Western Asset High Income Opportunity Fund Inc.
An investment fund that trades on the New York Stock Exchange like a stock, pooling money to buy high-yield corporate bonds and pay investors regular income. Launched in November 1993 as the "High Income Opportunity Fund," it was renamed in 2006 to carry the Western Asset name after that Pasadena, California bond manager, founded in 1971, came to oversee it. Its ticker HIO simply abbreviates its original name: High Income Opportunity.

Select a row to see that insider’s individual transactions. Sum of the holdings confirmed in the 12 months before this insider's last filing. A Form 4 reports a holding per line — held directly, or through a named trust, partnership or foundation, and in each share class separately — never a person’s total. Lines not restated in that time are left out and shown apart: an active filer restates what they still hold, so a line they did not restate is more often an entity since renamed, whose shares a successor line reports too. An amber marker means some were left out.
Net open-market activity over all recorded history: +2.08M shares. Grants, option exercises and tax withholding are excluded — they are compensation mechanics, not decisions to buy or sell.
