<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt; text-align: center;"><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Times New Roman, Times, serif;"><b>For the Annual Meetings of Shareholders <br>each to be held on May 25, 2023</b></font></p>
<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Times New Roman, Times, serif;">This Joint Proxy Statement is furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies by each Fund's Board of Trustees (each, a "Board," and collectively, the "Boards," with members of each Board being referred to as "Trustees") to be voted at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders of each Fund (each, a "Meeting," and collectively, the "Meetings") to be held at the offices of abrdn Inc., located at 1900 Market Street, Suite 200, Philadelphia, PA 19103 on Thursday, May 25, 2023 and at any adjournments or postponements thereof. A Notice of Annual Meetings of Shareholders and a proxy card (the "Proxy Card") accompany this Joint Proxy Statement. This Joint Proxy Statement is first being mailed on or about April 15, 2023 to shareholders of record as of April 10, 2023.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Times New Roman, Times, serif;">The purpose of each Meeting is to consider and act upon the following proposals (each a "Proposal"), as applicable to each Fund:</font></p>
<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 0pt 0pt;"><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Times New Roman, Times, serif;">AGD &#x2014; To elect two Class III Trustees to serve for a three-year term.</font></p>
<p style="margin:6pt 0pt 0pt 0pt;"><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Times New Roman, Times, serif;">AOD &#x2014; To elect two Class III Trustees to serve for a three-year term.</font></p>
<p style="margin:6pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Times New Roman, Times, serif;">AWP &#x2014; To elect two Class III Trustees to serve for a three-year term.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Times New Roman, Times, serif;">All properly executed proxies received prior to a Meeting will be voted at that Meeting, or at any adjournments or postponements thereof, in accordance with the instructions marked on the Proxy Card. Unless instructions to the contrary are marked on the Proxy Card, proxies received will be voted <b>"FOR"</b> each Proposal. The persons named as proxy holders on the Proxy Card will vote in their discretion on any other matters that may properly come before each Meeting or any adjournments or postponements thereof. Any proxy may be revoked at any time prior to its exercise by submitting a properly executed, subsequently dated Proxy Card, giving written notice to Megan Kennedy, Secretary of the Fund(s), 1900 Market Street, Suite 200, Philadelphia, PA 19103, or by attending a Meeting and voting in person. Shareholders may authorize proxy voting by using the enclosed Proxy Card along with the enclosed envelope with pre-paid postage. Shareholders may also authorize proxy voting by telephone or through the Internet by following the instructions contained on the Proxy Card. Shareholders do not have dissenter's rights of appraisal in connection with any of the matters to be voted on by the shareholders at each Meeting.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Times New Roman, Times, serif;">In order to transact business at the Meetings, a "quorum" must be present for each Meeting. Under each Fund's Agreement and Declaration of Trust, a quorum is constituted by the presence in person or by proxy of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of the respective Fund on the record date. Abstentions and broker non-votes (i.e., proxies from brokers or nominees indicating that they have not received instructions from the beneficial owners on an item for which the brokers or nominees do not have discretionary power to vote) will be treated as present for determining whether a quorum is present with respect to a particular matter at a Meeting.</font></p>

<div style="margin:8pt 0pt 8pt 0pt;">
