Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance
Looking Back on the Markets — April 30, 2024
The experience for investors over the past 12 months within liquid credit markets has been a strong juxtaposition against what was observed during the sell-off of 2022. Both high yield bonds and bank loans have posted strong positive performance, returning +13.5% and +13.4%, respectively, as U.S. and European economies have proven to be much more resilient than expected, corporate fundamentals have broadly held up, and the U.S. Federal Reserve indicated a pause in rate hikes in the back half of 2023.
As we reflect on the past 12 months and think about key themes, we believe that we are seeing a consensus build in the markets: a hard landing is unlikely, either in the U.S. or Europe. Furthermore, inflation seems to have peaked, and interest rates are expected to move lower as a result. Yet, this consensus has not translated into broad conviction among credit investors about where and how to invest. Markets are in transition, with the most notable shift being the rebalancing between private and liquid credit markets. Private credit received an incredible amount of public attention in 2022 and 2023, but some of the enthusiasm may have been overwrought.
As we look prospectively and think about how this shapes our outlook, we have observed the following key themes and opportunities in broader credit markets:
1.Private credit has increased its durability and permanence as part of issuer’s financing toolkit as well as within investors’ asset allocations.
2.The ship has not sailed in liquid credit markets: despite strong performance in 2023, we believe investors can still attain high levels of income with limited risks of outright losses, plus the added benefit of immediate deployment. We believe dispersion is likely to increase, making strong individual and idiosyncratic credit selection increasingly important.
3.We are in a golden age of credit allocation: with the tremendous growth of private credit plus credit still screening attractive compared to other broader asset classes, investors have a broad and wide tool set to capitalize on the current market backdrop.
Our strong independent outlooks for both public and private credit do not require that one “win” at the other’s expense, but rather, their unique characteristics underpin the view that each has its place in a healthy, functioning borrowing system. As investors have recognized the benefits of quick deployment into public credit, demand has grown and issuance has accelerated in Q1 2024, led by high yield and leveraged loan refinancing activity. Yet despite this reopening of the capital markets, private markets continue to prevail in certain parts of the capital structure – for example, in junior debt where pricing is more competitive, and capital is more readily available. Overall, we believe this vintage of new deals will be attractive and that taking advantage of new issuances across private credit and public credit will lead to differentiated outcomes, particularly if lenders are able to expand the new-issue premium. This is most evident in high yield bonds, private junior debt, and other subordinated capital solutions.
In short, these observations together underscore our position that it will remain a good time to be a lender. We worry that investors who take a hyper-granular focus toward entry points, interest rate moves, and the path forward for the economy may fail to deploy capital at all, a mistake which stung many who sat on the sidelines in 2023. As the credit asset class has matured, investors now have a wider range of options to build diversified credit portfolios spanning corporate/non-corporate exposures across different regions and levels of risk. Adding to the breadth of accessible strategies an environment of higher-for-longer interest rates and rising dispersion, we believe it’s a good time to be a credit investor and the opportunity continues to remain ripe in both public, traded credit and private credit markets.
Traded Credit Markets
As we look at the opportunity in traded credit today, we note a meaningful evolution in credit markets over the last six months in which spreads have tightened, leading investors to question if they missed the boat. Despite the recent strong performance for credit, we believe the ship has not sailed on the opportunity as we still believe investors can attain high levels of income with limited risks of outright losses while also benefiting from immediate capital deployment relative to less liquid strategies. We also see a likelihood of increased credit dispersion creating a more attractive environment for credit pickers. Overall, we view the opportunity in traded credit markets as highly compelling and still see an attractive point of entry for credit with conviction in flexible mandates able to pick winners and losers across high yield bond, loan, and CLO markets.

As we think about the current opportunity set, investors should remind themselves that liquid credit can generate income both through spreads and base rates, especially following the years-long period of near-zero interest rates. While spreads are on the tighter end of historical ranges, elevated base rates can still provide attractive nominal income while also providing a substantial buffer against price declines. In fact, going back to 1999, U.S. leveraged loans have seen only three years of negative total returns (2008, 2015, and 2022), highlighting the efficacy of interest income dampening the impacts of negative price returns. This same dynamic can be found in the high yield bond market, albeit to a lesser extent, though high yield bond investors can benefit from upside convexity should base rates fall.
