BRW-SABA merger back on track for 2026 close, expanding scale and liquidity

Why it may matterVerify against the original reporting
A successful merger could lift BRW’s trading liquidity and reduce discount to NAV, common outcomes in fund consolidations. The absence of deal obstacles or major changes to terms could validate near-term upside; risk remains if approvals stall or if post-merger NAV dynamics deteriorate.
