PHILADELPHIA , Nov. 11, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- The following Aberdeen Investments U.S. Closed-End Funds (NYSE: ACP, AGD, AOD, ASGI, AWP, HQH, HQL, IFN, THQ, THW and NYSE American: FAX, FCO, IAF, VFL), announced today that the closed end funds in the chart directly below will pay the distributions indicated on a per share basis on November 28, 2025 to all shareholders of record as of November 21, 2025 (ex-dividend date November 21, 2025).

abrdn Global Income Fund (FCO) faced a premium collapse after a proposed merger with abrdn Asia-Pacific Income Fund (FAX). FCO's unsustainable distribution yield and eroding NAV made a premium decline inevitable at some point, but the trigger here was the merger proposal. BWG remains an attractive alternative for investors seeking similar exposure, as FCO's days of extreme premiums are likely over.

FCO trades at a record 115% premium to NAV, driven by an unsustainable 12.6% yield funded mostly by return of capital. The fund's NAV is rapidly eroding, with distributions far exceeding investment income, projecting NAV depletion by November 2030 if nothing changes. A dividend cut, secondary offering, or merger is likely.

We closed out the first half of 2025, making it an appropriate time to give the overall CEF space a fresh look for potential opportunities. As the broader equity indexes have been performing quite well, discounts in the CEF space have narrowed overall. The best relative value more broadly is in the municipal bond space and the "hybrid" funds.