Another important dynamic at play in liquid credit is the ability for immediate capital deployment relative to less liquid strategies. As many investors experienced last year, time spent under-allocated, or out of the market, can lead to painful underperformance. While perfectly timing entry and exit points can be enticing, time spent in credit markets becomes a powerful driver of return in higher interest rate regimes, especially as we expect that rates will remain elevated for the foreseeable future.
Finally, as we look prospectively, we also see a strong probability of increased dispersion among issuers and assets within leveraged credit markets. In a higher-for-longer rate environment in which elevated rates put pressure on corporate earnings, we believe that dispersion between winners and losers could rise within the market and create greater opportunity for credit-pickers to drive out performance through idiosyncratic risk-taking. In 2023, we saw this at play as the impacts of higher rates and slowing demand saw disparate outcomes for borrowers. Borrowers with pricing power were able to pass along rising costs to consumers while those who did not, or could not, do the same were punished in markets. As our Leveraged Credit team has full coverage of lending markets, we are flexible and can trade actively into the markets where we perceive the greatest value.
All of the above being said, we believe that our flexible mandate bolsters our ability to toggle between asset classes should the outlook on rates or spreads change and, considering the ongoing volatility particularly in rate markets, this flexibility could be an important differentiator relative to other leveraged credit exposures.
Private Credit Markets
Credit markets have changed in fundamental ways over the last 15 years—shifting corporate borrowing away from syndicated markets and towards private credit. Banks began shrinking the scope of their lending activity after the 2008 global financial crisis, and the pullback has continued post-COVID and in the face of the U.S. regional banking scare in March 2023. As a result of the most recent retrenchment, the loan syndication machine broke down, conditions for high yield issuance became unpredictable, and the IPO well ran dry. What was left? Private credit, which has steadily taken share from syndicated markets and moved out of the realm of the middle-market to become a viable means for financing larger deals. Meanwhile, more recently, private asset-based finance strategies have seen a growing number of attractive opportunities to lend against portfolios of high-quality assets as regional banks have started to look to shed portfolios of loans or exit from lending against certain assets. As private lending continues to afford more flexibility and certainty to borrowers and sponsors, it has become a mainstay source of financing. We see this coexisting with syndicated markets as they reopen and begin to normalize. Finally, we expect that private lenders should benefit from overall growth in the market due to increased transaction activity, and we are optimistic for a strong vintage in 2024 and 2025.
On the demand side, we see a trend in which private credit is becoming a more permanent allocation for investors. Typically, we have seen the core allocations within private credit take on the role of an income strategy that can be supplemented by opportunistic, higher-yielding corporate lending strategies or private strategies that are uncorrelated to developed market corporate risk, such as asset-based strategies. It’s also important to consider that private equity funds hold more than $2 trillion of dry powder and will need both public and private credit to finance deals. Indeed, we believe that the pace of growth in private credit is sustainable, but it need not usurp liquid credit’s traditional role. We see them working more in tandem, even in the same deal at different points in the capital structure.
Private Corporate Direct Lending
The rising rate/inflationary environment that persisted in 2023 caused syndicated capital markets to largely pause amid growing uncertainty from issuers, which provided an opportunity for private lenders to step in to bring deals to market. This dynamic has shifted in the last quarter as syndicated markets have opened back up, but we are still seeing appetite from issuers to seek private deals that offer more certainty, customization and have a longer-term orientation. We have invested heavily into our team and platform over the last few years and are confident in our ability to maintain our origination volume and network in an increasingly competitive market.

Private Asset-Based Finance
Private asset-based finance is a large asset class that reaches across many different segments of the economy. Disintermediation in the banking sector has been expansionary for the asset class since the 2008 global financial crisis, and more recently the regional banking dislocation in the U.S. has provided unique opportunities to be a private provider of capital as they look to sell portfolios of assets to shore up liquidity. As we continue, we have sought to diligence funding originators with long track records and in sectors where we are more favorably biased – namely, lending to more prime borrower segments and on a collateralized basis. We also prefer secured risk over unsecured and have found opportunities across diverse collateral such as auto loans, mortgages, and equipment leasing. Finally, we also favor real assets which can provide a natural hedge in today’s high inflationary environment.