<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Times New Roman, Times, serif;">The election of a Trustee to a Board requires the affirmative vote of a plurality of the shares entitled to vote for the election of any Trustee present or represented by proxy at a Meeting with a quorum present. Under a plurality vote, the nominees who receive the highest number of votes will be elected even if they receive less than a majority of the votes. For purposes of the election of Trustees, abstentions and broker non-votes will be counted as shares present for quorum purposes, but will not be treated as votes cast. Abstentions and broker non-votes, therefore, will have no effect on the election of the Trustees. All properly executed proxies received prior to the Meetings will be voted, at the Meetings or at any adjournments or postponements thereof, in accordance with the instructions marked thereon. Proxies received prior to the Meetings on which no vote is indicated will be voted "FOR" the election of the Trustees.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Times New Roman, Times, serif;">Brokers holding shares of a Fund in "street name" for the benefit of their customers and clients will request the instructions of such customers and clients on how to vote their shares before the Meetings. Under the rules of the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"), such brokers may, for certain "routine" matters, grant discretionary authority to the proxies designated by a Board to vote if no instructions have been received from their customers and clients prior to the date specified in the brokers' request for voting instructions. Each Proposal is a "routine" matter and accordingly beneficial owners who do not provide proxy instructions or who do not return a proxy card may have their shares voted by broker-dealer firms in favor of the Proposal.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Times New Roman, Times, serif;">The chair of a Meeting shall have the power to adjourn the Meeting without further notice other than announcement at that Meeting. Each Board of Trustees also has the power to postpone a Meeting to a later date and/or time in advance of the Meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes will have the same effect at any adjourned or postponed meeting as noted above. Any business that might have been transacted at a Meeting may be transacted at any such adjourned or postponed session(s) at which a quorum is present.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Times New Roman, Times, serif;">Written notice of an adjournment of a Meeting, stating the place, date and hour thereof, shall be given to each shareholder entitled to vote thereat at least ten (10) days prior to the Meeting, if the Meeting is adjourned to a date more than one hundred thirty (130) days after the original Record Date set for the Meeting.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Times New Roman, Times, serif;">We will admit to each Meeting (1) all shareholders of record on April 10, 2023 (the "Record Date"), (2) persons holding proof of beneficial ownership on the Record Date, such as a letter or account statement from the person's broker, (3) persons who have been granted proxies, and (4) such other persons that we, in our sole discretion, may elect to admit. To gain admittance, if you are a shareholder of record or a proxy holder of a shareholder of record, you must bring a form of personal identification to the Meeting, where your name will be verified against our shareholder list. If a broker or other nominee holds your shares and you plan to attend a Meeting, you should bring a recent brokerage statement showing your ownership of the shares, as well as a form of personal identification. If you are a beneficial owner and plan to vote at a Meeting, you should also bring a proxy card from your broker.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Times New Roman, Times, serif;">Each Board has fixed the close of business on April 10, 2023 as the Record Date for the determination of shareholders entitled to notice of, and to vote at, each Meeting and at any adjournment or postponement thereof.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Times New Roman, Times, serif;">Each Fund has one class of shares, no par value per share. Each share of a Fund is entitled to one vote at the Meeting, and fractional shares are entitled to a proportionate share of one vote. On the Record Date, the following number of shares of each Fund were issued and outstanding:</font></p>

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Times New Roman, Times, serif;">Pursuant to each Fund's Agreement and Declaration of Trust, each Board is divided into three classes, as nearly equal in number as possible, each of which will serve for three years, with one class being elected each year. If elected, each nominee is entitled to hold office until a Fund's annual meeting of shareholders in the year noted below or until his or her successor is elected and qualifies. Trustees who are deemed "interested persons" (as that term is defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the 1940 Act), of a Fund, the Fund's investment adviser, abrdn Investments Limited ("abrdn Ltd." or the "Investment Adviser") or, with respect to abrdn Global Premier Properties Fund, the Fund's investment sub-adviser, abrdn Inc.

