Valor de mercado US$ 818 mi

The abrdn Global Infrastructure Income Fund offers a compelling 13.76% yield, primarily through distributions from global infrastructure equities and private equity holdings. ASGI's portfolio is heavily weighted toward common equities (77.3%), providing inflation protection and exposure to companies with stable, often growing dividends. Distribution coverage is robust, with recent payouts fully supported by net realized gains and investment income, mitigating concerns over sustainability.

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- abrdn Global Infrastructure Income Fund (NYSE: ASGI) (the "Fund") today announced the results of its transferable rights offering (the "Offering"), which commenced on September 21, 2026, and expired at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on October 15, 2026 (the "Expiration Date").

2 popular infrastructure CEFs look like solid choices for income investors, but their payouts tell a different story. A close look at their latest reports shows where the distributions are really coming from. Rising leverage costs, duration risks, and exposure to one crowded market trade add risks that most investors overlook.

Higher interest rates have pushed down the prices of many income-producing securities, which creates better entry yields for investors who can tell temporary pressure from real damage. Some high-yield names now face deteriorating fundamentals or rely on the return of capital to fund their payouts, so I'd be cautious with them. I highlight two dividend picks whose sell-offs look driven by rate fears and sector sentiment, not by broken business models.

abrdn Global Infrastructure Income Fund (ASGI) announced a 1-for-3 transferable rights offering, with a September 21, 2026 record date and an October 15, 2026 expiry. The subscription price is the higher of 92.5% of the five-day average market price or 92.5% of NAV, effectively locking in a 7.5% discount to NAV. With ASGI trading at a -7.65% discount, just wider than the floor, buying shares on the open market is currently cheaper than subscribing.

Closed-end fund sector performance was weak this week, with just 2 of 26 sectors positive on price and 1 positive on NAV; the average sector discount widened to -6.43%. Commodities led sector price returns (+1.36%) and NAV returns (+1.25%), while Real Estate lagged on price (-2.58%) and MLPs lagged on NAV (-2.40%); Sector Equity trades at the widest premium (+21.29%), and U.S. Equity at the widest discount (-14.11%). Key corporate actions include HERZ's tender offer for up to 5% of outstanding shares at 97.5% of NAV, ASGI's 1-for-3 transferable rights offering, and BCAT's 1-for-5 rights offering still open through October 21.

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- The abrdn Global Infrastructure Income Fund (NYSE: ASGI) (the "Fund") announced today that it will pay the distribution indicated on a per-share basis on October 30, 2026, to all shareholders of record as of October 6, 2026 (ex-dividend date: October 6, 2026).

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- abrdn Global Infrastructure Income Fund (NYSE: ASGI) (the "Fund") today announced that its Board of Trustees has approved the terms of the issuance of transferable rights ("Rights") to the Fund's common shareholders, allowing the holders of Rights to subscribe for new common shares of beneficial interest, par value $0.001 per share ("Common Shares") of the Fund (the "Offering").

abrdn Global Infrastructure Income Fund maintains a Hold rating due to sector headwinds and a small premium to NAV. ASGI offers a well-covered 12% yield, but distribution coverage may weaken as NAV declines with utility and industrial sector underperformance. Recent fund changes include conversion to a perpetual structure and continuation of a managed distribution policy set at 12% of NAV.

I maintain a cautious stance on the abrdn Global Infrastructure Income Fund after its recent 10% price drop and dividend reduction. ASGI's 11.5% forward yield remains attractive, but its payout is highly dependent on capital gains rather than net investment income. Rising long-term yields and heavy AI-driven infrastructure exposure threaten ASGI's NAV growth and distribution sustainability.