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:
a.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
b.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 primarily upper middle-market companies.
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. “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).
With respect to performance, 2023 was a banner year for the Fund which recorded its strongest calendar year return since inception. This momentum continued into 2024 on both an absolute basis and relative to broader leveraged credit markets. For the 12-month period ended April 30, 2024, the Fund’s total return, net of fees and inclusive of dividends, was as follows for each share class: 16.36% (Class I), 16.18% (Class D), 15.56% (Class U), 15.56% (Class T – No Sales Load) and 13.25% (Class T – With Sales Load). By comparison, high yield (as measured by the Bank of America Merrill Lynch High Yield Master II Index) returned 8.90% and leveraged loans (as measured by the Morningstar LSTA US Leveraged Loan Index) returned 11.97%.
Looking at the trailing 12-month period, performance is derived, in part, from the health of the underlying markets in which the Fund invests. Importantly, risk assets, and notably the leveraged credit markets, were strong on the back of renewed investor confidence as developed economies proved resilient and corporate balance sheets broadly held up. We also note the Fund’s use of leverage which has amplified returns in periods of positive performance and diluted returns in periods of negative performance. Over longer horizons, we believe leverage adds substantial value to the Fund, as reflected in the portfolio’s yield profile.
Diving into the Fund’s performance drivers, positions within the services, leisure, and healthcare sectors were the top contributors during the period. On an asset class basis, leveraged loan and high yield bond positions were the strongest performers followed by structured credit, convertible bonds, and finally private credit. Performance was positive across all rating cohorts including non-rated positions. Notably strong was the selection of lower-rated names in the Not Rated and CCC-rated cohort of the market which, in aggregate, comprised ~84.0% of the portfolio on average.
KCOP’s investments represented obligations and equity interests in 492 positions across a diverse group of industries. The top ten issuers represented 23.1% of the Fund’s portfolio value while the top ten industries represented 60.9% of the Fund’s portfolio value.

The returns shown do not reflect taxes a shareholder would pay on distributions or redemptions. Total investment return and principal value of your investment will fluctuate, and your shares, when sold, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance data quoted. An investment in the Fund involves risk, including the risk of loss of principal.

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

Notes to 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, 2024, an affiliate of the Adviser owned 12.85% of the outstanding shares of the Fund.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation — The accompanying financial statements are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and are stated in United States (“U.S.”) dollars. The Fund is an investment company following accounting and reporting guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 946, Financial Services — Investment Companies. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in these financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Valuation of Investments — The Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of the Fund has adopted valuation policies and procedures to ensure investments are valued in a manner consistent with GAAP as required by the 1940 Act. The Board designated the Adviser as the valuation designee to perform fair valuations pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the 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 Statement of Assets and Liabilities are categorized based upon the level of judgment associated with the inputs used to measure their value. Hierarchical levels, as defined under GAAP, are directly related to the amount of subjectivity associated with the inputs to fair valuations of these assets and liabilities, and are as follows:
Level 1 — Inputs are unadjusted, quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date.
Level 2 — Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability.
Level 3 — Inputs are unobservable for the asset or liability, and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability.
A significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability is an indication that transactions or quoted prices may not be representative of fair value because in such market conditions there may be increased instances of transactions that are not orderly. In those circumstances, further analysis of transactions or quoted prices is needed, and a significant adjustment to the transactions or quoted prices may be necessary to estimate fair value.
| | | | | | | | |
| Credit Opportunities Portfolio | April 30, 2024 (Unaudited) |
| |
The availability of observable inputs can vary depending on the financial asset or liability and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including, for example, the type of product, whether the product is new, whether the product is traded on an active exchange or in the secondary market, and the current market condition. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised by the Fund in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3. In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Fund’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and consideration of factors specific to the asset. The variability of the observable inputs affected by the factors described above may cause transfers between Levels 1, 2 and/or 3.
