Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance
Looking Back on the Markets – April 30, 2025
While market sentiment remained optimistic heading into 2025, volatility was brewing under the surface. Rising geopolitical tensions, expanding fiscal deficits, sustained inflationary pressures, and looming tariffs hinted at a potentially more complex environment ahead, even as broad market consensus leaned toward a surge of animal spirits carrying markets higher. What few investors anticipated was just how disruptive one of those undercurrents — in particular tariffs — would become. As the final days of the first quarter approached, the market’s tone shifted. Issuance slowed, deals began to stall, and attention turned to the anticipated reveal of “Liberation Day.” At the same time, we continued to grapple with the zealous yearn for yield, compressed spreads, and a persistent lack of supply. The deepening bifurcation between high-quality and storied credits was becoming harder to ignore.
Throughout the second half of 2024, we highlighted what we called a “non-obvious” market with dispersion quietly taking hold beneath the surface. Some of this reflected the reality of ensuing rolling recessions, where different sectors, for example consumer goods or media, faced pressure at different times, creating an uneven but growing gap between the haves and have-nots. High-quality BBs were tightening toward historical tights, while CCC-rated credits began to drift wider, largely under the radar. Separately, we would be remiss not to acknowledge the exuberance across equity markets. Equity valuations were elevated, and the S&P 500 was trading around 22x forward earnings by Q1’25, which is considered expensive by historical standards. Against that backdrop, a market shakeup was not inconceivable — it could be argued it was overdue.
Then came the twist: headlines turned to tariffs — specifically those on China — directly impacting widely used consumer goods. The pressure that had been building in the markets found its release in rates. The 10-year U.S. Treasury yield surged toward its biggest five-day increase since 1982, followed closely by a sharp sell-off in the 30-year. Yields spiked, liquidity thinned, and what began as scattered signals became something closer to flashing warning lights.
As we reflect on the first four months of 2025, the moment carries a sense of déjà vu — a slight echo of March 2020. However, the difference this time is in the catalyst, structure, and response. Markets were truly shocked during the COVID-19 pandemic. The entire world froze with little line of sight to a resolution, a shock that impacted all. Today’s volatility is not the same. This is a policy-induced reaction, and while the mark-to-market volatility has been acute, including 10% intra-day swings not seen since the Great Financial Crisis (“GFC”), the structural backdrop is different. We have muscle memory and a playbook for this, and while risks remain, there is clarity regarding what needs to happen next. We are not navigating a global shutdown, we are adjusting to a global risk recalibration. Nothing is linear on the way down. As such, we are positioning thoughtfully to reflect on the recalibrated risk environment.
Traded Credit Markets
This year began on a familiar note: investor confidence was back, inflation was easing, rate cuts were expected, persistent supply-demand imbalances continued to underpin technical strength, and credit markets were seemingly ready to run. However, the narrative started to shift. Beneath the surface of strong equity performance and robust gross loan volume of $477 billion[1] globally in Q1, the foundation began to shift. Loan volumes were supported in part by a three-year high in M&A; however, M&A was still relatively low, especially compared to post-election expectations. In the U.S., repricings continued to dominate, accounting for over 50% of activity, alongside nearly 20% from refinancings. Europe posted its strongest start to the year since the GFC. Globally, new-money loan issuance (excluding repricings and refinancings) totaled $230 billion,[1] marking the fastest start to a year since 2021.
CLO issuance also opened with momentum, extending the pace set in 2024. Q1 global volume came in at $66.8 billion[2] across 135 deals pushing AAA spreads to the tightest levels of the CLO 2.0 era (110-115bps). Yet the strength at the surface masked growing underlying fatigue. As we highlighted throughout 2024, the technical backdrop was already stretched, and by late Q1, new issue AAA spreads widened meaningfully, moving from the tights to effectively no-bid for several weeks before settling in the +130–135bps context, which is still tight on a relative basis. Secondary trades widened even more, and for the first time since early 2022, we observed a persistent disconnect between primary and secondary AAAs, a divergence that, as a rule, rarely lasts.

