Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance
Looking Back on the Markets — April 30, 2023
Financing was already in short supply when Silicon Valley Bank began to wobble in early March. Now, tremors in the banking sector, resulting most recently in UBS acquiring Credit Suisse, have tightened financial conditions even further, tipping us into a full-on Hunt for Capital like nothing we’ve seen in 15 years. Those with ready capital, particularly capital that can be flexible in one way or another, are able to lend on some of the best terms we’ve seen in a very long time.
The hunt didn’t start overnight in March 2023. The sharp rise in interest rates over the past year caused liquidity in most capital markets to freeze, CLO formation to slow dramatically, the IPO market to pause, and banks to pull back from lending. In other words, many companies ― even high-quality companies ― that needed growth capital found traditional paths to financing closed.
Layering a crisis on top of the pressure banks were already feeling from the sharp change in the value of their risk-weighted assets is unlikely to encourage them to lend more. A further pullback in bank lending, especially one caused by technical factors rather than fundamental weakness, has clear implications for the credit markets, including the likelihood that agile investors should have pockets of dispersion to trade on going forward.
It’s good to be a lender during a hunt for capital. Creditworthy borrowers face a real risk of being swept up in a wave of negative sentiment. We are committed to being in the market, helping to finance market-leading companies with strong cash flows that we think can defend their margins even in an inflationary environment. The long reign of the Hunt for Yield had investors accustomed to the idea that going out on the risk curve was the only way to get decent returns. It’s time for a new way of thinking: Returns are readily available, but quality and risk management have never been more important. Across the KKR Credit platform, we are actively deploying capital in today’s traded and private markets – with a strong emphasis on fundamental underwriting, nimble investing and thoughtful risk allocation.
Traded Credit Markets
The return of inflation and rising interest rates has precipitated a regime change characterized by higher volatility. Volatility, of course, can be an opportunity. When U.K. pension funds were forced to sell liquid assets during the LDI crisis, CLO spreads gapped out. However, we felt that the market’s movement were largely a reaction to a technical problem, rather than a dangerous change in fundamentals and moved quickly to buy CLOs.
These kinds of opportunities can and have happened all over the public markets, where issuance declined precipitously in 2022 and the supply of securities remains lower than the demand for them. High yield debt, where retail investors make up some 40%1 of the market and are more likely to sell in a downturn, is particularly vulnerable to sudden moves on negative news. Leveraged loans, too, can see spreads rise quickly. In this kind of environment, we think flexibility is a critical part of a credit strategy. The key, we think, is to focus on acting as a liquidity provider when and where the need arises and to focus on risk that is not overly complex. Reaching too far for risk in general or for risk that is overly reliant on open capital markets can be challenging in the current market environment.
At the moment, we see a growing number of opportunities to help companies facing loan maturities “amend and extend” their debt. Lenders have the opportunity to work with high-quality companies that have a high likelihood of refinancing to push out their maturities in exchange for wider spreads. In addition to the wider spreads, lenders can benefit from an upfront fee for allowing this extension. We believe being a liquidity provider can deliver excess returns in an environment like this.
Private Credit Markets
In private markets, what some borrowers need is problem-solving: bespoke capital solutions for unique situations. We think the uncertain market backdrop and economic environment will have two effects on private equity sponsors. First, they will favor acquiring very high-quality companies that seem likely to perform well immediately. Second, they

| Credit Opportunities Portfolio | April 30, 2023 (Unaudited) |
| |
are likely to be willing to pay a premium in credit markets for certainty in financing their deals compared to a more uncertain path in public markets.
At a time of great market volatility, borrowers can perceive an elevated degree of risk from traditional underwriting, which typically does not guarantee the full or successful marketing of a new issue. In a private lending arrangement, borrowers typically deal with one counterparty and forego the market risk associated with syndication. However, private loans tend to cost more. Would-be buyers can trade this cost for certainty of execution for a transaction they like.
We expect more deals, including bigger deals, to shift to private markets so long as uncertainty remains elevated and the Hunt for Capital continues. Importantly for investors, lenders can demand higher yields and more protective covenants in exchange for supplying scarce capital. We feel lender-friendly constructs such as call protection can be particularly attractive in subordinated debt. Investors can benefit from the higher yields on offer in the junior part of the capital structure, while also locking in their rates in the event that rates begin to fall.
US Direct Lending
As rates have risen over the past year, though, we have seen that borrowers are willing to pay 650-675 basis points above floating rates for senior secured debt, compared to 550-575 basis points 15 months ago. More importantly, borrowers likely will be willing to pay up to fund large transactions that would have been unheard-of in private markets. There are multi-billion dollar direct lending deals in the market at present that traditionally would have only gone to the syndicated loan market. Alongside this surge in demand, direct lenders have seen deal teams move in their favor, and we observe direct lenders benefiting from improvements in call protection, financial covenants and general credit agreement documentation – all of which may help to mitigate downside risk and offer lenders an “early seat at the table” should a business underperform.
Asset-Based Finance
Private ABF is a large asset class that reaches across many different segments of the economy. The ongoing disintermediation of traditional bank financing and technological innovation have spurred rapid growth in recent years, and we expect the trend to continue. Higher inflation, the pullback of traditional lenders in response to rising interest rates, and the outbreak of volatility in the banking system are all likely to increase the need for private ABF.
KKR seeks to lend against collateral that is explicitly defined, readily identified, objectively valued, and of critical importance to the borrower. In sectors we know and like (mortgages, auto loans, equipment leasing) we continue to participate in the junior part of the capital stack where we can currently earn similar returns to that of equity in usual market conditions, but with stronger downside protections. We also look to see that credits have limited duration, a transparent amortization schedule, and covenants that protect our interest and allow us a measure of control if the investment is underperforming.
Fund Description & Performance
KKR Credit Opportunities Portfolio (“KCOP” or, the “Fund”) is a diversified, closed-end management investment company that continuously offers its shares and is operated as an “interval fund.” The Fund’s investment objective is to seek to provide attractive risk-adjusted returns and high current income.
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.
| | | | | | | | |
| Credit Opportunities Portfolio | April 30, 2023 (Unaudited) |
| |
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, 2023, the Fund held 67.7% of its net assets in first and second lien leveraged loans, 48.6% of its net assets in high-yield corporate debt, 8.1% of its net assets in asset backed securities, and 5.9% of its net assets in equity and other investments. KCOP’s investments represented obligations and equity interests in 377 positions across a diverse group of industries. The top ten issuers represented 29.4% of the Fund’s net assets while the top five industry groups represented 48.1% of the Fund’s net assets.

