Abrdn U.S. Closed-End Funds Disclose Distribution Payments

abrdn U.S. Closed-End Funds, listed under the tickers ASGI and THQ on the NYSE, released details of their distribution payments made on October 31, 2024. The funds catered to shareholders on record as of October 24, 2024. The abrdn Global Infrastructure Income Fund (ASGI) dispensed $0.2100 per share, while the abrdn Healthcare Opportunities Fund (THQ) paid $0.1800 per share.

Both funds have policies ensuring stable distributions, factoring in current income and realized capital gains. Nevertheless, these distributions largely constitute a return of capital, indicating a payout exceeding income and gains. This aspect should not be mistaken for yield or income as it could reflect returning part of the invested capital.

Investors are advised to consider these estimates as preliminary, with definitive tax reporting details available post-fiscal year-end. Each fund also communicated its cumulative distribution rates and performance metrics until September 30, 2024.
