JEQ: No Longer A Japan Equities CEF After The Vote

JEQ shareholders approved a merger into ASGI, shifting the fund's focus from Japan equities to global infrastructure investments. A tender offer in August 2025 allows shareholders to exit at 98% of NAV, which is attractive given the fund's historic discount. We believe current JEQ holders should exit via the tender offer or sell outright unless they specifically want global infrastructure exposure.

JEQ: Probably Due A Pause, After A Good Run

abrdn Japan Equity Fund, which has a dismal track record in covering Japanese equities over three decades, has gotten off to a strong start in 2025. JEQ's current distribution profile is not very attractive, while its discount to NAV has narrowed down substantially.
