FAX Stock Recent News

FAX: With The China Stress Behind Us, Asian Debt Looks Attractive

Emerging Asian bonds, the key focus of abrdn's Asia-Pacific Income Fund, have been a beacon of resilience this year. Relative spreads are perhaps too narrow at this point, though, and could be vulnerable to a correction as longer-duration Treasuries normalize. FAX hasn't offered the returns to justify its high expense, levered portfolio and could be particularly vulnerable in a downturn.

abrdn Asia-Pacific Income Fund (FAX) invests in fixed income securities in the Asia-Pacific region, with a history of paying dividends and a current yield of 12.6%. FAX primarily invests in growing, large, and less risky economies, with a portfolio that includes government bonds and investment-grade sovereign bonds. The fund has been relatively unaffected by interest rate hikes but has been impacted by credit spread widening, and its portfolio is considered relatively low risk.
