Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance
Looking Back on the Markets — April 30, 2022
As we began to witness this January, 2022 was certainly going to look and feel very different than the year prior. Closing out 2021 the market began to grapple with discrepancies in perception versus reality after a year of unprecedented and record-breaking issuance, performance and deal activity. January quickly snapped us back to the staunch reality of inflationary pressures, a hawkish Fed and an increasingly tepid market environment. Many of the market’s performance drivers over the last 24 months were borne out of the crisis manifested from the onset of COVID-19 in the first quarter of 2020. We are now starting to witness expansive ripple effects unfold as the Fed sits between a rock and a hard place to combat historically high levels of inflation and a devastating war in Europe that has sent geopolitical shockwaves through the global markets.
The S&P is off to its worst start since 1939 and the NASDAQ has sold off nearly 21% as of April 30th, catapulting a shutdown of the IPO market and igniting a new fear of slowing growth. On the credit side, the globalization of markets over the last decade, which also fueled growth, is starting to experience the impacts of the impending Fed unwind. Although we have been highlighting this for some time, it is now apparent due to the exacerbated market conditions which have prompted volatility in asset pricing, currencies and FX derivatives and fund flows across the ecosystem. Importantly, this market is now highlighting the decoupling of the stock market and credit markets which will be an important dynamic for portfolio construction and asset allocation across investment portfolios. Additionally, given the intrinsic relationship between fund flows and market making — this event kick started a domino effect on the heels of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine — the primary credit calendar froze and universally stalled capital markets activities. This resulted in the redirection of deal flow from issuers and simultaneously ignited private credit market activity. We are now experiencing credit moving from one segment of the market as a result of the volatility and decoupling effect to another segment — privates. Private credit investors have been excited about this recent flow as it brings forth bigger businesses and capital structures to lend to. On the rate side, the short end of the curve first experienced considerable movement and then flipped to the long end in the last weeks of April. Long duration assets such as investment grade bonds and high yield BB’s endured rate pain while floating rate leveraged loans weathered the mark to market storm, ending the quarter near flat. As a stark pall of uncertainty ensued, cash reserves continued to increase and pending mergers and acquisitions sought to find a new capital base and home. However, it is important to highlight that the increased dispersion in the market is more tied to technical headwinds than it is to fundamentals.
As the March 16th Federal Open Market Committee (“FOMC”) meeting grew near, we saw the market find more of its footing, albeit cautiously and almost akin to a sigh of relief, as Fed Chair Powell finally confirmed what the market and market participants already were expecting: a 25 basis point increase to the Federal Funds rate. With the FOMC meeting under our belts and now the great debate focused on how many hikes we could potentially see in 2022, the global credit markets continued to recalibrate with large inflows into bank loans and outflows out of high yield. The outsized swath of flows, both institutional and retail, were moderated by the on-going supply demand imbalance technical in the market, which we will discuss further in this note. While Russia’s attack on Ukraine, coupled with inflation and a rising rate environment have introduced additional complexity for market participants to navigate, the demand for consistent income, down-side protection and preservation of capital remains persistent and is arguably even more important than ever before.
Furthermore, the current rotation from fixed to floating interest rates has been an asset allocation call versus a specific credit thesis or selection. Market participants are shifting into floating rate for the sake of the floating rate over the quality of the credit and over liquidity. This lack of acknowledgement highlights favoring a technical attribute over credit selection and also confirms that the market is not experiencing a traditional flight to quality, which often happens in markets wrought with concern and lack of conviction. In many cases, the exact opposite is happening as the loan market has a higher concentration of single B assets and lower rated assets than the high yield or investment grade markets.