As investor sentiment faded and growth expectations cooled, the markets reminded everyone how quickly the tone can change. By March, U.S. loan volume had dropped to just $47.7 billion[3] the second-lowest monthly total in 15 months. The repricing engine stalled, investor demand softened, and volatility returned. Several deals were sidelined or forced to flex wider to cross the finish line. Leveraged loans still managed to post modest Q1 gains with the U.S. returning +0.48% and Europe +0.99%[4] as of March 31, 2025. However, those gains began to retreat as the post-Liberation Day equity sell-off took hold. The immediate flight to quality, combined with gapping bid prices in single B and CCC names, dragged the loan market into negative territory and reignited growing dispersion.
High yield bonds also posted a gain in Q1 (+0.95%), supported by falling treasury yields, but with a clear delineation between higher and lower quality cohorts[5]. BB rated bonds finished Q1 up +1.45% while CCC rated bonds fell -0.67%. High yield was then effectively flat in April with year to date gains remaining at +0.95% as the BB cohort posted a modest gain of +0.17% while the CCC cohort lost another -0.62% on the month. Year to date gains[6] for U.S. leveraged loans finished April at +1.05%, lagging European loans slightly which are up +1.16% on the year.
Against this volatile backdrop, one dynamic continues to stand out: carry remains a key stabilizer, especially during more uncertain times, by muting mark-to-market losses and reinforcing credit’s resilience relative to public equities. It also validates a theme we have remained focused on over the past several quarters: the enduring power of compounding income. In an environment where price action can be volatile and uneven, consistent, stable income remains a critical anchor.
Fund Description & Performance
KKR Income Opportunities Fund (“KIO” or, the “Fund”) is a diversified, closed-end fund that trades on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “KIO.” The Fund’s primary investment objective is to seek a high level of current income with a secondary objective of capital appreciation. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objectives by employing a dynamic strategy of investing in a targeted portfolio of loans and fixed-income instruments (including derivatives) of US and non-US issuers and implementing hedging strategies in order to seek to achieve attractive risk-adjusted returns. Under normal market conditions, KIO will invest at least 80% of its Managed Assets in loans and fixed-income instruments or other instruments, including derivative instruments, with similar economic characteristics. The Fund expects to invest primarily in first and second lien secured loans, unsecured loans and high-yield corporate debt instruments of varying maturities.
Trailing Fund returns have lagged somewhat as market volatility has risen and the Fund has gone from trading at a premium to trading at a discount to net asset value (“NAV”) during the six months ended April 30, 2025. In market terms, KIO generated total return, inclusive of dividends, of -10.03% return during the six months ended April 30, 2025. On a NAV basis, the strategy has delivered total returns, net of fees and inclusive of dividends, of -2.51% during the six months ended April 30, 2025. Over the last 6 months, KIO has gone from trading at a premium to “NAV” of 2.57%, to a discount of -5.50% as of April 30, 2025[7].
Diving deeper into NAV performance drivers, positions within the technology & electronics, telecommunications, and services sectors were the top contributors year to date as of April 30, 2025. On an asset class basis, exposures to bank loans and high yield bonds have driven similarly positive performance contributions, followed by structured credit while convertible bonds have detracted. From a rating perspective, performance was led by CC & below rated assets followed by BBB-rated, B-rated, and BB-rated, while CCC-rated and not rated assets have detracted year to date.
As of April 30, 2025, the Fund’s portfolio is comprised of the following:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Investments in securities | Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | Total |
Leveraged Loans | — | % | 43.22 | % | 3.25 | % | 46.47 | % |

Disclosures
The Bank of America Merrill Lynch High Yield Master II Index is a market-value weighted index of below investment grade US dollar-denominated corporate bonds publicly issued in the US domestic market. “Yankee” bonds (debt of foreign issuers issued in the US domestic market) are included in the Bank of America Merrill Lynch High Yield Master II Index provided that the issuer is domiciled in a country having investment grade foreign currency long-term debt rating. Qualifying bonds must have maturities of one year or more, a fixed coupon schedule and minimum outstanding of US$100.0 million. In addition, issues having a credit rating lower than BBB3, but not in default, are also included.
