The shift in management triggered the appointment of a new board of trustees, including Chair Todd Reit, Nancy Yao, C. William Maher, Gordon Baird, and Christian Pittard, who were confirmed by shareholders in June. Despite the change in oversight and branding, the fund’s fundamental investment policies and objectives remain unchanged. Day-to-day operations now fall under the purview of Aberdeen’s Global Fixed Income team, led by portfolio managers Bill Bellinzoni, Bill Hines, Anthony Merola, and Jonathan Mondillo. The fund continues to trade on the NYSE under its original CUSIP identifier.
