JOINT PROXY STATEMENT
For the Annual Meetings of Shareholders
to be held on September 29, 2026
This Joint Proxy Statement (hereinafter referred to as the “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 the 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 September 29, 2026, at [10:00 a.m.] Eastern Time and at any adjournments or postponements thereof. A Notice of Annual Meeting of Shareholders and a proxy card (the “Proxy Card”) accompany this Proxy Statement. This Proxy Statement is first being sent to shareholders on or about August [ ], 2026. It is anticipated that each Fund will hold its Meeting simultaneously with each other Fund. Shareholders of each Fund will vote separately on each item as noted below.
The purpose of each Meeting is to consider and act upon the following proposals (each, a “Proposal”) as applicable for each Fund and to consider and act upon such other matters as may properly come before each Meeting or any adjournments or postponements thereof:
Proposal 1: Election of Trustees for each Fund as detailed below
| a. | MGF, MIN, MMT – one Trustee, Gordon Baird, to be elected by common shareholders of each Fund to serve until the 2029 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, or until his successor is duly elected and qualifies. |
| b: | MFM |
| i. | MFM – one Trustee, Gordon Baird, to be elected by common and preferred shareholders of MFM voting together as a single class, to serve until the 2029 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, or until his successor is duly elected and qualifies; and |
| ii. | MFM (Preferred Shares only) – two Preferred Share Trustees, Nancy Yao and C. William Maher, to be elected by preferred shareholders only voting as a separate class, to serve until the 2027 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, or until their successors are duly elected and qualify. |
Proposal 2: MMT only: Adoption of a Fundamental Investment Policy
To adopt as a fundamental policy that, under normal circumstances, the Fund shall maintain an investment portfolio such that the average credit quality of its portfolio securities is investment grade.
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 “FOR” 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 the Meeting or any adjournments or postponements thereof. Any Proxy Card may be revoked at any time prior to its exercise by submitting a properly executed, subsequently dated Proxy Card to, or giving written notice to, Megan Kennedy, Secretary of the Funds, 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 their Proxy Card. Shareholders do not have dissenters’ rights of appraisal in connection with any of the matters to be voted on by the shareholders at each Meeting.
The presence in person or by proxy of holders of 30% of the shares of a Fund entitled to vote at the Meeting shall constitute a quorum. For purposes of electing the two Preferred Share Trustees of MFM, the presence in person or by proxy of holders of 30% of the preferred shares entitled to vote at the Meeting shall constitute a quorum.
With respect to Proposal 1a and 1b (other than the MFM Preferred Shares Trustees), the election of a Trustee to the Board requires the affirmative vote of a plurality of shares present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote for the election of such Trustee at a meeting at which a quorum is present. With respect to Proposal 1b, the election of MFM Preferred Share Trustees requires the affirmative vote of a plurality of MFM’s outstanding preferred shares present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote for the election of the MFM Preferred Share Trustees at a meeting at which a quorum is present. Under a plurality vote, the nominees who receive the highest number of votes up to the number of Trustees or MFM Preferred Share Trustees to be elected will be elected even if they receive less than a majority of votes cast. For purposes of the election of Trustees and the MFM Preferred Share Trustees, abstentions and broker non-votes (i.e., proxies from brokers or nominees indicating that they have not received instructions from the beneficial owners regarding an item for which the brokers or nominees do not have discretionary power to vote) 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 Trustees (except to the extent they cause a quorum to be present).
With respect to Proposal 2 for MMT, approval will require the affirmative vote of a “majority of the outstanding voting securities” of MMT as defined in the 1940 Act. This means the lesser of (1) 67% or more of the shares of MMT present at the Annual Meeting if more than 50% of the outstanding shares of MMT are present or represented by proxy, or (2) more than 50% of the outstanding shares of MMT. Under a “majority of outstanding voting securities” vote for MMT, broker non-votes, abstentions and withholding of authority to vote for Proposal 2 will have the effect of a vote against this proposal.
All properly executed proxies received prior to a Meeting will be voted at the Meeting or any adjournments or postponements thereof in accordance with the instructions marked thereon. Proxies received prior to a Meeting on which no vote is indicated with respect to a proposal will be voted “FOR” the proposal.
