AOD: Healthier Dividend Coverage But Still Expensive

abrdn Total Dynamic Dividend Fund offers global equity exposure and a high 12.1% dividend yield, with monthly payouts. AOD trades at a 4.15% discount to NAV, but this is one of its least attractive valuations versus its ten-year history. Dividend coverage has improved, with recent annual earnings exceeding distributions, supporting payout sustainability for at least the next twelve months.

AOD: Yield Depends On Bull Markets

AOD is a diversified equity fund, primarily invested in large caps. While it aims to provide tax-advantaged dividends to shareholders, most of their yield is not supported by the portfolio's dividends. Distributions depend on capital gains and partial liquidation of NAV growth, potentially reducing the yield in a bear market.

You Can't Fight Facts. Raising AOD To A Strong Buy While Lowering AGD To A Sell

Momentum in a stock or fund can be a bull market's best friend. But just because a low-volume fund can be manipulated higher, doesn't mean its fundamentals have improved. Take, for example, the abrdn Global Dynamic Dividend Fund, which has seen its valuation jump to a +16.6% premium over NAV, the highest in 15 years. But that comes at a cost since a buyer of AGD won't even get the 11.3% NAV yield the fund pays out. Instead, they only get a 9.7% current yield.

If AGD Can Rise To A +13.6% Premium, What Should AOD Trade At?

The abrdn Global Dynamic Dividend fund (AGD) and the abrdn Total Dynamic Dividend fund (AOD) have essentially the exact same portfolio and weightings. And yet AGD has gone parabolic at market price and now trades at a +13.6% premium while AOD trades at a -5.5% discount. That's almost a 20% valuation difference. Why is this important? Because CEFs tend to trade based on their market yields and AOD's current yield is +12.7% while AGD's is +10.0%. That 270 basis point difference is huge.

AOD: Inconsistent Dividend Coverage And Premium Valuation

AOD offers global equity exposure and a high 13.2% yield, but inconsistent distribution coverage raises sustainability concerns. The fund trades at its smallest discount to NAV in a decade, making current valuations less attractive for new accumulation. AOD underperforms traditional ETFs in total return due to its income-focused strategy and reliance on selling gains for payouts.

A Clear Arbitrage Opportunity: Swap AGD For AOD

A year ago, I wrote an article questioning why abrdn would raise the distributions of two of their managed funds by a whopping 70%. Those two funds were AGD and AOD. After taking over management of the Alpine funds in 2018, the issuer sought to update AGD and AOD's strategy, and ultimately, make them more attractive to income investors. And one surefire way to do that in an inflationary world would be to adopt a 12% NAV distribution policy, which significantly boosted their current distribution levels.

AOD: Solid Income CEF, But Currently Trading At A Premium

abrdn Total Dynamic Dividend Fund employs a diversified strategy focusing on income generation through investments in high-quality equities. AOD prioritizes companies with strong balance sheets, consistent earnings growth, and sustainable competitive advantages. AOD's discount to NAV level has been shrinking recently. This could indicate that the fund trades at a premium.
