The dividend payment information presented refers to the abrdn SICAV I – Global Dynamic Dividend Fund, Class A Gross MIncA USD, and is used to provide an approximate dividend rate. The ABGDD & ABGDD-RMF funds invest in the abrdn SICAV I – Global Dynamic Dividend Fund, Class Z Gross MIncA USD (the master fund), which has lower fees. This results in a higher net asset value (NAV) for Class Z compared to Class A, leading to a slight variation in dividend rates between the two share classes.