In the event that a quorum is not present or if sufficient votes are not received consistent with a Board’s recommendation regarding a proposal, management may propose an adjournment or adjournments of a Meeting. Any adjournment would require a vote in favor of the adjournment representing 30 percent of the voting power of the outstanding shares entitled to vote present in person or by proxy on the applicable proposal. The persons named as proxies on the Proxy Card may vote (or withhold their votes) in their discretion on any proposed adjournment. If notice of any such adjourned meeting is required, it shall be given to each shareholder of record entitled to vote at the adjourned meeting. At any adjourned meeting, each Fund may transact any business that might have been transacted at the Meeting. Any proposals for which sufficient votes in accordance with the Trustees’ recommendations have been received by the time of the Meeting may be acted upon and considered final regardless of whether the Meeting is adjourned to permit additional solicitation with respect to any other proposal.
We will admit to each Meeting (1) all shareholders of record on August 3, 2026 (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.
Each Board has fixed the close of business on August 3, 2026 as the Record Date for the determination of shareholders entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Meeting and at any adjournment or postponement thereof. Shareholders on the Record Date for the Fund will be entitled to one vote for each share held for the Meeting on each Proposal on which the shareholder is entitled to vote. Each fractional share is entitled to a proportional fractional vote.
As of the Record Date, the following shares of each Fund were issued and outstanding.
| MGF – | ☐ shares |
| MIN – | ☐ shares |
| MMT – | ☐ shares |
| MFM - | ☐ shares |
| ☐ preferred shares |

Proposals 1a and 1b: Election of Trustees
Shareholders of each Fund are being asked to elect Gordon A. Baird as a Trustee of each Fund, and preferred shareholders of MFM are being asked to elect Nancy Yao and C. William Maher as Preferred Share Trustees of the Fund. Each Trustee currently serves as a Trustee of each Fund. The Preferred Share Trustees currently serve as the Preferred Share Trustees of MFM. Trustees who are deemed “interested persons” (as that term is defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”)) of the Fund or the Fund’s investment adviser, abrdn Inc. (the “Investment Adviser”), are referred to in this Proxy Statement as “Interested Trustees.” Trustees who are not interested persons, as described above, are referred to in this Proxy Statement as “Independent Trustees.”
The nominees have indicated an intention to serve if elected and have consented to be named in this Proxy Statement.
The Board knows of no reason why a nominee will be unable to serve, but in the event of any such inability, the proxies received will be voted for such substituted nominee as the Board may recommend.
It is the intention of the persons named on the Proxy Cards to vote “FOR” the Proposals.
The following tables set forth certain information regarding the nominees for election to the Boards of the Funds, Trustees whose terms of office continue beyond the Meetings, and the principal officers of the Funds.

*** Deemed to be an Interested Trustee because of his position held with an affiliate of the Investment Adviser.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE TRUSTEES
Each Board believes that each Trustee’s experience, qualifications, attributes and skills on an individual basis and in combination with those of other Trustees lead to the conclusion that each Trustee should serve in such capacity. Among the attributes or skills common to all Trustees are their ability to review critically and to evaluate, question and discuss information provided to them, to interact effectively with the other Trustees, the Fund’s investment adviser, the administrator and other service providers, counsel and independent registered public accounting firm, and to exercise effective and independent business judgment in the performance of their duties as Trustees. Each Trustee’s ability to perform the duties of a trustee effectively has been attained and enhanced through the Trustee’s education, professional training and other life experiences, such as business, consulting or public service positions and through experience from service as a member of each Fund’s Board, public companies, or non- profit entities or other organizations.
A Trustee’s ability to perform his or her duties effectively may have been attained through the Trustee’s executive, business, consulting, and/or legal positions; experience from service as a Trustee of the Fund and other funds/portfolios in the Aberdeen fund complex, other investment funds, public companies, or non-profit entities or other organizations; educational background or professional training or practice; and/or other life experiences. In this regard, the following specific experience, qualifications, attributes and/or skills apply as to each Trustee in addition to the information set forth in the table above: Ms. Yao, financial and research analysis experience in and covering the Asia region and experience in world affairs; Mr. Reit, banking and asset management experience and experience as a board member; Mr. Maher, experience as an officer in the financial services industry, including his experience as a chief financial officer and chief executive officer; Mr. Baird, business and leadership experience and experience as a board member; and Mr. Pittard, his experience as head of closed-end funds for an affiliate of the Investment Adviser. Each Trustee also has experience as a trustee or director of other funds with the Aberdeen Fund Complex.
