Aberdeen Total Dynamic Dividend Fund (AOD) is a diversified, closed-end management investment company with a primary investment objective of seeking high current dividend income. As a secondary objective, the company aims for long-term capital growth. AOD predominantly invests in foreign securities, including direct investments in securities of foreign issuers and depositary receipts representing indirect interests in such securities. The fund's portfolio is diversified across various sectors, such as Information Technology, Financials, Healthcare, and Industrials.
Recently, AOD has been involved in significant corporate activities. On October 23, 2023, the Board of Trustees announced the proposed reorganization of several closed-end investment companies advised by First Trust Advisors L.P. into respective Acquiring Funds. These mergers are expected to increase the assets under management and improve the scale, liquidity, and marketability of the funds, potentially leading to a tighter discount or a premium to NAV over time. The reorganizations, which are subject to shareholder approvals, are anticipated to be completed in the first quarter of 2024.
AOD’s management emphasizes that there will be no changes to the current objectives or policies of the Acquiring Funds as a result of these reorganizations. Furthermore, these mergers are designed to be tax-free for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Shareholders of ASGI and AOD are not required to vote on the issuance of new shares related to the reorganizations, though ACP shareholders will vote on this matter at a special shareholder meeting scheduled for January 19, 2024.
Additional details regarding these transactions will be provided in the prospectus/proxy statements, which will be distributed to shareholders after the necessary filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Investors are encouraged to review these documents carefully as they contain important information about the proposed reorganizations.
As a closed-end fund, AOD is traded on the secondary market through stock exchanges, and its investment return and principal value fluctuate. Therefore, an investor's shares may be worth more or less than their original cost, and shares may trade at a premium or discount to NAV. No assurance can be given that the fund will achieve its investment objectives, and past performance is not indicative of future results.
