abrdn Global Infrastructure Income Fund (ASGI) has changed from a term-structured fund to a perpetual closed-end fund, eliminating its guaranteed liquidity event. While ASGI currently trades near its net asset value (NAV), perpetual CEFs with illiquid assets often face significant NAV discounts, especially in markets wary of illiquidity. The fund offers a yield above 12%, but nearly half of its distributions are return of capital, which raises questions about the sustainability and risk profile of the income. The analyst expects ASGI to underperform going forward and suggests investors consider lower-risk alternatives like HFRO.PR.B for core fixed income exposure.