Each Board believes that the significance of each Trustee’s experience, qualifications, attributes or skills is an individual matter (meaning that experience important for one Trustee may not have the same value for another) and that these factors are best evaluated at the Board level, with no single Trustee, or particular factor, being indicative of Board effectiveness. In its periodic self-assessment of the effectiveness of the Board, each Board considers the complementary individual skills and experience of the individual Trustees in the broader context of the Board’s overall composition so that the Board, as a body, possesses the appropriate (and appropriately diverse) skills and experience to oversee the business of the Fund. References to the qualifications, attributes and skills of Trustees are presented pursuant to disclosure requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and do not constitute holding out the Board or any Trustee as having any special expertise or experience, and shall not impose any greater responsibility or liability on any such person or on the Board by reason thereof.
OFFICERS

As of [July 31, 2026], each Fund’s Trustees and officers, in the aggregate, owned less than 1% of that Fund’s outstanding equity securities. As of [July 31, 2026], none of the Independent Trustees or their immediate family members owned any shares of the Investment Adviser or of any person (other than a registered investment company) directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the Investment Adviser.
Mr. Goodson and Ms. Ferrari serve as executive officers of the Funds. As of [July 31, 2026], Mr. Goodson and Ms. Ferrari did not own shares of the Fund.
BOARD AND COMMITTEE STRUCTURE
Under the provisions of each Fund’s Declaration of Trust, the Fund’s Board is divided into three classes with each class having a term of threeyears. The term for each Board Member is presented in the Board chart above. Each Board is currently composed of four Independent Trustees and one Interested Trustee, Christian Pittard. For MFM, two of the four Independent Trustees serve as Preferred Share Trustees.
Each Board has appointed Mr. Reit, 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 the Board, generally.
Each Board holds regular quarterly meetings throughout each year to consider and address matters involving the 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.
Each Board has established a committee structure that includes an Audit Committee and a Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee (each discussed in more detail below, and each referred to herein as a “Committee”) to assist the Board in the oversight and direction of the business affairs of the relevant Fund, and from time to time may establish informal ad hoc committees or working groups to review and address the practices of the Fund with respect to specific matters. The Committee system facilitates the timely and efficient consideration of matters by the Trustees, and facilitates effective oversight of compliance with legal and regulatory requirements and of a Fund’s activities and associated risks. The standing Committees currently conduct an annual review of their charters, which includes a review of their responsibilities and operations. The Nominating and Corporate Governance 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 New York Stock Exchange (“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.
Audit Committee
Each Board has an Audit Committee. The members of each Audit Committee are all “independent,” as defined in the Fund’s written Audit Committee Charter. The members of each Audit Committee are all of the Independent Trustees. Mr. Maher serves as the Chair of each Audit Committee and each Board has determined that Mr. Maher is an “audit committee financial expert,” as defined in Section 401(h) of Regulation S-K.
Each Audit Committee oversees the scope of the Fund’s audit, the Fund’s accounting and financial reporting policies and practices and its internal controls. Each Audit Committee assists the Board in fulfilling their responsibilities for oversight of the integrity of the Fund’s accounting, auditing and financial reporting practices, the qualifications and independence of the Fund’s independent registered public accounting firm and the Fund’s compliance with legal and regulatory requirements. Each Audit Committee approves, and recommends to the Board for ratification, the selection, appointment, retention or termination of the Fund’s independent registered public accounting firm and approves the compensation of the independent registered public accounting firm. Each Audit Committee also approves all audit and permissible non-audit services provided to the Fund by the independent registered public accounting firm and all permissible non-audit services provided by the Fund’s independent registered public accounting firm to the Adviser and service providers if the engagement relates directly to the Fund’s operations and financial reporting. Each Audit Committee is also responsible for monitoring the valuation of portfolio securities and other investments.
Each Audit Committee has adopted an Audit Committee Charter, the current copy of which is available on each Fund’s website at https://www.AberdeenMGF.com (MGF), https://www.AberdeenMIN.com (MIN), https://www.AberdeenMMT.com (MMT) and https://www.AberdeenMFM.com (MFM), respectively.
Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee; Consideration of Potential Trustee Nominees
Each Fund has established a Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee (the “Nominating Committee”) to promote the effective participation of qualified individuals on the Board, committees of the Board, and to review, evaluate and enhance the effectiveness of the Board in its role in governing the Fund and overseeing the management of the Fund so that the interests of shareholders of the Fund are well-served. In pursuit of this purpose, each Nominating Committee’s responsibilities include the identification and nomination of new Trustees and the coordination of the annual self-assessment of the performance of the Board and the Fund’s committee structure to ensure the effective functioning of the Board. The members of each Nominating Committee are all of the Independent Trustees.
Each Nominating Committee makes nominations to fill vacancies for trustees of the Fund and submits such nominations to the full Board. No trustee may be elected by a Board or nominated by the Board for election by shareholders unless nominated by the Committee. In nominating candidates, each Nominating Committee will seek to identify candidates who can bring to the Board the skills, experience and judgment necessary to address the issues trustees of investment companies, and the Fund in particular, may confront in fulfilling their duties to fund shareholders. Each Nominating Committee may, in its discretion, establish specific, minimum qualifications (including skills) that must be met by candidates and may take into account a wide variety of factors in considering prospective trustee candidates.
Each Nominating Committee shall consider Trustee candidates from such sources it deems appropriate, including candidates recommended by shareholders of the Fund. In order for each Nominating Committee to consider shareholder recommendations, the candidate must (i) satisfy any minimum qualifications of the Fund for its trustees, including all qualifications provided under the Nominating Committee’s Charter and in the Fund’s organizational documents; (ii) not be an “interested persons” of the Fund as that term is defined in the 1940 Act; and (iii) must be “independent” as defined in the NYSE listing standards.
All shareholder recommendations must be submitted in writing to the Secretary of the Fund by the deadline for submission of any shareholder proposals which would be included in the Fund’s proxy statement for the next annual meeting of the Fund. Each shareholder or shareholder groups submitting proposed candidates must meet the requirements stated in the Nominating Committee’s charter and in the Fund’s organizational documents in order to recommend a candidate.
Each Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee has adopted a Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee Charter, a copy of which is available on the Fund’s website at https://www.AberdeenMGF.com (MGF), https://www.AberdeenMIN.com (MIN), https://www.AberdeenMMT.com (MMT) and https://www.AberdeenMFM.com (MFM), respectively.
Any shareholder may obtain a copy of a Fund’s Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust, as may be amended from time to time, or By-Laws by calling the Investor Relations department of abrdn Inc. toll-free at 1-800-522-5465, or by sending an e-mail to abrdn Inc. at Investor.Relations@aberdeenplc.com.
Board Oversight of Risk Management
Each Fund is subject to a number of risks, including, among others, investment, compliance, operational and valuation risks. Risk oversight forms part of the Board’s general oversight of the 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 Investment Adviser, who carries out the Fund’s investment advisory and business affairs, and also by other service providers in connection with the services they provide to the Fund. Each of the Investment Adviser, the Fund’s administrator 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 the Funds, each Board, directly and/or through a Committee, interacts with and reviews reports from, among others, the Investment Adviser, the Fund’s other service providers (including the Fund’s transfer agent), the Fund’s Chief Compliance Officer, the Fund’s independent registered public accounting firm, legal counsel to the Fund, and internal auditors, as appropriate, relating to the operations of each Fund. 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. Each Board recognizes that it may not be possible to identify all of the risks that may affect the Fund or to develop processes and controls to eliminate or mitigate their occurrence or effects. Each Board may, at any time and in its discretion, change the manner in which it conducts risk oversight.
Board and Committee Meetings in the Previous Fiscal Year
Each of the Trustees joined each Board effective prior to the open of business on June 8, 2026 (MFM) or June 22, 2026 (MMT) or after the close of business on July 2, 2026 (MGF and MIN) and were not Trustees during the previous fiscal year. As noted above, the current Board for each Fund has an Audit Committee and a Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee.
