"Strong stock selection and a pickup in M&A activity has driven AEI’s outperformance over 12 months…
Overview
Thomas Moore, manager of abrdn Equity Income (AEI), employs an index-agnostic approach to investing in UK equities, aiming to deliver above-average and growing income to investors, alongside capital growth. His strategy centres on stock selection, targeting companies based on their individual merits and alignment with the trust’s objectives, rather than their weighting in an index. This flexible approach enables him to uncover value across the market, including opportunities in areas often overlooked by traditional equity income strategies.

Over the past year, Thomas has capitalised on market volatility by making a number of adjustments to the Portfolio on valuation grounds. This included investing in well-established, high-yielding large-cap names such as M&G and Imperial Brands, whilst also identifying compelling prospects in the small- and mid-cap space, adding Petershill and Galliford Try, which offer attractive yields and greater growth potential, to the portfolio."

I'm not seeing any tables on the AEI website, but they are present on ADVFN;

[aleman] 13/6/2024 13:59:29

Anybody else finding just commentary text and no tables of numbers in the interim results?

[essentialinvestor] 22/3/2024 13:37:48

I wonder might they merge Shires with AEI..?.

[panshanger1] 22/3/2024 13:21:05

Not much liquidity as a very small trust I've been nibbling a few but not quite sure how he gets the yield ( plus costs) from the portfolio Some must be coming from capital

[rcturner2] 22/3/2024 08:29:31

I managed to get some at 260p last week and just tried to double up, but nothing available.

[prokartace] 21/3/2024 11:30:43

Bought on a 11% discount and 8.5% yield

Plenty of Aberdeen trusts in wind down or mergers. Not long before this one gets shuffled into another UK equity income trust.

This has had an excellent run ever since I put it on my watch list !!

[edward3] 01/12/2022 15:26:39

Excellent dividend ..

[jfinvestments] 30/8/2022 16:41:13

I actually quite like the portfolio here. Oil, mining and financials (though I haven't seen the most up to date top ten). But it's performance has been terrible over the last 1, 3, 5 years. 7 years +0.4 % . What is the story here? Has anyone been invested that long? I fully understand the high dividend is attractive and something we are all probably looking for with this being a dividend hero. But that's some poor performance.
