I also have to give thanks to George. His articles are very inciteful and well-written. I was not aware of a potential open ending vote until I read his SA article. After seeing Bulldog continue to add shares and high institutional ownership, I bought a large position in November and December of 2022 at an average discount of ~13%. As I've had many losers, It's nice to have a winner.

First Trust, the same sponsor of this fund did convert FVL a closed-end fund into an ETF back in 2007.
