AGD: Hard To Recommend This Fund At Its Current Price
The abrdn Global Dynamic Dividend Fund offers a high 12.45% yield, but its long-term real returns have lagged both peers and global equity indices. Despite strong income, AGD's portfolio is heavy in low-yield, high-valuation stocks, undermining its income-focused mandate and inflation protection. The fund now has a large position in MUFG, which could be well-positioned to profit from a shift to a multipolar banking world.

AGD: Global Exposure Without Leverage
AGD offers a high dividend yield of 14.5% and monthly distributions, making it attractive for income-focused investors, especially retirees. The fund's performance is heavily reliant on bullish market momentum, with recent declines creating a potential buying opportunity at a discount to NAV. AGD's portfolio is diversified globally, with significant exposure to technology, financials, and healthcare sectors, but lacks option strategies to mitigate volatility.

AGD: Fully Covering Distribution, But Increasing Domestic Exposure
The abrdn Global Dynamic Dividend Fund offers a high yield of 12.94%, making it attractive for income-seeking investors amidst inflation concerns. The fund has a considerably higher yield than most of its peers, but the distribution was fully covered in the most recent year. The fund's increasing exposure to U.S. equities is a questionable decision given high domestic valuations and lower yields than available abroad.

AGD: This Global Dividend Fund Is Increasing Its Domestic Exposure
The abrdn Global Dynamic Dividend Fund offers an incredibly high yield for an equity fund, which may entice some investors. The fund has failed to match the performance of the S&P 500 Index or the MSCI World Index over the past three months, even when we consider the distributions. The fund claims to invest at least 40% of its assets internationally, but it is currently below that and its international diversification appears to be weakening.

abrdn Raises Distributions For AOD And AGD By 70%-Plus
Another day, another family of CEF funds raises their distributions dramatically, this time by 70%-plus. But why now when it looks as though interest rates have peaked and will be coming down? Well, one reason is the competition from other CEFs and now ETFs offering ridiculously high annualized yields to income-hungry investors trying to keep up with inflation.
