AOD: Inconsistent Dividend Coverage And Premium Valuation

AOD offers global equity exposure and a high 13.2% yield, but inconsistent distribution coverage raises sustainability concerns. The fund trades at its smallest discount to NAV in a decade, making current valuations less attractive for new accumulation. AOD underperforms traditional ETFs in total return due to its income-focused strategy and reliance on selling gains for payouts.

A Clear Arbitrage Opportunity: Swap AGD For AOD

A year ago, I wrote an article questioning why abrdn would raise the distributions of two of their managed funds by a whopping 70%. Those two funds were AGD and AOD. After taking over management of the Alpine funds in 2018, the issuer sought to update AGD and AOD's strategy, and ultimately, make them more attractive to income investors. And one surefire way to do that in an inflationary world would be to adopt a 12% NAV distribution policy, which significantly boosted their current distribution levels.
