AEF: An Upcoming Tender Offer And Distribution Increase For This Emerging Markets Equity Fund
The abrdn Emerging Markets Equity Income Fund is shifting to an "ex-China" strategy, aiming to align with investor sentiment and reduce exposure to Chinese equities. The fund's new policies include a 20% tender offer, a performance-based tender offer policy, and an increased distribution rate from 6.5% to 10%. Despite these changes, the fund's historical performance has been underwhelming, and I remain skeptical about its ability to outperform low-fee ETFs like the Schwab Emerging Markets Equity ETF.