Notwithstanding the exogenous shock the crisis in Ukraine has catalyzed across the global markets, and in Europe in particular, the market volatility has been orderly until recently in Q2. There continues to be growing anxiety around what the future holds. It is important to remember there is still plenty of dry powder sitting on the sidelines assessing the market’s moves but simultaneously the market construct has created less incentive for investors to lean into risk.
Overall, the U.S. has been more insulated from the immediate shocks of the geopolitical crisis, although, not immune. In Europe, the conflict has already taken a toll, most notably stunting growth which many believe is likely to eventually lead to a recession. Globally, we have been witnessing the severe impact on commodity prices, currency depreciation coupled with foreign exchange volatility, and further exacerbation to existing inflationary headwinds. On the whole, U.S. Bank Loans closed out the first quarter nearly flat at -0.10%,2 demonstrating the greatest resilience across asset classes. At the same time, European Bank Loans ended the quarter -0.50%,3 CLO Liabilities -0.33%,4 U.S. High Yield -4.51%,5 and European High Yield -4.83%6 on a total return basis as of March 31, 2022. As we compared public liquid credit returns to private credit returns, which are in the low single digits for the first quarter, it has become clear there is dispersion between asset classes.
The market ride is likely to continue to be bumpy but we think it is prudent to stick with conviction, fundamentals and seek out opportunity through the volatile moments. The globalization of markets we have witnessed has created an influential interdependency amongst a broad range of macroeconomic inputs that can result in volatility. In the same vein, this globalization effect has also prompted a decoupling amongst market segments such as fund flows and stocks and credit that will take some time to filter through the system. With the market still demanding a “show me” fundamental results story as corporate earnings roll in, acute attention paid on margin compression, currency fluctuations and the long-term net effects of slowing growth, we believe there could be real dispersion on the horizon. We are living through an environment where the Fed has openly acknowledged there is a need to actively dampen consumer demand to temper inflation but the supply side headwinds cannot be controlled by the Fed, further spotlighting the interconnectedness and globalization of the markets. If inflation continues to stay elevated coupled with slowing growth, credit should become an even larger portion of an investment portfolio.
Overall, we think this all points to the perpetual need for a diverse and sustainable approach to investing in corporate credit, an approach that marries the fundamentals and bottom up analysis with the swift ability to act, pivot and execute across a holistic set of solutions and broad range of market segments and capital bases. As a result, we have real time access to market movements that informs our views and promotes our ability to execute with speed and certainty across all of our core competencies. At our core we are long term fundamental credit investors focused on delivering consistent returns with downside protection. The scale and breadth of KKR’s global portfolio means that our team is in the market all day, every day, sharing insights globally and working collaboratively to identify, extract and underwrite value. That is one element that is unique to us — we operate as one global team and the value of leadership and teamwork is unparalleled when it all comes together in a challenging environment. Given this market is going to test the time of patience, we believe it is important to have dry powder to lean in when there is volatility, scaled capital to address a multitude of investment scenarios and to remember to stay focused on the long term goal — delivering for our clients.
Background and Fund Performance

| | | |
The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objectives by investing in a select portfolio with exposure to two primary credit strategies:
| 1. | Opportunistic Credit, a conviction-based approach investing in a portfolio consisting primarily of publicly traded high yield bonds, first- and second-lien secured bank loans and structured credit (e.g., collateralized loan obligations (“CLOs”) and mezzanine debt) and |
| 2. | Private Credit, which includes directly originated hard and financial asset-based lending, corporate mezzanine debt, as well as directly originated first-lien, second-lien and unitranche senior loans to upper middle-market companies. |
Under normal market conditions, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its Managed Assets (as defined below) in senior and subordinated corporate debt and debt related instruments, including bonds, secured bank loans, convertible securities, structured products, convertible debt securities, repurchase agreements, and municipal securities.
The Fund expects, under normal circumstances, to invest 70-80% of its Managed Assets in the Opportunistic Credit strategy and 20-30% of its Managed Assets in the Private Credit Strategy, though the Fund’s allocation in investments could vary from these guidelines at any time in the Fund’s discretion. On at least a quarterly basis, the Fund’s Investment Committee will meet to, among other things, review and establish the allocation percentage between the Opportunistic Credit Strategy and Private Credit Strategy for the ensuing period. The Investment Committee will consider factors such as KKR’s macro-economic and market outlooks, assessment of the relative risk and return of each strategy, and other factors in making its determination. “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).
As of April 30, 2022, the Fund held 63.04% of its net assets in first and second-lien leveraged loans, 62.16% of its net assets in high-yield corporate debt, 6.96% of its net assets in asset backed securities, 5.33% of its net assets in equities and other investments. KCOP’s investments represented obligations and equity interests in 298 positions across a diverse group of industries. The top ten issuers represented 32.7% of the Fund’s net assets while the top five industry groups represented 49.00% of the Fund’s net assets. The Fund’s Securities and Exchange Commission 30-day yield for Class D, Class I, Class T, and Class U were 7.33%, 7.60%, 6.81% and 6.81%, respectively.

2. | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |
Basis of Presentation — The accompanying consolidated 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 Codification Topic 946, Financial Services — Investment Companies. The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in these consolidated financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Basis of Consolidation — The Fund’s Consolidated Financial Statements include balances of both the Fund and its wholly owned subsidiary. All interfund transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.
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 has delegated primary responsibility in ensuring these valuation policies and procedures are followed, including those relating to fair valuation, to the Adviser.
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 Consolidated 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.
The types of assets generally included in this category are common stocks listed in active markets.
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.
The types of assets and liabilities generally included in this category are high yield securities and certain leveraged loans.

| | | |
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.
The types of assets generally included in this category are certain collateralized loan obligations, leveraged loans, common stocks not actively traded and preferred stocks not actively traded.
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, which the Fund recognizes at the beginning of the period during which the inputs change.
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.
Certain unfunded investments in delayed draw term loans and revolving lines of credit may at times be priced at less than par value resulting in a financial liability in the Consolidated Schedule of Investments. These values are temporary and the funding of the commitment will result in these investments valued as financial assets. The interest rates shown for unfunded commitments in the Consolidated Schedule of Investments represents the commitment fee the fund earns on the undrawn amounts.
For the six months ended April 30, 2022, there have been 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. Amortization and accretion is calculated using the effective interest method over the holding period of the investment. 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.
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 interest from the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held.
Distributions to Shareholders — Distributions are accrued and declared daily and paid monthly, and distributable net realized capital gains, if any, are declared and distributed at least annually.
Term Loan Income — Term Loan Income consists of transaction fees including, but not limited to, assignment, transfer, administration and amendment fees. Fee and other income is recorded when earned, and is recognized in Other income on the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
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 gross 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 4.00% 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 98.00% of its net investment income (earned during the calendar year) and 98.20% of its net realized capital gains (earned during the twelve months 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 50.00%) 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 (2020-2021). 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, on-going analysis of and changes to tax laws, regulations and interpretations thereof.
As of April 30, 2022, 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 Consolidated Statement of Operations. During the six months ended April 30, 2022, the Fund did not incur any interest or penalties.
Repurchase Offers — The Fund operates as an interval fund pursuant to Rule 23c-3 under the 1940 Act and, as such, has adopted a fundamental policy to make quarterly repurchase offers, at NAV, of no less than 10.00% and no more than 25.00% of the Fund’s shares outstanding on the Repurchase Request Deadline (as defined below). There is no guarantee that shareholders will be able to sell all of the shares they desire to sell in a quarterly repurchase offer, although each shareholder will have the right to require the Fund to purchase at least 10.00% of such shareholder’s shares in each quarterly repurchase. Liquidity will be provided to shareholders only through the Fund’s quarterly repurchases. Shareholders will be notified in writing of each quarterly repurchase offer and the date the repurchase offer ends (the “Repurchase Request Deadline”).

The Fund invests mainly in leveraged loans, high yield securities, common stocks not actively traded and preferred stocks. These investments may involve certain risks, including, but not limited to, those described below:
COVID-19 and 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 and trade barriers. For example, COVID-19 has adversely impacted, and any future outbreaks could adversely impact, the markets and economy in general, including the companies in which the Fund invests, and could harm Fund performance. Epidemics and pandemics, such as the COVID-19 outbreak, have and may further result in, among other things, travel restrictions, closure of international borders, certain businesses and securities markets, restrictions on securities trading activities, quarantines, supply chain disruptions and reduced consumer demand, as well as general concern and uncertainty. The COVID-19 outbreak has had, and will continue to have, a material adverse impact on the global economy, including the U.S. economy, as cross border commercial activity and market sentiment have been negatively impacted by the outbreak and government and other measures seeking to contain its spread. Market, economic and political conditions and events are outside the Adviser’s control and could adversely affect the liquidity and value of the Fund’s investments and reduce the ability of the Fund to make attractive new investments.
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.
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 1.30% of the Fund’s average daily Managed Assets (the “Investment Advisory Fee”). The Adviser has voluntarily agreed to temporarily reduce its Investment Advisory Fee to an annual rate of 0.65% of the Fund’s average daily Managed Assets from March 1, 2020, until June 30, 2021, and to an annual rate of 1.00% from July 1, 2021 until September 30, 2022. Effective October 1, 2022, the Adviser’s agreement to temporarily reduce its Investment Advisory Fee will terminate and the Adviser will receive an Investment Advisory Fee at an annual rate of 1.30% of the Fund’s average daily Managed Assets. “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. During the six months ended April 30, 2022, the Adviser earned an Investment Advisory Fee of $3.5 million.
The Fund has entered into an Expense Limitation and Reimbursement Agreement (the “Expense Limitation Agreement”) with the Adviser pursuant to which the Adviser will agree to waive its monthly fee and pay, absorb or reimburse some or all the Fund’s “Specified Expenses” (as defined below), an “Expense Limitation Payment,” for each month during the Limitation Period (as defined below) to the extent necessary so that, for any fiscal year, the Fund’s Specified Expenses do not exceed 0.40% of the average daily value of the Fund’s net assets. “Specified Expenses” of the Fund means all expenses incurred in the business of the Fund, including organizational and operating expenses, with the exception of: (i) the Management Fee (as defined in the Fund’s prospectus), (ii) the Service Fee (as defined in the Fund’s prospectus), (iii) the Distribution Fee (as defined in the Fund’s prospectus), (iv) brokerage costs, (v) dividend/interest payments (including any dividend payments, interest expenses, commitment fees, or other expenses related to any leverage incurred by the Fund), (vi) taxes, and (vii) extraordinary expenses (as determined in the sole discretion of the Adviser). The “Limitation Period” commenced on February 28, 2020 and ends on December 31, 2022. The Fund will agree to repay these amounts (“Reimbursement Payment”) on a monthly basis, but only if and to the extent that Specified Expenses plus the Reimbursement Payment are less than 0.40% of the average daily value of the Fund’s net assets during the fiscal year (or, if a lower expense limit is then in effect, such lower limit). The Fund’s obligation to make Reimbursement Payments expires three years from the end of the fiscal year in which such fees are foregone or expense is incurred by the Adviser.
The Expense Limitation Agreement terminates at the end of the Limitation Period, but may be renewed by the mutual agreement of the Adviser and the Fund for successive terms.
As of April 30, 2022, the amount of Expense Limitation Payments since the inception of the Fund provided by the Adviser is $2.2 million.

