What is this product?

Type

Ordinary shares in a closed-ended investment company registered in Scotland, with Investment Trust status, which is listed on the London Stock Exchange. Shares of abrdn Private Equity Opportunities Trust PLC (the "Company") are bought and sold via markets. At any time, the price you would pay to acquire a share will normally be higher than the price at which you could sell it. The price may be at a premium or discount to the net asset value of the Company.

Term

The Company does not have a fixed life but may may be wound up with shareholder approval, subject to compliance with relevant legal and regulatory requirements. abrdn Capital Partners LLP may not unilaterally terminate the Company.

Objective

The Company's investment objective is to achieve long-term total returns through holding a diversified portfolio of private equity funds and direct investments into private companies alongside private equity managers ("co-investments"), a majority of which will have a European focus. Private equity funds, in turn, make investments into private companies and the investment returns made by the Company are determined by the performance of these underlying investments. The Company's policy is to invest in approximately 50 'active' private equity fund investments which are selected to provide a broadly diversified portfolio by country, industry, sector, maturity and number of underlying investments. The Company may invest up to 20% of its total assets in co-investments. To maximise the proportion of invested assets it is the Company's policy to follow an over- commitment strategy by making fund commitments which exceed its available cash and committed credit facilities.

The Company has a borrowing facility which is used from time to time for short term working capital purposes rather than long term structural gearing.

This fund is subject to Article 6 of the Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation ("SFDR").

What are the risks and what could I get in return?

Risk Indicator

The risk indicator assumes you keep the product for 5 years. The actual risk can vary significantly if you sell it at an earlier stage. The value of investments and the income from them can go down as well as up, and you may get back less than you invested.

The summary risk indicator is a guide to the level of risk of this product compared to other products. It shows how likely it is that the product will lose money because of movements in the markets or because the Company is not able to pay you.

We have classified this Fund as 6 out of 7, which is the second-highest risk class. This rates the potential losses from future performance at a very low level, and poor market conditions are very unlikely to impact our capacity to pay you.

Further information on risks is detailed in the Company's annual report available in the literature library on www.slpet.co.uk/en/literature-library. This product does not include any protection from future market performance so you could lose some or all of your investment.

The Company borrows/ may borrow in order to purchase assets, and this may magnify gains or losses. Shares in the Company may trade at a discount to their Net Asset Value, which may adversely affect the value of your investment, particularly when you come to sell your shares.

Performance Scenarios

What you will get from this product depends on future market performance. Market developments in the future are uncertain and cannot be accurately predicted.

The unfavourable, moderate, and favourable scenarios shown are illustrations using the worst, average, and best performance of the product / a suitable benchmark over the last 10 years. The scenarios shown are illustrations based on results from the past and on certain assumptions. Markets could develop very differently in the future.

The figures shown include all the costs of the product itself, but may not include all the costs that you pay to your broker, adviser or distributor. The figures do not take into account your personal tax situation, which may also affect how much you get back.

The stress scenario shows what you might get back in extreme market circumstances.

The unfavourable scenario occurred for an investment between 2021 and 2022. The moderate scenario occurred for an investment between 2014 and 2019. The favourable scenario occurred for an investment between 2016 and 2021.

What happens if the Company is unable to pay out?

As a shareholder in the Company, you would not be able to make a claim to the Financial Services Compensation Scheme about the Company in the event that the Company is unable to pay dividends to you or if it were unable to pay any amounts due to you on the winding up of the Company.

What are the costs?

The person advising on or selling you this product may charge you other costs. If so, this person will provide you with information about these costs and how they affect your investment.

Costs over Time

The tables show the amounts that are taken from your investment to cover different types of costs. These amounts depend on how much you invest, how long you hold the product and how well the product does. The amounts shown here are illustrations based on an example investment amount and different possible investment periods.

We have assumed:

• In the first year you would get back the amount that you invested (0% annual return). For the other holding periods we have assumed the product performs as shown in the moderate scenario
• 10,000 GBP is invested.

• This illustrates how costs reduce your return each year over the holding period. For example it shows that if you exit at the recommended holding period your average return per year is projected to be 22.1% before costs and 15.00% after costs.
  We may share part of the costs with the person selling you the product to cover the services they provide to you. They will inform you of the amount.

How long should I hold it and can I take money out early?

Recommended holding period: 5 years

This product has no required minimum holding period but is designed for medium to long-term investment.