Many financial assets and liabilities have bid and ask prices that can be observed in the marketplace. Bid prices reflect the highest price that the Fund and others are willing to pay for an asset. Ask prices represent the lowest price that the Fund and others are willing to accept for an asset. For financial assets and liabilities whose inputs are based on bid-ask prices, the Fund does not require that fair value always be a predetermined point in the bid-ask range. The Fund’s policy is to allow for mid-market pricing and adjust to the point within the bid-ask range that meets the Fund’s best estimate of fair value.
Depending on the relative liquidity in the markets for certain assets, the Fund may transfer assets to Level 3 if it determines that observable quoted prices, obtained directly or indirectly, are not available.
Investments are generally valued based on quotations from third party pricing services, unless such a quotation is unavailable or is determined to be unreliable or inadequately representing the fair value of the particular assets. In that case, valuations are based on either valuation data obtained from one or more other third party pricing sources, including broker dealers selected by the Adviser, or will reflect the Valuation Committee’s good faith determination of fair value based on other factors considered relevant. For assets classified as Level 3, valuations are based on various factors including financial and operating data of the company, company specific developments, market valuations of comparable companies and model projections.
The fair value of 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 Schedule of Investments and are valued in accordance with ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements. 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 Schedule of Investments represents the commitment fee the fund earns on the undrawn amounts.
For the six months ended April 30, 2024, there were no significant changes to the Fund’s fair value methodologies.
Investment Transactions — Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date, the date the order to buy or sell is executed. 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, 2024, the Fund held 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 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.
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 year ended October 31) plus undistributed amounts, if any, from prior years.
The Fund evaluates tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Fund’s tax returns to determine whether it is “more-likely-than-not” (i.e., greater than 50.0%) that each tax position will be sustained upon examination by a taxing authority based on the technical merits of the position. Tax positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold are recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. Management has analyzed the Fund’s tax positions and has concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions for the open tax years (2020-2023). However, management’s conclusions regarding tax positions taken may be subject to review and adjustment at a later date based on factors including, but not limited to, examination by tax authorities, ongoing analysis of and changes to tax laws, regulations and interpretations thereof.
As of April 30, 2024, the Fund did not have a liability for any unrecognized tax benefits. The Fund recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the Statement of Operations. During the six months ended April 30, 2024, 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”).
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 conflict between Russia and Ukraine, the conflict between Hamas and Israel, rapid interest rate changes, heightened inflation, supply chain disruptions, geopolitical risks, economic sanctions and volatility in the banking and financial sectors have disrupted global economies and financial markets, and their prolonged economic impact is uncertain. Market, economic and political conditions and events are outside the Adviser’s control and could adversely affect the Fund’s operations and performance and the liquidity and value of the Fund’s investments and reduce the ability of the Fund to make attractive new investments.

| Credit Opportunities Portfolio | April 30, 2024 (Unaudited) |
| |
Leverage Risk — Leverage is a speculative technique that may expose the Fund to greater risk and increased costs. When leverage is used, the net asset value 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.
Second Lien Risk — Investments in second lien loans and “last out” pieces of unitranche loans will be junior in priority to the first lien loans and “first out” piece of the same unitranche loan with respect to payment of principal, interest and other amounts. Consequently, the fact that debt is secured does not guarantee that we will receive principal and interest payments according to the debt’s terms, or at all, or that we will be able to collect on the debt should it be forced to enforce its remedies.
Liquidity Risk — A particular investment may be difficult to purchase or sell. The Fund may be unable to sell illiquid securities at an advantageous time or price.
Prepayment and Extension Risk — The Fund’s investments are subject to the risk that the investments may be paid off earlier or later than expected. Either situation could cause the Fund to hold investments paying lower than market rates of interest, which could hurt the Fund’s yield or share price.
High Yield Risk — High yield securities and unrated securities of similar credit quality (sometimes called junk bonds) that the Fund may invest in are subject to greater levels of credit and liquidity risks. High yield securities are considered primarily speculative with respect to the issuer’s continuing ability to make principal and interest payments.