KKR Capital Markets LLC (the “Distributor”), an affiliate of the Adviser, is the principal underwriter and distributor of the shares and serves in that capacity on a best effort basis, subject to various conditions. Shares will be offered through other brokers, dealers and other financial intermediaries (referred to as “selling agents”) that have entered into selling agreements with the Distributor. Selling agents typically receive the sales load with respect to Class T shares purchased by their clients. The Distributor does not retain any portion of the sales load. Class T shares are sold subject to a maximum sales load of up to 2.00% of the offering price. However, purchases of Class T shares may be eligible for a sales load discount. The selling agents may, in their sole discretion, reduce or waive the sales load on a non-scheduled basis in individual cases. Class I shares and Class U shares are not subject to a sales load; however, investors could be required to pay brokerage commissions on purchases and sales of Class I shares and Class U shares to their selling agents.
The Fund pays the Distributor an ongoing fee (the “Shareholder Servicing Fee”) that is calculated and accrued monthly at an annualized rate of 0.25% of the net assets of the Fund attributable to Class D shares, Class T shares and Class U shares. The Shareholder Servicing Fee is for personal services provided to Shareholders and/or the maintenance of Shareholder accounts services and to reimburse the Distributor for related expenses incurred. The Distributor will generally pay all or a portion of the Shareholder Servicing Fee to the selling agents that sell Class D shares, Class T shares and Class U shares. During the six months ended April 30, 2022, the Fund incurred shareholder servicing fees of $0.3 million.
In addition, the Fund pays the Distributor an ongoing distribution fee (the “Distribution Fee”) that is calculated and accrued monthly at an annualized rate of 0.50% of the net assets of the Fund attributable to Class T shares and Class U shares. The Distribution Fee is for the sale and marketing of the Class T shares and Class U shares and to reimburse the Distributor for related expenses incurred. The Distributor will generally pay all or a portion of the Distribution Fee to the selling agents that sell Class T shares and Class U shares. During the six months ended April 30, 2022, the Fund incurred distribution fees of $0.7 million.
Payment of the Distribution Fee and the Shareholder Servicing Fee is governed by the Fund’s Distribution and Service Plan. Class I shares do not incur a Shareholder Servicing Fee or Distribution Fee, and Class D shares do not incur a Distribution Fee.
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 Consolidated Statement of Operations. The accrued obligations under the Plan, including unrealized appreciation (depreciation), are included on the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
Other — Certain officers of the Fund are also officers of the Adviser. Such officers are paid no fees 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, 2022:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |

| | | | | | | | Net leverage | | | 0.0x - 8.9x (6.3x) | |
| | | | |

(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 0.00%-100.00%. 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 100.00% 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. |

