InvestingPro Insights

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. This aligns with one of the InvestingPro Tips, which notes that BIGZ "pays a significant dividend to shareholders."

The trust's market capitalization stands at $1.66 billion, with a price-to-earnings ratio of 7.87, suggesting a potentially attractive valuation. However, investors should be aware that another InvestingPro Tip indicates BIGZ "suffers from weak gross profit margins," which could impact its long-term performance.
