This page tracks quarterly shares, estimated market value, portfolio weight, filing dates, and disclosure-aligned stock prices directly from SEC EDGAR 13F filings. Older history is available after unlock; the visible window still shows the most recent pattern.
This page is designed to answer the real investor question behind a 13F filing: how meaningful was ZAZOVE ASSOCIATES LLC's position in GDL Fund COM SH BEN IT, and how did that conviction change over time? You can read the holding window, peak weight, latest reported size, disclosure timing, and quarter-by-quarter changes without piecing the story together from raw SEC rows.
GDL was reported at 0.09% of portfolio in the most recent visible filing.
Peak weight helps separate a token disclosure from a real conviction holding the fund genuinely cared about.
Longer holding windows often tell a very different story from short-lived tactical trades or one-quarter experiments.
Knowing that a fund owned a stock is useful. Knowing whether it was a 0.20% placeholder or a true high-conviction position is where the signal actually starts.