The Morningstar LSTA US Leveraged Loan Index is a market value-weighted index designed to measure the performance of the US leveraged loan market based upon market weightings, spreads and interest payments. The index was rolled out in 2000 and it was back-loaded with four years of data dating to 1997. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.
Past performance is not an indication of future results. Returns represent past performance and reflect changes in share prices, the reinvestment of all dividends and capital gains, expense limitations and the effects of compounding. The prospectus contains more complete information on the investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses of the investment company, which investors should read and consider carefully before investing. The returns shown do not reflect taxes a shareholder would pay on distributions or redemptions. Total investment return and principal value of your investment will fluctuate, and your shares, when sold, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance data quoted. An investment in the Fund involves risk, including the risk of loss of principal.

Must be preceded or accompanied by a prospectus.
An imbalance in supply and demand in the income market may result in valuation uncertainties and greater volatility, less liquidity, widening credit spreads and a lack of price transparency in the market. Investments in income securities may be affected by changes in the creditworthiness of the issuer and are subject to the risk of non–payment of principal and interest. The value of income securities also may decline because of real or perceived concerns about the issuer’s ability to make principal and interest payments. Borrowing to increase investments (leverage) will exaggerate the effect of any increase or decrease in the value of Fund investments. Investments rated below investment grade (typically referred to as “junk”) are generally subject to greater price volatility and illiquidity than higher rated investments. As interest rates rise, the value of certain income investments is likely to decline. Senior loans are subject to prepayment risk. Investments in foreign instruments or currencies can involve greater risk and volatility than US investments because of adverse market economic, political, regulatory, geopolitical or other conditions. Changes in the value of investments entered for hedging purposes may not match those of the position being hedged. The Fund may engage in other investment practices that may involve additional risks.

The Fund is diversified for purposes of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). KKR Credit Advisors (US) LLC serves as the Fund’s investment adviser (the “Adviser”).
2.Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation — The accompanying financial statements are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and are stated in United States (“U.S.”) dollars. The Fund is an investment company following accounting and reporting guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards (“FASB”) Codification Topic 946, Financial Services — Investment Companies. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in these financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Valuation of Investments — The Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of the Fund has adopted valuation policies and procedures to ensure investments are valued in a manner consistent with GAAP as required by the 1940 Act. The Board designated the Adviser as the valuation designee to perform fair valuations pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Valuation Designee”). The Valuation Designee has primary responsibility for implementing the Fund’s valuation policies and procedures.
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Where available, fair value is based on observable market prices or parameters, or derived from such prices or parameters. Where observable prices or inputs are not available, valuation models are applied. These valuation techniques involve some level of management estimation and judgment, the degree of which is dependent on the price transparency for the instruments or market and the instruments’ complexity for disclosure purposes.
Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities are categorized based upon the level of judgment associated with the inputs used to measure their value. Hierarchical levels, as defined under GAAP, are directly related to the amount of subjectivity associated with the inputs to fair valuations of these assets and liabilities, and are as follows:
Level 1 — Inputs are unadjusted, quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date.
Level 2 — Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability.
Level 3 — Inputs are unobservable for the asset or liability, and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability.
A significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability is an indication that transactions or quoted prices may not be representative of fair value because in such market conditions there may be increased instances of transactions that are not orderly. In those circumstances, further analysis of transactions or quoted prices is needed, and a significant adjustment to the transactions or quoted prices may be necessary to estimate fair value.
The availability of observable inputs can vary depending on the financial asset or liability and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including, for example, the type of product, whether the product is new, whether the product is

| |
traded on an active exchange or in the secondary market, and the current market condition. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised by the Fund in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3. In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Fund’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and consideration of factors specific to the asset. The variability of the observable inputs affected by the factors described above may cause transfers between Levels 1, 2 and/or 3.
