Latest buy/sell spreads for the abrdn funds

Buy/sell spreads are an amount representing the estimated costs arising from applications and withdrawals made by investors moving into and out of a fund. Charging a buy/sell spread ensures that the cost of buying or selling the underlying assets is borne by those making the application or withdrawal, and not the remaining unit holders in a fund. Buy/sell spreads are retained in a fund, not paid to Aberdeen Investments.

The market is experiencing volatility and fluctuations in liquidity due to the impacts of COVID 19, which can result in changes to trading costs in the market. MSC Australia Limited, as the Responsible Entity of the funds listed in the attached document ('the Funds'), will continue to monitor the market conditions and update the buy/sell spreads as appropriate. We may vary or waive the buy/sell spreads for the Funds without notice when it is appropriate to protect the interests of existing investors and if permitted by law.

Please review the latest buy/sell spreads for the Funds before deciding to invest or withdraw from the Funds.

Risk warning

The value of investments, and the income from them, can go down as well as up and an investor may get back less than the amount invested. Past performance is not a guide to future results.