During each Fund’s fiscal year ended October 31, 2025 (MFM, MIN and MMT) or November 30, 2025 (MGF) (collectively, the “2025 Fiscal Year Ends”), each Board consisted of different trustees who are no longer on that Board (each, a “Predecessor Board”). During the 2025 Fiscal Year Ends, each Predecessor Board held 6 meetings. The Predecessor Board had more committees than the current Board and information on the number of Predecessor Board committee meetings is included in the chart below. During the 2025 Fiscal Year Ends, each Predecessor Board member attended at least 75% of the aggregate number of meetings of the Predecessor Board and of Committees of the Board on which he or she served.
| Committee | Number
of Meetings in 2025 Fiscal Year Ends |
| Audit Committee | 9 |
| Compliance Committee | 4 |
| Contracts Review Committee | 4 |
| Nomination and Compensation Committee | 2 |
| Portfolio Trading and Marketing Review Committee | 4 |
| Pricing Committee | 4 |
| Services Contracts Committee | 4 |
Communications with the Board of Trustees
Shareholders who wish to communicate with Trustees with respect to matters relating to a Fund may address their written correspondence to the Fund’s Board as a whole or to individual Trustees c/o abrdn Inc. (the “Administrator”), the Fund’s administrator, at 1900 Market Street, Suite 200, Philadelphia, PA 19103, or via e-mail to the Trustee(s) c/o abrdn Inc. at Investor.Relations@aberdeenplc.com.
Trustee Attendance at Annual Meetings of Shareholders
Each Fund has not established a policy with respect to Trustee attendance at annual meetings of shareholders. No Predecessor Board members attended the Funds’ 2025 Annual Meeting of Shareholders.
REPORTS OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEES; INFORMATION REGARDING THE FUNDS’ INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRMS
Independent Registered Public Accounting Firms
[Deloitte & Touche LLP (“Deloitte”) served as the independent registered public accounting firm for MFM, MIN and MGF for the fiscal years ending October 31, 2025 (MFM and MIN) and November 30, 2025 (MGF). Ernst & Young LLP (“E&Y”, and together with Deloitte, each, a “Prior Accounting Firm”) served as the independent registered public accounting firm for MMT for the fiscal year ending October 31, 2025. On July 6, 2026 and July 8, 2026, respectively, Deloitte and E&Y each resigned due to independence matters relating to the recent change in each Fund’s investment adviser. On June 9, 2026, MFM’s Audit Committee selected and the Board approved the engagement of KPMG LLP (“KPMG”), 1601 Market Street, Philadelphia, PA 19103, as the independent registered public accounting firm for the Fund for the fiscal year ending October 31, 2026, effective upon the resignation of Deloitte. The Boards of Trustees and each respective Audit Committee for each of MGF, MIN and MMT are expected to select a new firm to serve as the Fund’s independent registered public accounting firm for its current fiscal year, which has not occurred as of the date of this proxy statement.
Representatives from KPMG for MFM are not expected to be present at the Meeting to make a statement or respond to questions from shareholders. If requested by any shareholder by two (2) business days before the Meeting for MFM, a representative from KPMG will be present by telephone at the Meeting to respond to appropriate questions and will have an opportunity to make a statement if he or she chooses to do so.
The Audit Committee of MFM has received from KPMG the written disclosures and the letter required by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”) regarding KPMG’s communications with the Audit Committee concerning independence and has discussed with KPMG its independence as it relates to the fiscal year ending October 31, 2026.
Each audit committee during each Fund’s fiscal years ended October 31, 2024, and October 31, 2025 (November 30, 2024 and November 30, 2025, respectively, for MGF), each of which consisted of different committee members who are no longer trustees (each, a “Former Audit Committee”), reviewed and discussed with Fund management and representatives from the respective Prior Accounting Firm the audited financial statements for each Fund’s fiscal year ended October 31, 2025 (November 30, 2025 for MGF). Each Former Audit Committee discussed with the applicable Prior Accounting Firm its judgments as to the quality, not just the acceptability, of the Fund’s accounting principles and such other matters required to be discussed with the Audit Committee by PCAOB Auditing Standard No. 1301: Communications with Audit Committees (formerly Auditing Standard No. 16). Each Former Audit Committee also received the written disclosures and the letter from the respective Prior Accounting Firm required by PCAOB Rule 3526 and discussed with representatives of the respective Prior Accounting Firm its independence. Based on the foregoing discussions with Fund management and the respective Prior Accounting Firm, each Former Audit Committee unanimously recommended to the respective Predecessor Board, which consisted of different trustees who are no longer on the Board, that the audited financial statements for the Fund’s fiscal year ended October 31, 2025 (November 30, 2025 for MGF), be included in the Fund’s annual report to shareholders for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2025 (November 30, 2025 for MGF).
