation & Growth Term Trust (NYSE:BIGZ) shares comes at a time when the trust offers a compelling dividend yield. According to InvestingPro data, BIGZ currently boasts a dividend yield of 13.6% for 2024, with the last ex-dividend date on October 15, 2024.
