The US Supreme Court voted 6-3 to shield closed-end funds from some investor lawsuits, blocking activist investors from suing 11 funds. The ruling is a setback for shareholder activism and could make it harder to pursue similar legal challenges going forward. Market impact is likely limited to the affected funds and the broader closed-end fund/activism ecosystem.
