Aberdeen Funds Declare Dividend Dates and Amounts for October 2026

Philadelphia, Oct. 9, 2026 -- Several Aberdeen U.S. Closed-End Funds have announced their upcoming dividend payment dates and amounts. The funds will distribute dividends per share on October 30, 2026, to shareholders of record as of October 23, 2026.

The announcement covers 11 funds listed under various tickers on the NYSE and NYSE American exchanges. The distribution amounts vary by fund, with the abrdn Income Credit Strategies Fund (ACP) set to pay $0.0550 per share, and the abrdn Healthcare Opportunities Fund (THQ) distributing $0.1700 per share.

The funds' management stated that each fund's distribution policy is subject to modification by its respective Board of Directors and that there is no guarantee the policy will continue. Investors are cautioned not to infer investment performance solely from the distribution amounts. A Form 1099-DIV will be sent to shareholders at year-end, detailing the amount and composition of each fund's distributions for tax purposes.

Specifically, the abrdn Healthcare Opportunities Fund (THQ) and abrdn World Healthcare Fund (THW) provided estimated sources for their distributions. For THQ, the estimated $0.17 distribution per share includes $0.1666 (98%) from return of capital and $0.0034 (2%) from net realized long-term capital gains. For THW, the estimated $0.11 distribution per share consists of $0.0737 (67%) from return of capital, $0.0330 (30%) from net realized long-term capital gains, and $0.0033 (3%) from net realized short-term capital gains, including currency gains.

These figures represent estimates, and their final composition may vary. A return of capital distribution indicates that a fund estimates it has distributed more than its income and capital gains, meaning a portion of the investor's principal is being returned. This should not be mistaken for yield or income.