The reports of each Prior Accounting Firm on the respective Fund’s financial statements as of and for the two most recent fiscal years ended October 31, 2024, and October 31, 2025 (November 30, 2024 and November 30, 2025, respectively, for MGF), did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainties, audit scope or accounting principles.
During each Fund’s two most recent fiscal years and their respective subsequent interim period through June 5, 2026 (MFM), June 18, 2026 (MMT) or July 2, 2026 (MGF and MIN), there were no disagreements between the Fund and the respective Prior Accounting Firm on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial disclosure or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of the respective Prior Accounting Firm, would have caused the respective Prior Accounting Firm to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in its reports on the financial statements of the Fund for such years.
During each Fund’s two most recent fiscal years and their respective subsequent interim period through June 5, 2026 (MFM), June 18, 2026 (MMT) or July 2, 2026 (MGF and MIN), there were no “reportable events” (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K under the 1934 Act.
Each Fund has provided its respective Prior Accounting Firm with a copy of the foregoing disclosures in response to Item 304(a) of Regulation S-K prior to filing it with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and has requested that each respective Prior Accounting Firm furnish the Fund with a letter addressed to the SEC stating whether it agrees with the statements made by the Fund in response to Item 304(a) of Regulation S-K. A copy of the respective letter from each Prior Accounting Firm will be filed as an exhibit to each Fund’s next Form N-CSR.]
Audit and Other Fees
Each Audit Committee must approve all audit and non-audit services provided to a Fund by its independent auditors, as well as non-audit services provided by their independent auditors to the Investment Adviser and its affiliates that provide ongoing services to the Fund if such non-audit services relate to the operations or financial reporting of the Fund.
Each Former Audit Committee reviewed any audit or non-audit services to determine whether they are appropriate and permissible under applicable law. Each Former Audit Committee adopted policies and procedures to provide a framework for the Audit Committee’s consideration of audit and non-audit services by the independent auditors.
Each Fund and “Covered Entities” (each Fund’s prior investment advisor and any entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with the prior investment advisor that provided ongoing services to that Fund) were billed the amounts listed below by the independent auditors during the Fund’s last two fiscal years. Based on available records, none of the fees in the table below were approved by the Former Audit Committee pursuant to the de minimis exception from the pre-approval requirement in Rule 2-01(c)(7)(i)(C) of Regulation S-X.

In connection with its selection of each Prior Accounting Firm, each respective Former Audit Committee considered its Prior Accounting Firm’s provision of non-audit services to the prior investment advisor and other service providers under common control with the prior investment advisor that were not required to be pre-approved pursuant to Rule 2-01(c)(7)(ii) of Regulation S-X. Each Former Audit Committee determined that the independent auditor’s provision of these services was compatible with maintaining the respective Prior Accounting Firm’s independence.
COMPENSATION
The Trustees each began their service on June 8, 2026 (MFM), June 22, 2026 (MMT) or after market close on July 2, 2026 (MGF and MIN), and did not receive any compensation from the Funds during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2025 (MFM, MMT and MIN) or November 30, 2025 (MGF). The following table sets forth information regarding estimated compensation of Trustees from each Fund and from the Aberdeen Fund Complex from close of business on June 8, 2026 (MFM), June 22, 2026 (MMT) or after market close on July 2, 2026 (MGF and MIN) through October 31, 2026 (each Fund’s next fiscal year end). All officers of the Funds are employees of and are compensated by the Investment Adviser or its affiliates. None of the Funds’ executive officers or Trustees who are also officers or directors of the Investment Adviser will receive any compensation from the Funds or any fund in the Aberdeen Fund Complex for such period. The Funds do not have any bonus, profit sharing, pension or retirement plans.

Delinquent Section 16(a) Reports
Section 16(a) of the 1934 Act and Section 30(h) of the 1940 Act, as applied to each Fund, require each Fund’s officers and Trustees, certain officers and directors of the Investment Adviser, affiliates thereof, and persons who beneficially own more than 10% of the Fund’s outstanding securities (collectively, the “Reporting Persons”) to electronically file reports of ownership of the Fund’s securities and changes in such ownership with the SEC and the NYSE.
Based solely on each Fund’s review of such forms filed on EDGAR, to the knowledge of each Fund, during the fiscal period ended October 31, 2025 (November 30, 2025 for MGF), each Fund’s Reporting Persons timely filed all reports they were required to file under Section 16(a).
