What Happened?

On August 20, 2026, The Bear Cave published a report alleging, among other things, that Guggenheim’s Strategic Opportunities Fund’s monthly distribution of $0.18/share, over 20% annualized on Net Asset Value, is funded in large part by selling new shares at a premium to NAV rather than by portfolio earnings alone. However, the Company's premium to NAV has now compressed to a discount, in part because of a federal investigation into Guggenheim’s CEO, Mark Walters. The report notes “[t]he FBI has seized his devices” and has “been investigating Walter’s asset management arm and two insurers he owns,” including a recent“grand jury subpoena [of] those insurers over whether billions of dollars of their holdings had gone to Walter’s other companies.”

On this news, GOF's stock fell $0.67, or 6.64%, to close at $9.42 on August 20, 2026, thereby injuring investors.
