The US-reported view
The sections below draw on US regulatory filings — SEC Form ADV and Form D — and on US investors' own disclosures. They set out abrdn's US-reported slice: the funds, service providers, domiciles and activity visible in US filings, not its worldwide business.
1. US-SEC private funds
This page reports $49.9bn of gross asset value across 124 private funds that abrdn reports on SEC Form ADV, filings through 2024. Its firm-wide figures are in the Assets summary at the top of this page, measured on a different basis.
Worldwide, 468 registered fund vehicles are on file under its management companies, on the worldwide entity register (read 2026-10-05) — these are legal fund entities, not the share classes or products a manager markets.

KPMG audits 106 of the 124 abrdn funds that name an auditor on Form ADV Schedule D, filings through 2024 — more than any other firm. State Street administers 48 of the 122 that name an administrator, on the same filings.

| Fund administrator | State Street (48 of 122); BNP Paribas Securities Services, Luxembourg Branch (16 of 122); Gen II (14 of 122) — and 16 more |