Each year, the term of office of one class will expire and the successor(s) elected to such class will serve for a three-year term.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Times New Roman, Times, serif;">Each Board has appointed Mr. Malone, an Independent Trustee, as Chair. The Chair presides at meetings of the Trustees, participates in the preparation of the agenda for meetings of the Board, and acts as a liaison between the Trustees and management between Board meetings. Except for any duties specified herein, the designation of the Chair does not impose on such Trustee any duties, obligations or liability that is greater than the duties, obligations or liability imposed on such person as a member of a Board, generally.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Times New Roman, Times, serif;">Each Board holds regular quarterly meetings to consider and address matters involving the respective Fund. Each Board also may hold special meetings to address matters arising between regular meetings. The Independent Trustees also meet outside the presence of management in executive session at least quarterly and have engaged separate, independent legal counsel to assist them in performing their oversight responsibilities.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Times New Roman, Times, serif;">Each Board has established a committee structure that includes an Audit Committee and a Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee (the "Nominating Committee") (each discussed in more detail below) to assist each Board in the oversight and direction of the business affairs of the respective Fund, and from time to time may establish informal ad hoc committees or working groups to review and address the practices of the respective Fund with respect to specific matters. The Committee system facilitates the timely and efficient consideration of matters </font></p>

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Times New Roman, Times, serif;">Each Nominating Committee and each Board as a whole also conduct an annual self-assessment of the performance of the Board, including consideration of the effectiveness of the Board's Committee structure. Each Committee is comprised entirely of Independent Trustees. Each Committee member is also "independent" within the meaning of the NYSE listing standards. Each Board reviews its structure regularly and believes that its leadership structure, including having a super-majority of Independent Trustees, coupled with an Independent Trustee as Chair, is appropriate because it allows the Board to exercise informed and independent judgment over the matters under its purview and it allocates areas of responsibility among the Committees and the full Board in a manner that enhances efficient and effective oversight.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Times New Roman, Times, serif;">During the fiscal year ended October 31, 2022, the AWP and AOD Boards held four meetings and the AGD Board held five meetings. During such fiscal year, based on available records, the Trustees serving during that fiscal year attended at least 75% of the aggregate number of meetings of the Boards and of the Committees of the Boards on which they served.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 2pt 0pt;"><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Times New Roman, Times, serif;"><i>Audit Committee</i></font></p>
<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Times New Roman, Times, serif;">Each Board has an Audit Committee consisting of all the Independent Trustees. In addition, the members of the Audit Committees are also "independent," as defined in the Funds' written Audit Committee Charters. The members of each Audit Committee are Ms. Maasbach, Mr. Malone and Mr. Sievwright. Mr. Sievwright serves as the Chair of each Audit Committee and is the Audit Committee Financial Expert.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Times New Roman, Times, serif;">The Audit Committees have adopted an Audit Committee Charter that provides that the Audit Committees shall annually select, retain or terminate, and recommend to the Audit Committees members of the Boards and ratified by the entire Boards, who are not "interested persons" (as that term is defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the 1940 Act), of the Funds for their ratification, the selection, retention or termination, the Funds' independent auditor and, in connection therewith, evaluate the terms of the engagements (including compensation of the auditor) and the qualifications and independence of the independent auditor, including whether the independent auditor provides any consulting, auditing or tax services to the Investment Adviser or Sub-Adviser, if applicable, and receive the independent auditor's specific representations as to its independence, delineating all relationships between the independent auditor and the Funds, consistent with the Independent Standards Board ("ISB") Standard No. 1. The Audit Committee Charter also provides that the Committees shall review in advance, and consider approval of, any and all proposals by Funds' management or the Investment Adviser that the Funds, Investment Adviser or their affiliated persons, employ the independent auditor to render "permissible non-audit services" to the Funds and to consider whether such services are consistent with the independent auditor's independence. The written Charters for the Audit Committees are available at the Funds' websites at <font style="text-decoration:underline">https://www.abrdnagd.com</font> (for AGD), <font style="text-decoration:underline">https://www.abrdnaod.com</font> (for AOD) and <font style="text-decoration:underline">https://www.abrdnawp.com</font> (for AWP). During the fiscal year ended October 31, 2022, each Audit Committee met 5 times.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Times New Roman, Times, serif;">Service providers to the Funds, primarily the Investment Adviser, have responsibility for the day-to-day management of the Funds, which includes responsibility for risk management. As an integral part of its responsibility for oversight of the Funds, the Boards oversee risk management of the Funds' investment program and business affairs.

