ASGI: 12% Yield, Upcoming Changes In September

abrdn Standard Global Infrastructure Income Fund offers high yield with ~47% non-North American holdings, aiming for total return with an emphasis on current income. ASGI's forward dividend yield is 12.43%, with a recent increase in monthly dividends, and plans to maintain this rate until at least May 2025.

ASGI: An Underrated Fund That Should Continue To Deliver Impressive Income

I am initiating coverage of the Aberdeen Global Infrastructure Income Fund with a buy rating due to its strong construction, diversification, and performance in inflationary environments. ASGI has delivered 18.80% total returns since inception, with a forward yield of 12.59% and minimal exposure to high-risk growth companies. The fund's significant positions in industrials and utilities, particularly in the railroad and midstream energy sectors, make it well-suited for a slow-growth, high-price environment.

ASGI: Delivering Results While Discount Remains Attractive

abrdn Global Infrastructure Income Fund has performed well, driven by discount narrowing, but also seeing some positive underlying portfolio performance as well. Despite the discount narrowing, the ASGI fund still appears to trade at a reasonably attractive discount due to the increased managed distribution policy. The fund's managed distribution policy increase to a rolling 12% of NAV may be difficult to sustain long-term, in my opinion, but that doesn't mean performance can't still be attractive.

My Top 10 Closed-End Fund Holdings: August 2024

Closed-end funds overall have seen discounts narrow since the start of the year, but opportunities still exist in certain areas of the market. With increased market volatility more recently, that may lead to discounts widening back out, which could create even more opportunities in this structure. I hold 42 positions in my CEF portfolio, with the top 10 positions making up 37.40% of the portfolio—here's a review of those top 10 names.