Many financial assets and liabilities have bid and ask prices that can be observed in the marketplace. Bid prices reflect the highest price that the Fund and others are willing to pay for an asset. Ask prices represent the lowest price that the Fund and others are willing to accept for an asset. For financial assets and liabilities whose inputs are based on bid-ask prices, the Fund does not require that fair value always be a predetermined point in the bid-ask range. The Fund’s policy is to allow for mid-market pricing and adjust to the point within the bid-ask range that meets the Fund’s best estimate of fair value.
Depending on the relative liquidity in the markets for certain assets, the Fund may transfer assets to Level 3 if it determines that observable quoted prices, obtained directly or indirectly, are not available.
Investments are generally valued based on quotations from third party pricing services, unless such a quotation is unavailable or is determined to be unreliable or inadequately representing the fair value of the particular assets. In that case, valuations are based on either valuation data obtained from one or more other third party pricing sources, including broker dealers selected by the Adviser, or will reflect the Valuation Committee’s good faith determination of fair value based on other factors considered relevant. For assets classified as Level 3, valuations are based on various factors including financial and operating data of the company, company specific developments, market valuations of comparable companies and model projections.
For the six months ended April 30, 2025, there were no significant changes to the Fund’s fair value methodologies.
Investment Transactions — Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date, the date the order to buy or sell is executed. Interest income, including payment-in-kind (“PIK”) interest income, is accrued as earned. PIK interest income is capitalized as additional principal, or collected in cash, on the interest payment dates. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Discounts are accreted and premiums are amortized using the effective interest method over the holding period of the investment. Paydown gains and losses on asset-backed securities are recorded as an adjustment to interest income. Realized gains and losses are calculated on the specific identified cost basis.
Cash and Cash Equivalents — Cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, cash held in banks and highly liquid investments with original maturities of three or fewer months. Cash equivalents consist solely of money market funds with financial institutions. As of April 30, 2025, the Fund was invested in the Morgan Stanley Institutional Liquidity Funds Government Portfolio — Institutional Class.
Foreign Currency Transactions — The books and records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. All investments denominated in foreign currency are converted to the U.S. dollar using prevailing exchange rates at the end of the reporting period. Income, expenses, gains and losses on investments denominated in foreign currency are converted to the U.S. dollar using the prevailing exchange rates on the dates when the transactions occurred.
The Fund bifurcates that portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments and from the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held.
Distributions to Shareholders — Distributions are declared and paid monthly and distributable net realized capital gains, if any, are declared and distributed at least annually. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex- dividend date.

| |
Income Taxes — The Fund has elected to be treated and has qualified, and intends to continue to qualify in each taxable year, as a “regulated investment company” under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and in conformity with the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010. The Fund will not be subject to federal income tax to the extent the Fund satisfies the requirements under Section 851 of the Internal Revenue Code, including distributing all of its investment company taxable income and capital gains to its shareholders based on the Fund’s fiscal year end of October 31.
To avoid imposition of a 4.0% excise tax on undistributed income applicable to regulated investment companies, the Fund intends to declare each year as dividends in each calendar year at least 98.0% of its net investment income (earned during the calendar year) and 98.2% of its net realized capital gains (earned during the year ended October 31) plus undistributed amounts, if any, from prior years.
The Fund evaluates tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Fund’s tax returns to determine whether it is “more-likely-than-not” (i.e., greater than 50.0%) that each tax position will be sustained upon examination by a taxing authority based on the technical merits of the position. Tax positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold are recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. Management has analyzed the Fund’s tax positions and has concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions for the open tax years (2021-2024). However, management’s conclusions regarding tax positions taken may be subject to review and adjustment at a later date based on factors including, but not limited to, examination by tax authorities, ongoing analysis of and changes to tax laws, regulations and interpretations thereof.
