abrdn Private Equity Opportunities Trust – Unrecognised success
Given that abrdn Private Equity Opportunities Trust (APEO) is one of a limited number of ways in which investors can access a diverse pool of private equity managers, and that it has also produced long-term returns ahead of comparable equity indices and its peer group average, it might be reasonable to think that its shares would trade reasonably close to NAV. However, that is clearly not the case currently. APEO continues to trade on a stubbornly wide discount of 42.0%, possibly due to investors’ fears around valuations or market outlook, both of which could be misplaced.The APEO team has been increasing its allocation to co-investments, which, all things being equal, should make the fund a more attractive opportunity, by reducing its underlying fees, and making APEO a better reflection of the team’s highest conviction investments.
