Edison Releases Report on Aberdeen Asian Income Fund's 20th Anniversary

Edison Investment Research Limited has announced a report on the Aberdeen Asian Income Fund (AAIF) as it marks its 20th anniversary. The fund, listed on the London Stock Exchange, celebrates this milestone with improved performance under the leadership of new manager, Isaac Thong. Thong, who joined Aberdeen’s Asia Pacific Equities team in Singapore as senior investment director in May 2025, has implemented strategic changes that include reducing geographic positions while increasing stock-specific risk. His approach, along with investment director Eric Chan, aims to enhance the fund's long-term outperformance record.

Early 2025 saw AAIF’s board introduce an enhanced dividend policy coupled with a three-year continuation vote, potentially boosting its attractiveness to current and potential investors. These developments are part of AAIF's broader strategy to solidify its market position and drive shareholder value.
