ABS Long/Short Strategies Fund
Monitor the tender results after the November 27, 2026 expiration to gauge shareholder demand for liquidity. The prior quarter's tender received zero participation, suggesting limited redemption pressure. Any material participation would reduce AUM and could trigger pro-rata scaling.
Executive Summary
ABS Long/Short Strategies Fund (the Fund) launched an issuer tender offer to repurchase up to 25% of its net asset value (NAV) from all shareholders at NAV per share as of the Valuation Date (December 31, 2026, or later if extended). The offer runs from October 28, 2026 to November 27, 2026, and is funded from cash on hand, portfolio asset sales, or possible borrowings (none currently authorized). The purpose is to provide liquidity to shareholders in a closed-end fund with no secondary trading market; the prior September 30, 2026 tender offer received zero tenders.
Key Facts
- Fund offers to purchase up to 25% of NAV (calculated prior to tendered shares) of Founders' Shares at NAV per share as of the Valuation Date.
- As of September 1, 2026, there were approximately 2,503,828 outstanding Founders' Shares and NAV of approximately $264,926,905.
- NAV per share as of August 31, 2026 was $105.8088.
- Offer expires at 11:59 PM ET on November 27, 2026, unless extended.
- Payment for fully-tendered shares: at least 95% of unaudited NAV within 65 days of acceptance, with a final payment (no interest) within 2 business days of the next annual audit completion.

Financial Impact

Risk Factors
- Liquidation of portfolio assets to fund repurchases may cause losses or increased expenses if done earlier than planned.
- Reduced AUM may increase expense ratios for remaining shareholders due to fixed costs.
- Oversubscription would result in pro-rata purchases, limiting liquidity for tendering shareholders.