As a fundamental policy, which may not be changed without shareholder approval, the Fund offers shareholders the opportunity to request the repurchase of their shares on a quarterly basis. The Fund is required to offer to repurchase not less than 10.00% of its outstanding shares with each repurchase offer and under normal market conditions, the Board expects to authorize a 10.00% offer (“Repurchase Offer). The Fund may not offer to repurchase more than 25.00% of its outstanding shares during any offer. Quarterly repurchases will occur in the months of January, April, July and October.
The time and dates by which Repurchase Offers must be received in good order (“Repurchase Request Deadline”) are generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on the first Friday of the month in which the repurchase occurs. The repurchase price will be the Fund’s NAV determined on the repurchase pricing date, which will be a date not more than 14 calendar days following the Repurchase Request Deadline (“Repurchase Pricing Date”). Payment for all shares repurchased pursuant to these offers will be made not later than seven calendar days after the Repurchase Pricing Date (“Repurchase Payment Deadline”). Under normal circumstances, it is expected that the Repurchase Request Deadline will be the same date as the Repurchase Pricing Date. If the tendered shares have been purchased immediately prior to the tender, the Fund will not release repurchase proceeds until payment for the tendered shares has settled.
If more shares are tendered for repurchase than the Fund has offered to repurchase, the Board may, but is not obligated to, increase the number of shares to be repurchased by up to 2.00% of the shares outstanding on the Repurchase Request Deadline. If there are still more shares tendered than are offered for repurchase, shares will be repurchased on a pro rata basis.
During the six months ended April 30, 2022, the Fund completed two quarterly repurchase offers. In these offers, the Fund offered to repurchase no less than 10.00% of the number of its outstanding shares as of the Repurchase Pricing Dates. The result of the repurchase offers were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Repurchase Request Deadline | | Percentage of Outstanding Share the Fund Offered to Repurchase(1) | | | Repurchase Pricing Date | | Pricing Date NAV | | | Amount Repurchased | | | Number of Shares Repurchased (all classes) | | | Percentage of Outstanding Shares Repurchased | |
| | | | | | |

(1) | If total repurchase request exceeds 10.00% of the Fund’s outstanding shares, the Fund may increase the number of shares that it is offering to repurchase by up to an additional 2.00% of its total outstanding shares. |

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.
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 gains (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. To the extent these differences are permanent, they are charged or credited to paid-in capital, accumulated net

Commitment fees on the JPM Credit Facility accrue at a rate of 0.35% or 0.65% depending on the utilization levels. The JPM Credit Facility contains certain financial and operating covenants that require the maintenance of ratios and benchmarks throughout the borrowing period. As of April 30, 2022, the Fund is in compliance with these covenants.

Approval of Investment Advisory Agreement
Background
At a meeting of the Board of KKR Credit Opportunities Portfolio (the “Fund”) held on December 16, 2021 (the “Meeting”), the members of the Board, including the Trustees who are not “interested persons” of the Fund (the “Independent Trustees”), as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, considered and unanimously approved the continuance of the investment advisory agreement (the “Investment Advisory Agreement”) between KKR Credit Advisors (US) LLC (the “Adviser”) and the Fund.
Prior to the Meeting, the Independent Trustees received a memorandum from their independent legal counsel concerning the duties and responsibilities of board members in considering approval of the Investment Advisory Agreement. The Board had also received and considered materials it deemed reasonably necessary for its review of the Investment Advisory Agreement, including materials and reports prepared by the Adviser and a third-party service provider comparing fee, expense and performance information to a collection of registered closed-end funds operated as “interval funds” believed by the Adviser to have comparable investment objectives and strategies as well as to peer groups of registered closed-end funds in the same or similar Morningstar categories as the Fund (collectively, the “Peer Funds”).
The Independent Trustees discussed with management and separately with their independent legal counsel the materials provided by management prior to the scheduled board meeting.
In its consideration of the approval of the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Board considered various factors, including the following:
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services
In considering the nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Adviser, the Board relied on their ongoing experience as Trustees of the Fund as well as on the materials provided at and prior to the Meeting. The Board reviewed and considered the nature and extent of the investment advisory services provided by the Adviser under the Investment Advisory Agreement, including portfolio management, investment research and overseeing portfolio transactions. It was further noted that the Adviser coordinates and oversees the provision of services provided to the Fund by other service providers.
The Board reviewed and considered the qualifications, background and experience of the investment team and other key personnel of the Adviser who provide advisory and non-advisory services to the Fund. The Board also considered the resources, operations and practices of the Adviser both generally and in managing the Fund’s portfolio. The Board noted the Adviser’s extensive experience in managing portfolios of loans and fixed income securities, knowledge of loan and fixed income markets, expertise in private credit transactions, and analytical and risk management capabilities. The Board determined that the nature and extent of services provided by the Adviser to the Fund were appropriate and that the Fund should continue to benefit from the nature, extent and quality of these services as a result of the Adviser’s experience, personnel, operations and resources.
Performance, Fees and Expenses of the Fund
The Board considered the performance of the Fund for the one-year and since-inception periods (as of October 31, 2021) under the management of the Adviser on an absolute basis and in comparison to the performance of the Peer Funds. The Board also considered the Adviser’s rationale for including certain funds among the Peer Funds for purposes of comparison, as well as the reasons why the Adviser believes that the Fund’s particular Morningstar category provides an imprecise comparison. The Adviser also discussed with the Board the key contributors and detractors to the Fund’s performance during the period.

