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. Despite attractive yield, ACP's earnings have been inconsistent, and dividend sustainability is questionable if interest rates remain elevated and defaults rise.

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. The fund is globally diversified, reducing exposure to U.S. fiscal risks, but bonds are not as effective at protecting against currency risks as some other asset types.
