ACP: Attractive Valuation But Still Not A Buy

abrdn Income Credit Strategies Fund offers a high 16.5% yield and trades at a notable discount to NAV, appealing to income-focused investors. ACP's portfolio is diversified across global debt securities but relies heavily on below-investment-grade assets and uses leverage, increasing risk in a high-rate environment.

ACP: Don't Be Fooled By The High Yield; Consider These Alternatives Instead

ACP's high distribution yield is unsustainable, funded by return of capital, leading to shrinking NAV and likely further cuts. The fund's total expenses exceed its long-term returns, making it nearly impossible for investors to achieve decent performance. Low-cost alternatives like BKLN, JAAA, and JBBB offer better credit quality, lower fees, and superior total returns.

ACP: An Unsustainable Distribution Is A Real Problem

abrdn Income Credit Strategies Fund offers an exceptionally high 15.76% yield, outpacing peers and major bond indices, appealing to income-focused investors. Despite the attractive yield, the ACP closed-end fund is not covering distributions with investment profits, leading to a declining share price and potential for further cuts.
