Aberdeen Multi-Market Income Fund

MMT

Market cap $243M

PHILADELPHIA, July 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- The Board of Trustees of Aberdeen Multi-Market Income Fund (NYSE: MMT) has adopted a Managed Distribution Policy ("MDP") for the Fund at an annualized rate equal to 11.00% of MMT's average monthly net asset value. The increase of the MDP results in a meaningful enhancement to the shareholder distribution rate, with the Fund's monthly distribution increased from $0.0328 per share to $0.04 per share, representing a 22% increase over the prior distribution level.

Aberdeen Multimarket Income Trust is rated 'Sell' due to its leveraged exposure amid currently narrow credit spreads. MMT's 32% leverage amplifies volatility and downside risk, especially when spreads widen, making it less attractive than unleveraged ETFs now. The fund's distribution relies significantly on return of capital (32% YTD), reflecting insufficient cash flow support from underlying assets.

PHILADELPHIA, June 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- The reorganization of MFS Intermediate High Income Fund (CIF) and MFS Charter Income Trust (MCR) (collectively, the "Target Funds") into MFS Multimarket Income Trust was successfully completed prior to the opening of the New York Stock Exchange on June 22, 2026. In the reorganization, the Target Funds' common shareholders received an amount of MMT common shares with a net asset value equal to the aggregate net asset value of their holdings of the Target Funds' common shares, as determined at the close of regular business on June 18, 2026.

We review the CEF market valuation and performance through the fourth week of May and highlight recent market action. Closed-end funds (CEFs) saw tightening discounts and mixed NAVs, with fixed-income CEFs underperforming equities amid distribution cuts and price pressures. CLO Equity funds ECC and OXLC reported sharp Q1 NAV declines (27% and 32% respectively), but both rebounded in April as loan prices rose.

We review the CEF market valuation and performance through the fourth week of June and highlight recent market action. CEFs had a strong week, with all sectors in the green and equity-linked sectors leading; valuations remain above historical averages. Distribution increases at HTD and UTG highlight the arbitrary nature of managed distribution plans.