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Times New Roman, Times, serif;">Each Board has a Nominating Committee consisting of all the Independent Trustees. The members of the Nominating Committee are Ms. Maasbach, Mr. Malone and Mr. Sievwright. Mr. Malone serves as the Chair of the Nominating Committees.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Times New Roman, Times, serif;">Each Nominating Committee is responsible for overseeing Board governance and related Trustee practices, including selecting and recommending candidates to fill vacancies on the Board. The Nominating Committees will consider Trustee candidates recommended by shareholders of the Funds. Recommendations for consideration by a Nominating Committee should be sent to the Chair of the Nominating Committee in writing together with the appropriate biographical information concerning each such recommended nominee. In addition, shareholders may themselves nominate individuals for election to the Boards for the Funds if they follow the advance notice provisions in the Funds' By-Laws, as more fully set forth below in the "ADDITIONAL INFORMATION&#x2014;Shareholder Proposals" section of this Joint Proxy Statement.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Times New Roman, Times, serif;">In identifying and evaluating nominees for Trustees, the Nominating Committees seek to ensure that the Boards possess, in the aggregate, the strategic, managerial and financial skills and experience necessary to fulfill its duties and to achieve its objectives, and also seeks to ensure that the Boards are comprised of trustees who have broad and diverse backgrounds. The Nominating Committees look at each nominee on a case-by-case basis. In looking at the qualification of each candidate to determine if his or her election would further the goals described above, each Nominating Committee takes into account all factors it considers appropriate, which may include strength of character, mature judgment, career specialization, relevant technical skills or financial acumen, diversity of viewpoint and industry knowledge. However, a Board believes that to be recommended as a nominee, whether by the Nominating Committees or at the suggestion of a shareholder, each candidate must: (1) display the highest personal and professional ethics, integrity and values; (2) have the ability to exercise sound business judgment; (3) be highly accomplished in his or her respective field; (4) have relevant expertise and experience; (5) be able to represent all shareholders and be committed to enhancing long-term shareholder value; and (6) have sufficient time available to devote to activities of the Board and enhance his or her knowledge of the Fund's business. The Nominating Committees met one time during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2022. The Board has adopted a written Charter for the Nominating Committee, which is available at the Funds' websites at <font style="text-decoration:underline">https://www.abrdnagd.com</font> (for AGD) <font style="text-decoration:underline">https://www.abrdnaod.com</font> (for AOD) and <font style="text-decoration:underline">https://www.abrdnawp.com</font> (for AWP).</font></p>

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Times New Roman, Times, serif;">Each Fund is subject to a number of risks, including, among others, investment, compliance, operational and valuation risks. Risk oversight forms part of each Board's general oversight of the respective Fund and is addressed as part of various Board and Committee activities. Each Board has adopted, and periodically reviews, policies and procedures designed to address these risks. Different processes, procedures and controls are employed with respect to different types of risks. Day-to-day risk management functions are subsumed within the responsibilities of the Funds' Investment Adviser, who carry out the Funds' investment management and business affairs and other service providers in connection with the services they provide to the Funds. The Investment Adviser and other service providers have their own, independent interest in risk management, and their policies and methods of risk management will depend on their functions and business models. As part of its regular oversight of each Fund, the respective Board, directly and/or through a Committee, interacts with and reviews reports from, among others, the Investment Adviser and each Fund's other service providers (including the Funds' transfer agent), the Funds' Chief Compliance Officer, the Funds' independent registered public accounting firm, legal counsel to the Funds, and internal auditors, as appropriate, relating to the operations of the Funds. Each Board also requires the Investment Adviser to report to the Board on other matters relating to risk management on a regular and as-needed basis. The Boards recognize that it may not be possible to identify all of the risks that may affect the Funds or to develop </font></p>