As of April 30, 2025, the Fund did not have a liability for any unrecognized tax benefits. The Fund recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the Statement of Operations. During the six months ended April 30, 2025, the Fund did not incur any interest or penalties.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements — In November 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280) (“ASU 2023-07”). ASU 2023-07 improves reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. ASU 2023-07 enhances interim disclosure requirements, clarifies circumstances in which an entity can disclose multiple segment measures of profit or loss, provides new segment disclosure requirements for entities with a single reportable segment and requires disclosure of the title of the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) and an explanation of how the CODM uses the reported measure of segment profit or loss to assess segment performance and allocate resources. The Fund has adopted ASU 2023-07 and concluded that the adoption of this standard impacted financial statement disclosures only and did not affect the Fund’s financial position or results of operations.
3.Risk Considerations
The Fund invests mainly in leveraged loans, high yield securities, asset backed securities, common stocks and preferred stocks. These investments may involve certain risks, including, but not limited to, those described below:
Global Economic and Market Conditions — The Fund is materially affected by market, economic and political conditions and events, such as natural disasters, epidemics and pandemics, wars, supply chain disruptions, economic sanctions, globally and in the jurisdictions and sectors in which it invests or operates, including factors affecting interest rates, the availability of credit, currency exchange rates, trade barriers, trade disputes and tariffs. For example, the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, the conflict between Hamas and Israel, rapid interest rate changes, heightened inflation, supply chain disruptions, geopolitical risks, economic sanctions and volatility in the banking and financial sectors have disrupted global economies and financial markets, and their prolonged economic impact is uncertain. Market, economic and political conditions and events are outside the Adviser’s control and could adversely affect the Fund’s operations and performance and the liquidity and value of the Fund’s investments and reduce the ability of the Fund to make attractive new investments.
Market Discount Risk — The price of the Fund’s common shares of beneficial interest will fluctuate with market conditions and other factors. Shares of closed-end management investment companies frequently trade at a discount from their net asset value, which may increase the risk of loss.
| | | | | | | | |
| Income Opportunities Fund | April 30, 2025 (Unaudited) |
| |
Leverage Risk — Leverage is a speculative technique that may expose the Fund to greater risk and increased costs. When leverage is used, the net asset value and market price of the Fund’s shares and the Fund’s investment return will likely be more volatile.
Market Risk — Bond markets rise and fall daily. As with any investment with performance tied to these markets, the value of an investment in the Fund will fluctuate, which means that shareholders could lose money.
Interest Rate Risk — Interest rates will rise and fall over time. During periods when interest rates are low, the Fund’s yield and total return also may be low. Changes in interest rates also may affect the Fund’s share price and a sharp rise in interest rates could cause the Fund’s share price to fall. The longer the Fund’s duration, the more sensitive to interest rate movements its share price is likely to be.
Credit Risk — The Fund is subject to the risk that a decline in the credit quality of an investment could cause the Fund to lose money or underperform. The Fund could lose money if the issuer or guarantor of an investment fails to make timely principal or interest payments or otherwise honor its obligations.
Liquidity Risk — A particular investment may be difficult to purchase or sell. The Fund may be unable to sell illiquid securities at an advantageous time or price.
Prepayment and Extension Risk — The Fund’s investments are subject to the risk that the investments may be paid off earlier or later than expected. Either situation could cause the Fund to hold investments paying lower than market rates of interest, which could hurt the Fund’s yield or share price.
High Yield Risk — High yield securities and unrated securities of similar credit quality (sometimes called junk bonds) that the Fund may invest in are subject to greater levels of credit and liquidity risks. High yield securities are considered primarily speculative with respect to the issuer’s continuing ability to make principal and interest payments.
Foreign Investment Risk — The Fund’s investments in securities of foreign issuers may involve certain risks that are greater than those associated with investments in securities of U.S. issuers. These include risks of adverse changes in foreign economic, political, regulatory and other conditions; changes in currency exchange rates (the currencies will decline in value relative to the U.S. dollar or, in the case of hedging positions, the U.S. dollar will decline in value relative to the currency being hedged) or exchange control regulations (including limitations on currency movements and exchanges); differing accounting, auditing, financial reporting and legal standards and practices; differing securities market structures; and higher transaction costs. These risks may be heightened in connection with investments in emerging markets.
