I maintain a cautious stance on the abrdn Global Infrastructure Income Fund after its recent 10% price drop and dividend reduction. ASGI's 11.5% forward yield remains attractive, but its payout is highly dependent on capital gains rather than net investment income. Rising long-term yields and heavy AI-driven infrastructure exposure threaten ASGI's NAV growth and distribution sustainability.
