Key Terms

closed-end funds, net asset value (NAV), premium, discount, +1 more

5 terms

closed-end funds financial

"Shares of closed-end funds are listed for trading on national securities exchanges"

A closed-end fund is an investment pool that raises a fixed amount of money by issuing a set number of shares, which then trade on an exchange like stocks. Unlike bank-style mutual funds that buy or sell shares on demand, its market price can sit above or below the fund’s per-share value of holdings (like a used-car market price versus the sticker price), so investors should watch both the traded price and the underlying asset value for potential bargains or risks.

net asset value (NAV) financial

"may be greater than (a "premium") or less than (a "discount") the fund's net asset value (NAV)"

Net asset value (NAV) is the per-share value of an investment fund calculated by totaling the fund’s assets, subtracting its liabilities, and dividing the remainder by the number of outstanding shares. Think of it like a price tag on each share of a collective piggy bank: investors use NAV to see what each share is worth, to compare funds, and, for many funds, it’s the price at which shares are bought or redeemed.

premium financial

"may be greater than (a "premium") or less than (a "discount") the fund's net asset value (NAV)"

A premium is the extra amount paid above a standard or reference value — for example, paying more than a stock’s current market price, the face value of a bond, or the base cost of an insurance policy. Investors care because a premium signals that buyers expect something extra (better growth, lower risk, or immediate access), and it affects returns and valuation much like paying a surcharge for faster service or higher quality.

View in glossary

discount financial

"may be greater than (a "premium") or less than (a "discount") the fund's net asset value (NAV)"

A discount is when a security or fund is selling for less than a basic benchmark value — for example the value of the assets behind it, its original face value, or its recent market price. For investors this matters because a discount can be an opportunity to buy cheaper than what you might expect to be the asset’s worth, but it can also signal underlying problems or lower future returns, much like buying a product below sticker price that may come with hidden issues.

dividend reinvestment plan financial

"who participate in the fund's dividend reinvestment plan should be aware that distributions may be reinvested"

A dividend reinvestment plan lets shareholders automatically use cash dividends to buy more shares of the same company instead of receiving the money. It matters to investors because it turns regular payouts into a steady way to grow ownership and take advantage of compound returns—like having your savings automatically buy additional slices of a pie over time—while often reducing transaction costs and smoothing purchase timing.

PHILADELPHIA, May 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- abrdn Global Infrastructure Income Fund (NYSE: ASGI) announces that, at its Annual Meeting held today, shareholders approved the proposal to remove the Fund's term limit and convert the Fund to a perpetual fund. There are no anticipated changes to the Fund's current investment portfolio as a result of shareholder approval. Effective today, the Investment Advisory Agreement is amended to institute breakpoints in the advisory fee payable by the Fund, which at current asset levels will result in an immediate reduction of the Fund's net investment advisory fee and has the potential to reduce the net advisory fees paid by the Fund as its assets increase. Furthermore, at the Fund's Annual Meeting, shareholders voted to re-elect members of the Board of Trustees.

As of the record date, March 16, 2026, the Fund had 31,628,809 outstanding common shares. 80.4% of outstanding common shares were voted representing a quorum.

The description of the proposal and number of shares voted at the Meetings are as follows: 

Proposal 1:
Approve an amendment to the Fund's Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust (the "Declaration of Trust") to cause the Fund to become a perpetual fund by eliminating the requirement that it dissolve as of the close of business on July 28, 2035, unless extended as permitted by the Declaration of Trust.

Votes For	Votes Against/Withheld	Votes Abstained
9,286,514	2,628,735	279,868

Proposal 2:
Elect three Class III Trustees.

	Votes For	Votes Against/Withheld
Alan Goodson	24,677,708	760,258
Thomas W. Hunersen	24,628,372	809,594
Nancy Yao	24,664,456	773,511

Important Information

Shares of closed-end funds are listed for trading on national securities exchanges and are bought and sold in the secondary market. The market price of a fund's shares is determined by supply and demand and may be greater than (a "premium") or less than (a "discount") the fund's net asset value (NAV). A fund's investment return and principal value will fluctuate, and investors may receive more or less than their original investment upon the sale of shares. There is no assurance that a fund will achieve its investment objective. Past performance is not indicative of future results.

The trading price of a closed-end fund's shares may be influenced by various factors, including market conditions, investor sentiment, and other external forces, and is not directly controlled by the fund, its Board of Directors, or its investment adviser. As a result, shares may trade at a premium to or discount from NAV at any given time. A premium to NAV may not be sustained, and a discount to NAV may increase or decrease over time. Investors should consider these risks when purchasing or selling closed-end fund shares.

Shareholders whose fund shares trade at a premium to NAV and who participate in the fund's dividend reinvestment plan should be aware that distributions may be reinvested at prices above NAV, which may adversely affect investment results.
