The Fund is organized as a Delaware statutory trust and offers its commonshares of beneficial interest (“Shares”) to investors on a continuous basis at the Fund’s net asset value (“NAV”) per share plus any applicable sales load.The Fund’s primary investment objective is to generate high current income, with a secondary objective to generate capital appreciation.

Performance Highlights The Fund aims to provide shareholders with a stable distribution rate each month. Since the Fund’s inception through December 31, 2025, the Fund haspaid aggregate distributions to shareholders of $3.34 per share, which equals a strong 13.3% annualized distribution rate.2We have been able togenerate these distributions due to the resilient cash flows generated from the Fund’s CLO equity portfolio and related credit investments.
