Liberty All-Star® Growth Fund, Inc. July 2023 Monthly Update

The Liberty All-Star Growth fund adopts a "fund of funds" approach, employing three distinct managers. The fund is principally invested in equity positions, and its composition varies depending on the current market environment. Given current market risk factors I keep highlighting as it relates to a potential credit event and the fund's valuation metrics, it's challenging to envision a scenario where ASG thrives.

Closed-end funds, or CEFs, are generally characterized by higher volatility and deeper drawdowns than the broader market. For these reasons, they are not suited for everyone.
