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). These dates apply to the Funds listed below with the exception of the abrdn Healthcare Investors (HQH), the abrdn Life Sciences Investors (HQL), the abrdn Australia Equity Fund, Inc.

IFN offers exposure to India's long-term growth driven by demographics, consumption, and structural reforms, though current market consolidation and valuation pressures demand cautious positioning. The fund's ~11.5% yield is attractive but largely fueled by capital appreciation, making sustainability dependent on continued Indian market performance and active management success. IFN provides partial diversification benefits for U.S. investors, though correlations with global markets remain high, limiting defensive appeal except during brief geopolitical or macro dislocations.

India Fund trades at elevated valuations — top holdings average a 41x P/E ratio, pricing in perfection and leaving little room for error. India is in the boom phase of its cycle, which historically leads to future disappointments for latecomers. Valuations and sentiment mirror pre-crash China in 2007. Charlie Munger's advice to "fish where the fish are" inspires my focus on overlooked opportunities in emerging markets. There aren't many fish in India left.

Indian equities have begun to recover after a torrid few months. Actively managed IFN is positioned to outperform on the way up. Investors get a +10% yield to sit and wait.

IFN has experienced considerable volatility this year but has managed to outperform other pockets largely due to its distributions. IFN's valuations are not as prohibitive as what it was 8 months back, but its closed-ended peer-IIF and IEMG (a proxy of emerging markets) offer a better earnings valuation tradeoff. Indian banks, which dominate IFN, are suffering from below-par loan growth, and the RBI's shift in stance is likely to put pressure on net interest margins.
