FCO Merger With FAX, Our Previous Flops Turned Into A Big Win

abrdn Global Income Fund (FCO) faced a premium collapse after a proposed merger with abrdn Asia-Pacific Income Fund (FAX). FCO's unsustainable distribution yield and eroding NAV made a premium decline inevitable at some point, but the trigger here was the merger proposal. BWG remains an attractive alternative for investors seeking similar exposure, as FCO's days of extreme premiums are likely over.

abrdn Global Income Fund: Countdown To Zero

FCO trades at a record 115% premium to NAV, driven by an unsustainable 12.6% yield funded mostly by return of capital.

Closed-End Funds: Screening For Potential Opportunities To Kick Off H2 2025

We closed out the first half of 2025, making it an appropriate time to give the overall CEF space a fresh look for potential opportunities.

BWG And FCO: FCO Gets To Absurd Premium, Making BWG A Reasonable Alternative

BWG remains a more attractive option than FCO due to its favorable valuation, though FCO has outperformed. This outperformance came from FCO seeing its premium climb to all-time high levels, pushing into triple-digit territory. Combining the incredibly high premium with an unsustainable distribution rate makes FCO a poor investment, and BWG looks more favorable.

Closed-End Funds: Screening For Potential Opportunites To Kick Off Q1 2025

The closed-end fund space saw a significant narrowing of discounts throughout 2024 as equity markets charged higher and now discounts remain tight heading into 2025.

We saw the usual outcome, which is a drastic sell-off as is often the case with the dangerous combination of elevated NAV distribution rates and premiums are mixed. We are looking at two more names to warn about in the future, but predicting distribution cuts is incredibly difficult as funds can pay out what they'd like.
