Analysis · AOD · Unknown
The abrdn Total Dynamic Dividend Fund has commenced an At-The-Market (ATM) equity offering program, allowing it to sell up to $75 million of common shares from time to time. This program is being executed under a previously filed shelf registration. For a closed-end fund, issuing shares at or above Net Asset Value (NAV) is a common strategy to grow assets under management (AUM) and can be accretive to NAV per share if the fund is trading at a premium. The filing explicitly states shares will not be sold below current NAV, which protects existing shareholders from value dilution on a per-share NAV basis.
