External Roles

No public company directorships or external board roles for Mr. Silue are disclosed in ASGI’s proxy or N‑14 filings .

Fixed Compensation

  • The Fund discloses that “officers of the Fund did not receive any compensation from the Fund”; executive compensation for officers employed by abrdn Inc. (e.g., base salary, target/actual bonus) is not disclosed in the Fund’s filings .

Performance Compensation

  • The Fund provides no disclosure of performance-based incentive structures (RSUs/PSUs, options, performance metrics/weightings, payouts, vesting) for Fund officers; officers receive no compensation from the Fund .

Equity Ownership & Alignment

MetricValueNotes
Officers and Trustees aggregate beneficial ownership of ASGI<1% (as of June 9, 2025)Aggregate across officers and Trustees; individual officer holdings (including Mr. Silue) are not itemized .
Trustee/Officer Section 16 complianceAll required reports timely filed for FY2024 (per Fund review)Based on EDGAR forms review and written representations; does not itemize by officer .

Implications:

  • Minimal on-fund equity alignment signal from officer-level holdings, given aggregate ownership under 1% and absence of individual officer breakdown .
  • No evidence of pledging/hedging or ownership guideline disclosures for officers in Fund filings .

Employment Terms

Clawbacks / tax gross-upsNot disclosed for Fund officers .

Performance & Track Record

  • The Fund’s documents provide officer biographies but do not attribute specific investment or operational performance outcomes to Mr. Silue; no TSR or financial performance metrics are disclosed at the officer level .
  • Board oversight and committee performance (e.g., Audit, Nominating) are described at the Fund level, not attributable to Mr. Silue, who is not listed as a Trustee .

Compensation Structure Analysis

  • Pay-from-Fund: Zero; officers are compensated by abrdn Inc., not ASGI—limiting any direct link between Fund performance metrics and officer pay within Fund filings .
  • Absence of disclosed equity awards, vesting schedules, or option programs for Fund officers suggests limited near-term insider selling pressure driven by Fund-based awards .
  • No disclosed repricing/modification of awards, discretionary bonuses, or changes in performance metric difficulty at the Fund-officer level .

Related Party Transactions, Conflicts, and Governance Signals

  • Administration and investor relations are provided by abrdn Inc., an affiliate; officers of the Fund are also officers/directors of abrdn Inc.; no remuneration is paid by the Fund with respect to personnel sharing arrangements .
  • Audit, independence, and governance processes are described; officer compensation and related-party payments to officers are not reported, as the Fund does not compensate officers .

Equity Ownership & Section 16 Examples (Context)

  • Recent Form 3 examples for other reporting persons (not Mr. Silue) indicated “No securities are beneficially owned,” illustrating low insider direct ownership norms across affiliated officers/directors; these examples do not evidence Mr. Silue’s individual holdings .

Investment Implications

  • Alignment: With officers paid by abrdn Inc. and no Fund-level equity compensation disclosed, direct pay-for-performance alignment at the Fund-officer level is limited; aggregate insider ownership under 1% reinforces modest “skin in the game” within Fund governance norms .
  • Selling Pressure: Lack of disclosed RSU/option grants and vesting schedules for Fund officers suggests low mechanical insider selling pressure from Fund-based awards; any selling would come from personal holdings (not disclosed for Mr. Silue) .
  • Retention/COC Risk: Employment economics (base, bonus, severance, COC) for Mr. Silue reside at abrdn Inc. and are not disclosed in Fund filings, leaving limited visibility into retention incentives and change-of-control protections at the individual level .
  • Governance Comfort: Officers are elected annually and filings indicate timely Section 16 compliance, supporting baseline governance hygiene; however, the absence of officer-level ownership and incentive detail reduces transparency for pay-for-performance assessment .
