Removal: abrdn Diversified Income and Growth plc

What happened

The Financial Conduct Authority removed abrdn Diversified Income and Growth plc's ordinary shares of 1p each from the Official List, effective 28/10/2026 at 08:00. The shares were listed under the closed-ended investment funds category with ISIN GB0001297562. The notice was issued by Market Oversight.

Confirmed

Global impact / market context

Removal from the Official List means the fund's shares can no longer be bought or sold through the main London listing, which can make them harder and slower to trade. Investors holding the shares must check how they can be traded elsewhere, such as another exchange.

Analyst inference

This removal narrows the pool of closed-ended investment funds on the Official List, which means fewer listed fund options for investors seeking diversified income. It may also affect index tracking and fund holdings that rely on official listing status for eligibility.

Analyst inference

What to watch

1. The removal takes effect on 28/10/2026 at 08:00, so the shares leave the Official List from that moment. Holders should check with their broker before then. Confirmed
2. Investors should confirm whether the shares will trade on another recognised exchange after removal, and whether their broker will continue to support buying and selling those shares. Proposed
3. Watch for changes in the share price and trading volume around the removal date, because reduced listing access can widen price gaps and make selling harder for holders. Analyst inference