Issuer Risk — The value of securities may decline for a number of reasons that directly relate to the issuer, such as its financial strength, management performance, financial leverage and reduced demand for the issuer’s goods and services, as well as the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer and the value of its assets.
4.Agreements
Investment Advisory Agreement — The Adviser provides day-to-day portfolio management services to the Fund and has discretion to purchase and sell investments in accordance with the Fund’s objectives, policies, and restrictions. For the services it provides to the Fund, the Adviser receives an annual fee, payable monthly by the Fund, in an amount equal to 1.1% of the average daily value of the Fund’s Managed Assets (the “Investment Advisory Fee”). Beginning February 7, 2025 and through February 6, 2026, the Adviser has agreed to temporarily reduce its Investment Advisory Fee to 0.99%. “Managed Assets” means the total assets of the Fund (including any assets attributable to borrowings for investment purposes) minus the sum of the Fund’s accrued liabilities (other than liabilities representing borrowings for investment purposes).
During periods when the Fund is using leverage, the Investment Advisory Fee paid to the Adviser will be higher than if the Fund does not use leverage because the Investment Advisory Fee paid is calculated based on the Fund’s Managed Assets, which includes the assets purchased through leverage.
| | | | | | | | |
| Income Opportunities Fund | April 30, 2025 (Unaudited) |
| |
During the six months ended April 30, 2025, the Adviser earned an Investment Advisory Fee of $3.5 million.
Administrator, Custodian and Transfer Agent — U.S. Bancorp Fund Services, LLC (“Fund Services” or “Administrator”), doing business as U.S. Bank Global Fund Services, serves as the Fund’s administrator pursuant to an administration agreement under which the Administrator provides administrative and accounting services.
U.S. Bank N.A. (the “Custodian”) serves as the Fund’s custodian pursuant to a custody agreement. The Custodian is an affiliate of Fund Services.
Fund Services serves as the Fund’s transfer agent pursuant to a transfer agency agreement.
Deferred Trustees’ Compensation — The Fund has a Deferred Trustees’ Compensation plan (the “Plan”) that allows the Independent Trustees to defer compensation to a future payment period. The compensation is invested in shares of the Fund. The value of a participating Independent Trustee’s deferral account is based on the shares of deferred amounts as designated by the participating Independent Trustees. Changes in the value of the Independent Trustees’ deferral account are included in the Statement of Operations. The accrued obligations under the Plan, including unrealized appreciation (depreciation), are included on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
Other — Certain officers of the Fund are also officers of the Adviser. Such officers are not paid by the Fund for serving as officers of the Fund.

The following table presents additional information about valuation techniques and inputs used for investments that are measured at fair value and categorized within Level 3 as of April 30, 2025:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Financial Asset | Fair Value (in thousands) | Valuation Technique(1) | Unobservable Inputs(2) | Range (Weighted Average)(3) | Impact to Valuation from an Increase in Input |
| | | | | |
Leveraged Loans | $ | 25,163 | | Yield Analysis | Yield | 11.7% - 15.0% (13.7%) | Decrease |
| | Discount Margin | 3.2% | Decrease |
| | | EBITDA Multiple | 3.0x - 14.0x (11.9x) | Increase |
| | Market Comparables | EBITDA Multiple | 5.0x - 12.5x (7.6x) | Increase |
Asset Backed Securities | $ | 70,867 | | Yield Analysis | Yield | 1.0% - 9.9% (7.1%) | Decrease |
| Discounted Cash Flows | Probability of Default | 2.0% | Decrease |
| | | Constant Prepayment Rate (4) | 20.0% | Increase |
Equity & Other Investments | $ | 10,251 | | Market Comparables | LTM EBITDA | 3.0x - 6.4x (5.7x) | Increase |
| | FWD EBITDA | 12.5x | Increase |
| | Black-Scholes | Risk Free Rate | 3.9% | Decrease |
| | | Volatility | 40.0% | Increase |
| | Probability-Weighted Expected Return Method | Yield | 4.0% | Decrease |
(1) For the assets that have more than one valuation technique, the Fund may rely on the techniques individually or in aggregate based on a weight ascribed to each one ranging from 0.0%-100.0%. When determining the weighting ascribed to each valuation methodology, the Fund considers, among other factors, the availability of direct market comparables, the applicability of a discounted cash flow analysis and the expected hold period and manner of realization for the investment. These factors can result in different weightings among the investments and in certain instances, may result in up to a 100.0% weighting to a single methodology.
