”‹On 9 December 2016, the board of Aberdeen Frontier Markets (AFMC) announced that take up of its 100% tender offer had exceeded expectations. After deliberating on the future of the fund, the board is asking shareholders to approve a shift to direct investing in frontier markets. Shareholders still have the opportunity of a cash exit if desired but the manager is injecting up to £10m into the fund to keep it viable.

Last year, Aberdeen Frontier Markets (AFMC) moved from investing via funds to investing directly.

abrdn Private Equity Opportunities – On the way to greener pastures?

Despite navigating through what its managers considered to be challenging conditions in 2023, abrdn Private Equity Opportunities (APEO) was able to report both positive NAV growth and double-digit share price returns in its recently published annual results.

These figures were generated over a period that saw a slowdown in activity in European private equity markets in 2023, dampened by what APEO’s managers believed was a residual fear of r...
