    The investment management industry is highly competitive, making growth difficult when it comes to attracting new clients. An alternative method of establishing a larger asset base is to grow the existing one through prudent investing.

    However, with the stock market being a volatile place, this often results in a lumpy bottom line that has introduced a lot of volatility to the ABDN share price. The cyclicality of this business makes it more suitable for investors who have a higher tolerance for risk.

    Yes. Imperial Brands shares pay a cash dividend at an average 140% payout ratio. This high payout ratio suggests that dividends may be unsustainable in the future. But this may also be a by-product of the lumpy bottom line.

    Abrdn shares pay out a dividend twice a year, in April and August.

    Abrdn shares are listed on the London Stock Exchange. They can be bought from any investment account that provides access to this exchange platform.