(2)The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Fund’s assets and liabilities may include the last twelve months (“LTM”) EBITDA multiple, weighted average cost of capital, discount margin, probability of default, loss severity and constant prepayment rate. In determining certain of these inputs, management evaluates a variety of factors including economic, industry and market trends and developments, market valuations of comparable companies, and company specific developments including potential exit strategies and realization opportunities. Significant increases or decreases in any of these inputs in isolation could result in significantly lower or higher fair value measurement.
(3)Weighted average amounts are based on the estimated fair values.
(4)An increase in the constant prepayment rate would decrease the fair value of a security trading above par and increase the fair value of a security trading below par. Weighted average amounts are based on the estimated fair values.
6.Investment Transactions
The cost of investments purchased and the proceeds from the sale of investments, other than short-term investments, for the six months ended April 30, 2025 were as follows (in thousands):
| | | | | |
Purchases | $ | 555,431 | |
Sales | $ | 364,716 | |
The Fund purchased and sold $0.2 million of U.S. Government securities during the six months ended April 30, 2025.
7.Commitments and Contingencies
The Fund may enter into certain credit agreements, of which all or a portion may be unfunded. The Fund will maintain sufficient liquidity to fund these commitments at the borrower’s discretion. As of April 30, 2025, total unfunded commitments on these credit agreements were $0.3 million and the cumulative unrealized losses on these unfunded commitments were less than $0.1 million.

Under the Fund’s organizational documents, its officers and Trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Fund. In the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations that provide general indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum liability exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as future claims that have not yet occurred may be made against the Fund. However, based on experience, management expects the risk of loss to be remote.
8.Federal Income Taxes
The timing and characterization of certain income, capital gains, and return of capital distributions are determined annually in accordance with federal tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. As a result, the net investment income and net realized losses on investment transactions for a reporting period may differ significantly from distributions during such period. These book to tax differences may be temporary or permanent in nature.
As of October 31, 2024, the Fund’s most recent fiscal year end, the following permanent differences have been reclassified (to)/from the following accounts (in thousands):

April 30, 2025* | $ | 23,129 | | $ | 23,129 | |
October 31, 2024 | 39,549 | | 39,549 | |
*The final tax character of any distribution declared during 2025 will be determined in January 2026 and reported to shareholders on IRS Form 1099-Div in accordance with federal income tax regulations.
As of October 31, 2024, the components of accumulated losses on a tax basis for the Fund are as follows (in thousands):

9.Credit Facility
In October 2019, the Fund entered into a credit agreement (the “State Street Credit Facility”) with State Street Bank and Trust Company (“State Street”). The State Street Credit Facility provides for loans to be made in U.S. dollars and certain foreign currencies to an aggregate amount of $160.0 million, with an “accordion” feature that allowed the Fund, under certain circumstances, to increase the size of the facility to a maximum of $225.0 million. On February 7, 2025, the State Street Credit Facility was amended to increase the size of the facility to $250.0 million. The Fund may reduce or terminate the commitments under the State Street Credit Facility with three business days’ notice. State Street is required to provide the Fund with 270 days’ notice prior to terminating the State Street Credit Facility.
