ACP: Don't Be Fooled By The High Yield; Consider These Alternatives Instead
ACP's high distribution yield is unsustainable, funded by return of capital, leading to shrinking NAV and likely further cuts. The fund's total expenses exceed its long-term returns, making it nearly impossible for investors to achieve decent performance. Low-cost alternatives like BKLN, JAAA, and JBBB offer better credit quality, lower fees, and superior total returns.

ACP: An Unsustainable Distribution Is A Real Problem
abrdn Income Credit Strategies Fund offers an exceptionally high 15.76% yield, outpacing peers and major bond indices, appealing to income-focused investors. Despite the attractive yield, the ACP closed-end fund is not covering distributions with investment profits, leading to a declining share price and potential for further cuts. The fund is globally diversified, reducing exposure to U.S. fiscal risks, but bonds are not as effective at protecting against currency risks as some other asset types.

ACP: Turning Point Could Be Approaching But I'm Still Cautious (Rating Upgrade)
ACP has continued to experience price declines amidst the higher interest rate environment. However, we are at a turning point where things can start to improve. ACP trades at a significant discount to NAV; concerns remain about credit market outlook and sustainability of distributions. The fund's portfolio is diverse but lacks tech exposure and relies heavily on consumer-facing investments, posing risks in high inflation and tariff uncertainty.
