Schedule 13Gregulatory
"Item 1. (a) Name of issuer: ABERDEEN MULTI-MARKET INCOME FUND"
A Schedule 13G is a formal document that investors file with the government when they acquire a large ownership stake in a company, usually for investment purposes rather than control. It helps keep the public informed about who owns significant parts of a company's shares, which can influence how the company is managed and how investors make decisions. Filing this schedule is important for transparency and understanding the ownership landscape of publicly traded companies.
Rule 13d-4regulatory
"Pursuant to Rule 13d-4 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934"
shared voting powerfinancial
"Shared Voting Power 7,175,980.00"
Shared voting power occurs when two or more parties jointly have the right to vote or decide how a block of company shares is cast, like co-owners who must agree before moving a piece of furniture. Investors care because who controls voting rights affects board elections, major corporate decisions and takeover outcomes, and shared control can alter regulatory disclosures and the practical influence any holder has over a company’s direction and value.

They reported shared beneficial ownership of 7,175,980 shares, equal to 6.2% of the class based on April 30, 2026 outstanding shares of 115,993,500.
Does the filing say Sit Advisors control the shares in MMT?
The filing states Sit Advisors have shared voting and dispositive power over the securities held by client Accounts but they disclaim beneficial ownership pursuant to Rule 13d-4 in this Schedule 13G.
Are the shares owned directly by Sit or by client accounts for MMT?
The Schedule 13G indicates all disclosed securities are owned by the client Accounts advised by Sit; the advisers act in their capacity as investment advisers and report authority over those Accounts' holdings.
What outstanding share count did the filing use to calculate the 6.2% figure for MMT?
The percentage is calculated using 115,993,500 shares outstanding as of April 30, 2026, as reported in the issuer's Form N-CSRS referenced in this filing.
