I have 2 different websites with identical sub domains, example -

invest.abc.com and invest.xyz.com, now both of these sub domains are ranking for different terms, so for 1 term only one sub domain is ranking while for other search term, another sub domain is ranking. However, I just want to keep invest.xyz.com in Google index and get rid of invest.abc.com, also to add invest.abc.com has some external links as well as being linked from other internal sites. Same with the invest.xyz.com.

So, what should be the strategy here to get rid of the duplicate subdomain which is invest.abc.com. Few suggestions comes to min -

Noindex and nofollow?
301 redirect - to abc.com or to invest.xyz.com?
Canonicals?

You have two options:

301 redirects: Redirect each page on one subdomain to the corresponding page on the other.
Canonical URL tags.

Either would meet your objective of getting search engine traffic to one of the two and preserving rankings and inbound links.

Deleting on of the subdomains would leave its inbound links hanging and not help the other subdomain.

Noindex and nofollow would also prevent link juice from being passed the way you want it.
