PHILADELPHIA , Sept. 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- The following Aberdeen Investments U.S. Closed-End Funds (NYSE: ACP, AGD, AOD, ASGI, AWP, THQ, THW and NYSE American: AEF, FAX, FCO, VFL), announced today that the closed end funds in the chart directly below will pay the distributions indicated on a per share basis on September 30, 2025 to all shareholders of record as of September 23, 2025 (ex-dividend date September 23, 2025).

PHILADELPHIA , Aug. 29, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- The Aberdeen Investments U.S. Closed-End Funds (NYSE: ASGI, THQ), (the "Funds" or individually the "Fund"), today announced that the Funds paid the distributions noted in the table below on August 29, 2025, on a per share basis to all shareholders of record as of August 22, 2025 (ex-dividend date August 22, 2025). Ticker Exchange Fund Amount ASGI NYSE abrdn Global Infrastructure Income Fund $ 0.2100 THQ NYSE abrdn Healthcare Opportunities Fund $ 0.1800 Each Fund has adopted a distribution policy to provide investors with a stable distribution out of current income, supplemented by realized capital gains and, to the extent necessary, paid-in capital.

abrdn's Healthcare Opportunities Fund offers a compelling way to play the sector (including UnitedHealth), but also with a big 13.3% yield and an attractive price discount versus net asset value. Healthcare stocks currently offer compelling contrarian value opportunities, as titans like Warren Buffett and David Tepper recently took large stakes in industry stalwart UnitedHealth, for example. This report reviews the fund strategy, valuation, dividend safety and risks; and then concludes with my strong opinion on investing.

THQ offers a high 14% yield and diversified healthcare exposure, but recent performance has lagged, with a 26.6% price drop and negative total returns. Aggressive leverage and inconsistent net investment income raise concerns about the sustainability of THQ's distributions, especially in a high interest rate environment. While THQ trades at a larger discount to NAV, ongoing weak earnings and reliance on net realized gains limit its upside and downside protection.