Relationship of Trustees or Nominees with the Investment Adviser and Administrator
abrdn Inc. serves as the Investment Adviser to each Fund pursuant to a management agreement dated as of June 8, 2026 (MFM), June 22, 2026 (MMT) or July 6, 2026 (MGF and MIN). The Investment Adviser is a Delaware corporation with its registered offices located at 1900 Market Street, Suite 200, Philadelphia, PA 19103. abrdn Inc. also provides administrative services to the Fund under an administration agreement. abrdn Inc. is an indirect subsidiary of Aberdeen Group plc, which has its registered offices at 1 George Street, Edinburgh, EH2 2LL, Scotland. Mr. Goodson and Ms. Sitar, who serve as officers of the Funds, are also directors and/or officers of abrdn Inc.
EACH OF MGF’S, MIN’S, AND MMT’S BOARD, INCLUDING THE INDEPENDENT TRUSTEES, UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT THE SHAREHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” PROPOSAL 1A. MFM’S BOARD , INCLUDING THE INDEPENDENT TRUSTEES, UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT THE SHAREHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” PROPOSAL 1B.
Proposal 2: Adoption of a Fundamental Investment Policy (MMT only)
Shareholders of MMT are being asked to approve the adoption of a fundamental policy that, under normal circumstances, the Fund shall maintain an investment portfolio such that the average credit quality of its portfolio securities is investment grade.
Legal Background
The 1940 Act requires registered investment companies, such as the Fund, to adopt “fundamental” investment policies governing certain specified investment practices, including, among others, policies relating to borrowing and the issuance of senior securities. Investment companies may also voluntarily designate additional policies relating to other investment practices as fundamental.
Once adopted, fundamental investment policies may be changed only with the approval of the holders of a majority of the Fund’s outstanding voting securities (which for this purpose and under the 1940 Act, means the lesser of (1) 67% of the voting shares present in person or by proxy at a meeting at which more than 50% of the outstanding voting shares are present in person or by proxy, or (2) more than 50% of the outstanding voting shares). Therefore, if this Proposal is approved, the new fundamental policy could only be changed with subsequent shareholder approval as set forth above.
New Fundamental Policy
In connection with a previously-announced transaction, and with the approval by shareholders of each respective fund, several MFS closed-end funds were reorganized into the Fund before the open of regular business on June 22, 2026, and abrdn Inc. began serving as the Fund’s investment adviser. Currently, the Fund’s existing fundamental investment policies do not limit the Fund to investing in fixed income securities of a specific credit quality, and the Fund may invest up to 100% of its assets in below investment grade (commonly referred to as “high yield” or “junk”) instruments. However, as was previously disclosed in proxy solicitation materials filed with the SEC on February 23, 2026, abrdn Inc. intends to manage the Fund to maintain an average investment grade credit quality portfolio and noted that it would present a proposal to change the policy to a fundamental policy. If this policy is approved as a fundamental policy, it would require a shareholder vote to change abrdn Inc.’s stated investment approach that the Fund, under normal circumstances, maintain an investment portfolio with an average credit quality qualifying as investment grade. For purposes of this policy, “investment grade” means that, at the time of investment, a security has a credit rating of at least Baa3 by Moody’s Investor Service, Inc (“Moody’s”) or BBB- by Standard & Poor’s Financial Services LLC (“S&P”), BBB- by Fitch Ratings, Inc. (“Fitch”), or is unrated but judged by abrdn Inc., to be of comparable quality. In the event that a security receives different ratings from different nationally recognized statistical rating organizations (“NRSROs”), abrdn Inc. will treat the security as being rated in the highest rating category received from an NRSRO.
If this Proposal is approved, the Fund may continue to invest in below investment grade quality debt instruments to some extent and, therefore, would continue to be subject to Credit Risk as a principal risk. As disclosed therein, below investment grade quality debt instruments can involve a substantially greater risk of default or can already be in default, and their values can decline significantly over short periods of time. Below investment grade quality debt instruments are regarded as having predominantly speculative characteristics with respect to capacity to pay interest and principal. Below investment grade quality debt instruments tend to be more sensitive to adverse news about the issuer, or the market or economy in general, than higher quality debt instruments. The market for below investment grade quality debt instruments can be less liquid, especially during periods of recession or general market decline.