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.

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.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
1. Organization
KKR Credit Opportunities Portfolio (the “Fund”) was organized on September 5, 2019 as a statutory trust under the laws of the State of Delaware. The Fund is a closed-end registered management investment company, which commenced operations on February 28, 2020 and continuously offers its shares and operates as an interval fund. The Fund seeks to provide attractive risk-adjusted returns and generate current income. 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”).
As of April 30, 2023, an affiliate of the Adviser owned 15.32% of the outstanding shares of the Fund.
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 (“FASB”) 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 designated the Adviser as the valuation designee to perform fair valuations pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the Investments 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 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.
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.
| | | | | | | | |
| Credit Opportunities Portfolio | April 30, 2023 (Unaudited) |
| |
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, 2023, 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. As of April 30, 2023, the Fund holds no cash equivalents.
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
| | | | | | | | |
| Credit Opportunities Portfolio | April 30, 2023 (Unaudited) |
| |
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 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 4.0% 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 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 50.0%) 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 (2019-2021). 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, 2023, 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, 2023, 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 10.0% and no more than 25.0% 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 10.0% 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”).
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements — In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. ASU 2020-04 contains practical expedients for reference rate reform-related activities that impact debt, leases, derivatives, and other contracts. The guidance in ASU 2020-04 is optional and may be elected over time as reference rate reform activities occur. Management of the Fund has elected to adopt this accounting standard and apply it to contracts that are modified for the sole purpose of reference rate reform. In December 2022, the FASB issued ASU No. 2022-06, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Deferral of the Sunset Date of Topic 848, which deferred the sunset day of this

guidance to December 31, 2024. The adoption of these standards did not have a material impact to these financial statements.
3. Risk Considerations
The Fund invests mainly in leveraged loans, high yield securities, collateralized loan obligations, common stocks not actively traded 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 and trade barriers. For example, the COVID‐19 pandemic, the Russia‐Ukraine war, rising interest rates, heightened inflation, supply chain disruptions, geopolitical risks, economic sanctions and volatility in the banking and financial sector 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.
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
| | | | | | | | |
| Credit Opportunities Portfolio | April 30, 2023 (Unaudited) |
| |
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 1.3% of the Fund’s average daily Managed Assets (the “Investment Advisory Fee”). “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, 2023, the Adviser earned an Investment Advisory Fee of $5.0 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 of 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 0.4% 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 with an initial term ending December 31, 2022. During October 2022, the Limitation Period was extended to December 31, 2023. 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 0.4% 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 36 months from the month 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, 2023, the amount of Expense Limitation Payments since the inception of the Fund provided by the Adviser was $3.2 million and the Reimbursement Payments to the Adviser was $0.3 million. The Fund’s management believes that Reimbursement Payments of the remaining Expense Limitation Payments were not probable as of April 30, 2023.

The following table reflects the Expense Limitation Payments that may become subject to reimbursement:
| | | | | | | | |
For the period ended | Amount of Expense Limitation Payment | Eligible for Reimbursement Payment through |
| | |
October 31, 2020 | $1,084,637 | | October 31, 2023 |
October 31, 2021 | 832,625 | | October 31, 2024 |
October 31, 2022 | 467,117 | | October 31, 2025 |
April 30, 2023 | 503,428 | | April 30, 2026 |
| $2,887,807 | | |
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 2.0% 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 D, 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 D, 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, 2023, the Fund incurred Shareholder Servicing Fees of $3.6 thousand, $31.1 thousand, and $360.3 thousand for Class D, Class T, and Class U, respectively.
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 0.5% 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, 2023, the Fund incurred distribution fees of $0.1 million and $0.7 million for Class T and Class U shares, respectively.
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
| | | | | | | | |
| Credit Opportunities Portfolio | April 30, 2023 (Unaudited) |
| |
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 not paid by the Fund for serving as officers of the Fund.