| | | |
The Board then discussed with the Adviser the Fund’s fees and expenses relative to the Peer Funds and other accounts advised by the Adviser. The Board noted that the Fund’s advisory fee is generally comparable to the fees charged by the Adviser or its affiliates to other clients for which it provides comparable services or uses overlapping portfolio management team members. The Board further noted that the Fund’s advisory fee was lower than the median of the Peer Funds in its Morningstar category. The Board also took into account the impact of leverage on the advisory fee paid by the Fund. In addition to the advisory fee, the Board also reviewed the Fund’s total expense ratio and observed that the Fund’s net expense ratio was lower than the median of the Peer Funds in its Morningstar category. Following its review, in light of the extent and high quality of services that the Fund receives, the Board determined that the Fund’s performance under the management of the Adviser was satisfactory and that the Fund’s fees and expenses were reasonable.
Economies of Scale
The Board considered the size and growth prospects of the Fund and how it relates to the structure of the Fund’s advisory fee schedule, which does not include breakpoints. The Board concluded that the Fund’s advisory and administration fees are appropriate in light of the projected size of the Fund and appropriately reflect the current economic and competitive environment for the Adviser. The Trustees also observed that they will have the opportunity to periodically re-examine whether the Fund has achieved economies of scale in the future as the Fund grows to determine if and how any such economies of scale could be shared with the Fund and its investors.
Profitability of the Adviser and Affiliates
The Board considered the profitability to the Adviser of its relationship with the Fund. The Board had been provided information concerning costs incurred and profits realized by the Adviser under the Investment Advisory Agreement. The Adviser discussed its cost allocation methodology and the reasons why the Adviser believed it to be reasonable. The Board also examined the level of profits that could be expected to accrue to the Adviser from the fees payable under the Investment Advisory Agreement. After discussion and analysis, the Board concluded that the profitability was in no case such as to render the advisory fee excessive.
Other Benefits of the Relationship
The Board considered other benefits to the Adviser and its affiliates derived from their relationship with the Fund. Based on information provided by and discussions with the Adviser, the Board concluded that these benefits did not appear to be material at the present time.
Resources of the Adviser and Relationship with the Fund
The Board considered the financial circumstances of the Adviser and whether the Adviser has the resources necessary to perform its obligations under the Investment Advisory Agreement. The Board also reviewed and considered the relationship between the Fund and the Adviser, including the policies and procedures formulated and adopted by the Adviser for managing the Fund’s operations and the Board’s confidence in the competence and integrity of senior managers and key personnel of the Adviser. The Board concluded that the Adviser has the financial resources necessary to fulfill its obligations under the Investment Advisory Agreement and that it is beneficial for the Fund to continue its relationship with the Adviser.
Other Factors
The Board considered the controls and procedures adopted and implemented by the Adviser and monitored by the Fund’s Chief Compliance Officer and concluded that the conduct of business by the Adviser demonstrates a good faith effort on its part to adhere to high ethical standards in the conduct of the Fund’s business.

| | | |
General Conclusion
After considering and weighing all of the above factors, the Board concluded that the advisory fee was reasonable in light of the services provided by the Adviser and it would be in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders to approve renewal of the Investment Advisory Agreement for another year. In reaching this conclusion the Board did not give particular weight to any single factor referenced above. The Board considered these factors during the Meeting and over the course of numerous meetings, some of which were in executive session with only the Independent Trustees and their counsel present. Individual Board members may have ascribed different weights to these factors in their individual considerations in reaching their unanimous decision to approve the renewal of the Investment Advisory Agreement.
