About Joshua Duitz
Joshua Duitz (year of birth: 1970) serves as Vice President of abrdn Global Infrastructure Income Fund (ASGI) and has held this officer role since 2020. He is Head of Global Income at abrdn Inc. and joined abrdn in 2018 from Alpine Woods Capital Investors LLC, where he was a Portfolio Manager . ASGI’s proxies do not disclose executive-level performance metrics (e.g., TSR attribution, revenue or EBITDA metrics) for officers; they also note fund officers are compensated by the adviser rather than the fund, limiting direct insight into his pay-for-performance linkage at the fund level .

Investment Implications
- Pay-for-performance transparency at the fund level is limited. ASGI pays $0 to its officers and does not disclose adviser-level (abrdn) compensation structures, targets, or vesting; thus, direct alignment between Joshua Duitz’s pay and ASGI’s NAV/market performance cannot be evaluated from fund filings .
- Ownership alignment appears modest at the aggregate level. Trustees and officers collectively hold less than 1% of ASGI shares; individual officer holdings (including any pledging or hedging) are not reported, constraining “skin-in-the-game” analysis and limiting insider trading signal extraction for the fund .
- Retention risk and incentives sit at the adviser. As Head of Global Income at abrdn Inc. and an ASGI Vice President since 2020, Joshua’s compensation and retention levers reside with abrdn’s internal policies, not the fund; fund documents do not reveal non-compete, severance, or change-of-control economics for fund officers .
- Governance is conventional for a closed-end fund complex. Officers are elected annually and serve at the pleasure of the Board; Section 16 compliance is reported as timely, and there are no disclosed red flags (e.g., pledging, related-party arrangements) specific to Joshua in fund proxies .