The State Street Credit Facility bears interest on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate and a spread of 0.75% or 0.85%, increasing to 1.00% beginning February 7, 2025. An additional spread adjustment of 0.12%-0.33% is applied to borrowings denominated in the British pound. The Fund also pays a commitment fee on any unused commitment amounts between 0.15% and 0.25%, depending on utilization levels. The State Street Credit Facility contains certain covenants that require the maintenance of ratios throughout the borrowing period. As of April 30, 2025, the Fund was in compliance with the terms of the State Street Credit Facility. The carrying value of the State Street Credit Facility approximates fair value due to variable interest rates that periodically reset to market rates. The fair value was determined using Level 2 inputs in the fair value hierarchy.
The components of interest expense, average interest rates (i.e., base interest rate in effect plus the spread), and average borrowings for the Fund’s credit facility for the six months ended April 30, 2025 were as follows (in thousands):
| | | | | |
Stated interest expense | $ | 3,502 | |
Unused commitment fees | 48 | |
Amortization of deferred financing costs | 5 | |
Total interest expense | $ | 3,555 | |
Weighted average interest rate | 4.48 | % |
Average borrowings | $ | 157,646 | |
10. Mandatory Redeemable Preferred Shares
On October 15, 2019, the Fund issued 10-year mandatory redeemable preferred shares (the “MRPS”). The Fund authorized and issued 2.0 million MRPS with a total liquidation value of $50.0 million. The final redemption date of the MRPS is October 31, 2029. The Fund makes quarterly dividend payments on the MRPS at an annual dividend rate of 3.81%. The mandatory redemption feature results in the MRPS being treated as debt of the Fund under GAAP. Consequently, the liquidation preference of the MRPS are recorded as a liability on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, net of deferred offering costs. The estimated fair value of the MRPS is $46.4 million as of April 30, 2025. This fair value is based on Level 2 inputs under the fair value hierarchy.
Offering costs incurred in connection with the issuance of the MRPS have been recorded, and are being deferred and amortized through the final redemption date of the MRPS. The amortization of these costs is included in preferred shares interest expense in the Statement of Operations.

11. Shareholder Transactions
On February 7, 2025, the Fund completed its acquisition of Insight Select Income Fund’s (“INSI”) assets, which qualified as a tax-free reorganization under Section 368 of the Internal Revenue Code. INSI shareholders received shares of the Fund based on the closing net asset values of each fund on February 6, 2025. INSI and the Fund’s net asset value per share were $17.62 and $13.08, respectively, which resulted in an exchange ratio of 1.34709 shares of the Fund issued for each share of INSI. The Fund paid $9.2 million to INSI shareholders that elected to receive cash in lieu of the Fund’s shares. Post transaction, the Fund’s net asset value and shares outstanding increased by $179.5 million and 13.7 million, respectively. The acquisition was accounted for as an asset acquisition and the value of the acquisition was measured based on the fair value of the net assets acquired in accordance with ASC 805-50, Business Combinations-Related Issues. Transaction costs of $0.3 million were capitalized into the cost of the acquired assets. The cost basis of the investments received from INSI was carried forward to align ongoing reporting of the Fund’s realized and unrealized gains and losses with amounts distributable to shareholders for tax purposes. The acquired assets included $4.1 million of unrealized depreciation on investments.
12. Segment Reporting
The Fund operates through a single operating and reporting segment with a principal objective of generating a high level of current income, with a secondary object of capital appreciation. The Fund’s President acts as the Fund’s CODM and is responsible for assessing performance and allocating resources with respect to the Fund. The CODM has concluded that the Fund operates as a single operating segment because the Fund has a single investment strategy, as disclosed in its prospectus, against which the CODM assesses the Fund’s performance. In addition to other metrics, the CODM uses net increase/decrease in net assets resulting from operations as a key metric to assess the Fund’s performance against its benchmark. As the Fund’s investment operations comprise a single reporting segment, the segment assets are the same assets that are reported in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, and significant segment expenses are the same as those listed on the Statement of Operations.