If this Proposal is not approved, the Fund’s existing fundamental investment policies will remain unchanged, and abrdn Inc. will continue to manage the Fund in accordance with its current investment policies, which include maintaining an average investment grade portfolio on a non-fundamental (and therefore changeable without shareholder approval) basis.
MMT’s BOARD, INCLUDING THE INDEPENDENT TRUSTEES, UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT THE SHAREHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” PROPOSAL 2.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Expenses. The expense of preparation, printing and mailing of the enclosed Proxy Card and accompanying Notice and Proxy Statement will be borne by the Funds. Each Fund will reimburse banks, brokers and others for their reasonable expenses in forwarding proxy solicitation material to the beneficial owners of the shares of the Fund. In order to obtain the necessary quorum at the Meeting, supplementary solicitation may be made by mail, telephone, telegraph or personal interview. Such solicitation may be conducted by, among others, officers, Trustees and employees of the Funds, the Investment Adviser or the Administrator.
EQ Fund Services (“EQ”) has been retained to assist in the solicitation of proxies and will receive an estimated fee of $[2,500] per Fund and be reimbursed for its reasonable expenses, which are estimated to be $[825-$1,350] for each Fund.
Solicitation and Voting of Proxies. Solicitation of proxies is being made primarily by the mailing of this Proxy Statement with its enclosures on or about August [ ], 2026. As mentioned above, EQ has been engaged to assist in the solicitation of proxies. As the date of the Meeting approaches, certain shareholders of the Fund may receive a call from a representative of EQ, if the Fund has not yet received their vote. Authorization to permit EQ to execute proxies may be obtained by telephonic instructions from shareholders of the Fund. Proxies that are obtained telephonically will be recorded in accordance with procedures that management of the Fund believes are reasonably designed to ensure that the identity of the shareholder casting the vote is accurately determined and that the voting instructions of the shareholder are accurately determined.
Beneficial Owners. Based upon filings made with the SEC, as of [July 31], 2026, the following table shows certain information concerning persons who may be deemed beneficial owners of 5% or more of a class of shares of each Fund.

2027 Annual Meeting Timing and Shareholder Proposals.
The 2027 Annual Meeting of Shareholders of each Fund is expected to occur on or about May 26, 2027, which will be more than 30 days from the one-year anniversary of the 2026 Annual Meeting being held on September 29, 2026. Shareholder proposals are subject to certain requirements under applicable laws and as set forth in the Funds’ By-Laws and Declaration of Trust, which should be reviewed prior to presenting a proposal.
Shareholder proposals submitted for inclusion in the Fund’s proxy materials under Rule 14a-8 of the 1934 Act must be received by the Secretary of the Funds at 1900 Market Street, Suite 200, Philadelphia, PA 19103 by December 7, 2026, which deadline is a reasonable time before the Fund begins to print and mail its proxy materials for the 2027 Annual Meeting of Shareholders. The submission by a shareholder of a proposal for inclusion in the proxy materials does not guarantee that it will be included.
A shareholder who wishes to make a proposal at the 2027 Annual Meeting of Shareholders without including the proposal in a Fund’s Proxy Statement must ensure that the proposal is received by the Secretary of the Funds at 1900 Market Street, Suite 200, Philadelphia, PA 19103 in good order and in compliance with all applicable legal requirements as well as the requirements set forth in the Funds’ By-Laws and Declaration of Trust no later than 45 days prior to the 2027 meeting date, expected to occur on or about May 26, 2027.
SHAREHOLDERS WHO DO NOT EXPECT TO ATTEND THE MEETING AND WHO WISH TO HAVE THEIR SHARES VOTED ARE REQUESTED TO DATE AND SIGN THE ENCLOSED PROXY CARD AND RETURN IT IN THE ENCLOSED ENVELOPE. NO POSTAGE IS REQUIRED IF MAILED IN THE UNITED STATES.
Delivery of Proxy Statement
Unless the Funds have received contrary instructions from shareholders, only one copy of this Proxy Statement may be mailed to each household, even if more than one person in the household is a shareholder of record. If a shareholder needs an additional copy of this Proxy Statement, please contact the Fund at 1-800-522-5465. If any shareholder does not want the mailing of this Proxy Statement to be combined with those for other members of its household, please contact the Funds in writing at: 1900 Market Street, Suite 200, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19103 or call the Funds at 1-800-522-5465.
