1. Organization
Carlyle Tactical Private Credit Fund (the “Fund”) (prior to November 4, 2019, the Fund was named OFI Carlyle Private Credit Fund) was organized as a statutory trust in the State of Delaware on December 13, 2017. The Fund is a non-diversified, closed-end management investment company, registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), that has elected to operate as an interval fund. The Fund engages in a continuous offering of shares and will offer to make quarterly repurchases of shares at net asset value.
Prior to October 24, 2019, the Fund’s investment adviser was OC Private Capital, LLC (“OC Private Capital”), a joint venture between an affiliate of Invesco Ltd. ("Invesco") and Carlyle Investment Management L.L.C. (“Carlyle”), and had entered into an investment advisory agreement with the Fund. OC Private Capital had, in turn, entered into a sub-advisory agreement with Carlyle Global Credit Investment Management L.L.C. (“CGCIM”)(a wholly owned subsidiary of Carlyle), whereby OC Private Capital oversaw the allocation of the Fund’s assets to its underlying credit strategies, and CGCIM sourced and made investment decisions within each strategy.
Effective October 24, 2019, CGCIM became the Fund’s investment adviser. As the investment adviser (the "Adviser"), CGCIM oversees the allocation of the Fund’s assets to its underlying credit strategies, and sources and makes investment decisions within each strategy. Invesco Distributors, Inc. (the “Distributor”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Invesco, acted as the Fund’s principal underwriter in connection with the offering and sale of the Fund's shares.
Effective January 1, 2020, Foreside Fund Services, LLC, located at Three Canal Plaza, Suite 100, Portland, Maine 04101, will serve as the Fund’s principal underwriter and act as the distributor of the Fund’s shares in place of Invesco Distributors, Inc.
The Fund offers Class A, Class I, Class L, Class M, Class N, and Class Y shares. The Fund's Shares are offered on a monthly basis. Earnings, net assets and net asset value per share may differ due to each class having its own expenses, such as transfer and shareholder servicing agent fees and shareholder communications directly attributable to that class. Class A, L, M and Y have separate distribution and/or service plans under which they pay fees. Class I and Class N do not pay such fees.
The Fund seeks to produce current income by opportunistically allocating its assets across a wide range of credit strategies.
The Fund’s shares are offered for sale monthly through its Distributor at the then-current net asset value ("NAV") plus any applicable sales load. The price of the shares during the Fund’s continuous offering will fluctuate over time with the NAV of the shares. The sales load payable by each investor depends upon the amount invested by the investor in the Fund, but may range from 0.00% to 3.50%.
The Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 Financial Services- Investment Companies.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed in the Fund's preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”).
