Aberdeen knows global markets from the local level upwards, drawing on more than 1,900 staff, across 31 offices in 23 countries.  Our investment teams are based in the markets or regions in which they invest, which we believe provides our clients with access to local knowledge backed by a global perspective.

Closed-end funds are traded on the secondary market through one of the stock exchanges. The Fund’s investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares may be worth more or less than the original cost. Shares of closed-end funds may trade above (a premium) or below (a discount) the net asset value (NAV) of the fund’s portfolio. There is no assurance that the Fund will achieve its investment objective. Past performance does not guarantee future results.