(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.

There were no purchases or sales of U.S. Government securities.
7. Shareholder Transactions
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 10.0% of its outstanding shares with each repurchase offer and under normal market conditions, the Board expects to authorize a 10.0% offer (“Repurchase Offer”). The Fund may not offer to repurchase more than 25.0% 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 2.0% 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, 2023, the Fund completed two quarterly repurchase offers. In these offers, the Fund offered to repurchase no less than 10.0% 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 |
| | | | | | |
1/13/2023 | 10% | 1/13/2023 | $21.65 | | $15,390,950 | | 707,329 | 2.83% |
4/14/2023 | 10% | 4/14/2023 | $21.93 | | $10,013,464 | | 409,011 | 1.55% |
| | | | | | |
| | | | | | |
(1)If total repurchase request exceeds 10.0% 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 2.0% of its total outstanding shares.

8. 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, 2023, total unfunded commitments on these credit agreements were $16.2 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.
9. 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. To the extent these differences are permanent, they are charged or credited to paid-in capital, accumulated net investment income or accumulated net realized losses, as appropriate, in the period in which the differences arise.
As of October 31, 2022, the following permanent differences have been reclassified (to)/from the following accounts:
| | | | | |
Accumulated Deficit | Paid-in Capital |

April 30, 2023* | $22,654,940 | | $— | | $22,654,940 | |
*The final tax character of any distribution declared during 2023 will be determined in January 2024 and reported to shareholders on IRS Form 1099-Div in accordance with federal income tax regulations.
As of October 31, 2022, the components of accumulated distributable earnings on a tax basis for the Fund are as follows:

Net capital losses earned may be carried forward indefinitely and must retain the character of the original loss. As of October 31, 2022, the Fund had non-expiring capital loss carry-forwards of $7.7 million.
As of October 31, 2022, the total cost of securities for federal income tax purposes and the aggregate gross unrealized appreciation and depreciation for securities held by the Fund are as follows:

10. Borrowings
Credit facility: On August 23, 2021, KCOP Funding LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Fund, entered into a multi-currency credit facility agreement (the “JPM Credit Facility”) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association to borrow $200.0 million, with options to increase the financing commitment up to $500.0 million. On November 4, 2021 and April 6, 2022, KCOP Funding LLC amended the JPM Credit Facility and increased the commitment to a total of $250.0 million and $300.0 million, respectively.
The JPM Credit Facility’s initial term ends on August 23, 2023, with options to extend the term up to August 23, 2025. Prior to April 6, 2022, borrowings accrued interest based on the London Interbank Offered Rate, or at a base rate applicable to each currency’s borrowing, plus a spread of 1.60%, or 1.72% for borrowings denominated in the British pound. Beginning April 6, 2022, borrowings accrue interest based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate, or a base rate applicable to each currency’s borrowing, plus a spread of 1.60% to 1.70%. 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, 2023, the Fund is in compliance with these covenants. The fair value of the JPM Credit Facility approximates it carrying value due to variable interest rates that periodically reset to market rates. This fair value was determined using Level 2 inputs in the fair value hierarchy.

Reverse Repurchase Agreements: On May 25, 2022, the Fund executed a Master Repurchase Agreement (“MRA”) with J.P. Morgan Securities LLC (“JPM”) as the counterparty to the agreement. In this reverse repurchase agreement, the Fund delivers a security in exchange for cash to JPM with a simultaneous agreement to repurchase the same or substantially the same security at an agreed upon price and date. The Fund is entitled to receive the principal and interest payments, if any, made on the security delivered to JPM during the term of the agreement. Cash received in exchange for securities delivered plus accrued interest payments to be made by the Fund to JPM is reflected as a liability in the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Interest payments made by the Fund to JPM is recorded as a component of interest expense in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. The Fund will segregate assets determined to be liquid by the Adviser or will otherwise cover its obligations under reverse repurchase agreements.
Reverse repurchase agreements involve the risk that the market value of the securities retained in lieu of sale by the Fund may decline below the price of the securities the Fund has sold but is obligated to repurchase. In the event the buyer of securities under a reverse repurchase agreement files for bankruptcy or becomes insolvent, such buyer or its trustee or receiver may receive an extension of time to determine whether to enforce the Fund’s obligation to repurchase the securities, and the Fund’s use of the proceeds of the reverse repurchase agreement may effectively be restricted pending such decision. Also, the Fund would bear the risk of loss to the extent that the proceeds of the reverse repurchase agreement are less than the value of the securities subject to such agreements.
As of April 30, 2023, the Fund had no borrowings outstanding under the MRA.