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Times New Roman, Times, serif;">At a meeting held on December 13, 2022, the Board of each Fund, including a majority of the Trustees who are not "interested persons," as defined under the 1940 Act, selected KPMG LLP ("KPMG") to act as the independent registered public accounting firm for each Fund for the fiscal year ending October 31, 2023. Representatives from KPMG are not expected to be present at the Meetings to make a statement or respond to questions from shareholders. If requested by any shareholder by two (2) business days before the Meetings, a representative of KPMG will be present by telephone at the Meetings to respond to appropriate questions and will have an opportunity to make a statement if he or she chooses to do so.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Times New Roman, Times, serif;">Each Fund's financial statements for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2022 were audited by KPMG. The Audit Committee of each Fund has reviewed and discussed the audited financial statements of the Fund with management of the Fund. The Audit Committee of each Fund has received the written disclosures and the letter from KPMG required by The Public Company Accounting Oversight Board ("PCAOB") Rule 3526 (PCAOB Rule 1, Communication with Audit Committees Concerning Independence), as may be modified or supplemented, and have discussed with KPMG its independence with respect to the Fund. The Funds know of no direct financial or material indirect financial interest of KPMG in the Funds. The Audit Committees have discussed with KPMG the matters required to be discussed by the applicable requirements of the PCAOB and the SEC. Based on the foregoing review and discussions, the Audit Committee of each Fund recommended to the respective Board that the audited financial statements of each Fund for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2022 be included in each Fund's most recent annual report filed with the SEC.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Times New Roman, Times, serif;">Any Rule 14a-8 shareholder proposal to be considered for inclusion in the Funds' proxy statement and form of proxy for the annual meetings of shareholders to be held in 2024 should be received by the Secretary of the Funds no later than December 17, 2023. There are additional requirements regarding proposals of shareholders, and a shareholder contemplating submission of a proposal for inclusion in the Funds' proxy materials is referred to Rule 14a-8 under the 1934 Act.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Times New Roman, Times, serif;">Non-Rule 14a-8 proposals of business to be considered by the Funds' shareholders may be made at an annual meeting of shareholders (1) by or at the direction of the Boards of Trustees or (2) by any shareholder of a Fund who was a shareholder of record from the time the shareholder gave notice as provided in the Funds' By-Laws to the time of the annual meeting, who is entitled to vote at the annual meeting on any such business and who has complied with the By-Laws. Pursuant to each Fund's By-Laws, for any such business to be properly brought before an annual meeting by a shareholder, the shareholder must have given timely notice thereof in writing to the Secretary of the Funds and such business must otherwise be a proper matter for action by the shareholders. To be timely, a shareholder's notice shall set forth all information required under a Fund's By-Laws and shall be delivered to the Secretary of the Fund at the principal executive office of the Fund neither earlier than 9:00 a.m., Eastern Time, on the 150th day nor later than 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on the 120th day before the first anniversary of the date of the proxy statement for the preceding year's annual meeting; provided, however, that in the event the date of the annual meeting is advanced or delayed by more than 30 days from the first anniversary of the date of the preceding year's annual meeting, or in the event that no annual meeting was held the preceding year, notice by the shareholder will be timely if so delivered not later than 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on the tenth day following the day on which public announcement of the date of such annual meeting is first made; the public announcement of a postponement or adjournment of an annual meeting shall not commence a new time period for the giving of a shareholder's notice as described above.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Times New Roman, Times, serif;">In accordance with Rule 14a-4(c), each Fund may exercise discretionary voting authority with respect to any shareholder proposals for the Annual Meetings not included in the proxy statement and form of proxy card which are not submitted to the Funds within the time-frame indicated above. Even if timely notice is received, a Fund may exercise discretionary voting authority in certain other circumstances permitted by Rule 14a-4(c) and SEC guidance related thereto. Discretionary voting authority is the ability to vote proxies that shareholders have executed and returned to a Fund on matters not specifically reflected on the form of proxy card.</font></p>
