If you mean, "If it looks to good to be true, then it's not", at a forward yield of 6.8%, according to digitallook, for such an outfit, I'd say so.
Ian.

Re: Aberdeen Finals
Further to this, here's an item from our previous gaff on this;
How safe are 7% yields at Aberdeen Asset Management plc ...
"Shares of Aberdeen Asset Management (LSE: ADN) rose by 3% this morning, after the fund management firm left its dividend unchanged, and reported sales and profits slightly ahead of expectations.
Like BP (LSE: BP), Aberdeen is one of a handful of popular big cap stocks that currently offers a dividend yield of almost 7%. Both firms are generally seen as reliable dividend stocks, but weak earnings mean that dividend cover is seriously stretched.
Another tough year in 2017 could force Aberdeen and BP to consider a dividend cut. In this article I’ll take a closer look at each firm’s latest figures, and their outlooks for the year"

Re: Aberdeen Finals
Perhaps one of their Board members is called Micawber.
We hold, or at least my wife does.
Whose idea was that?
Hmmm.

Re: Aberdeen Finals
A bit worrying as these are in the WyfHYP - so trouble means losing brownie points.
My theory was that my "Asian bits" would over time do well - but that was before a whole stack of problems which turned the general outlook bad.
Still, these things can reverse, and when they do it is usually without warning. Better to sit tight for the moment.
If the dividend is cut that would be naturally the best time to top up capital-wise, but then we would all moan about the yield being too low