Foreign Investment Risk — The Fund’s investments in securities of foreign issuers may involve certain risks that are greater than those associated with investments in securities of U.S. issuers. These include risks of adverse changes in foreign economic, political, regulatory and other conditions; changes in currency exchange rates (the currencies will decline in value relative to the U.S. dollar or, in the case of hedging positions, the U.S. dollar will decline in value relative to the currency being hedged) or exchange control regulations (including limitations on currency movements and exchanges); differing accounting, auditing, financial reporting and legal standards and practices; differing securities market structures; and higher transaction costs. These risks may be heightened in connection with investments in emerging markets.
Issuer Risk — The value of securities may decline for a number of reasons that directly relate to the issuer, such as its financial strength, management performance, financial leverage and reduced demand for the issuer’s goods and services, as well as the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer and the value of its assets.
4. Agreements
Investment Advisory Agreement — The Adviser provides day-to-day portfolio management services to the Fund and has discretion to purchase and sell investments in accordance with the Fund’s objectives, policies, and restrictions. For the services it provides to the Fund, the Adviser receives an annual fee, payable monthly by the Fund, in an amount equal to 1.3% 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).
| | | | | | | | |
| Credit Opportunities Portfolio | April 30, 2024 (Unaudited) |
| |
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, 2024, the Adviser earned an Investment Advisory Fee of $6.0 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 extended term ending on February 28, 2025. 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, 2024, the amount of Expense Limitation Payments since the inception of the Fund provided by the Adviser was $4.2 million and the Reimbursement Payments to the Adviser was $0.4 million. The Fund’s management believes that Reimbursement Payments of the remaining Expense Limitation Payments were not probable as of April 30, 2024.
The following table reflects the Expense Limitation Payments that may become subject to reimbursement (in thousands):
| | | | | | | | |
For the period ended | Amount of Expense Limitation Payment | Eligible for Reimbursement Payment through |
| | |
October 31, 2021 | $ | 276 | | October 31, 2024 |
October 31, 2022 | 467 | | October 31, 2025 |

Distributor — 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 and Class PT shares purchased by their clients. The Distributor does not retain any portion of the sales load. Class T shares and Class PT shares are sold subject to a maximum sales load of up to 2.0% and 3.0% of the offering price, respectively. However, purchases of Class T shares and Class PT 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 shares, Class I shares, Class U shares, and Class PI shares are not subject to a sales load; however, investors could be required to pay brokerage commissions on purchases and sales of Class D shares, Class I shares, Class U shares, and Class PI 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, Class U shares, and Class PT 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, Class U shares, and Class PT shares. During the six months ended April 30, 2024, the Fund incurred Shareholder Servicing Fees of $2.8 thousand, $36.5 thousand, and $514.8 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, Class U shares, and Class PT shares. The Distribution Fee is for the sale and marketing of the Class T shares, Class U shares, and Class PT 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, Class U shares, and Class PT shares. During the six months ended April 30, 2024, the Fund incurred distribution fees of $72.9 thousand and $1.0 million for Class T shares 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 and Class PI shares do not incur a Shareholder Servicing Fee or Distribution Fee, and Class D shares do not incur a Distribution Fee.
As of April 30, 2024, Class PI shares and Class PT shares have not commenced operations.
Administrator, Custodian and Transfer Agent — U.S. Bancorp Fund Services, LLC (“Fund Services” or “Administrator”), doing business as U.S. Bank Global Fund Services, serves as the Fund’s administrator pursuant to an administration agreement under which the Administrator provides administrative and accounting services.
U.S. Bank N.A. (the “Custodian”) serves as the Fund’s custodian pursuant to a custody agreement. The Custodian is an affiliate of Fund Services.
Fund Services serves as the Fund’s transfer agent pursuant to a transfer agency agreement.
Deferred Trustees’ Compensation — The Fund has a Deferred Trustees’ Compensation plan (the “Plan”) that allows the Independent Trustees to defer compensation to a future payment period. The compensation is invested in shares of the Fund. The value of a participating Independent Trustee’s deferral account is based on the shares of deferred amounts as designated by the participating Independent Trustees. Changes in the value of the Independent Trustees’ deferral account are included in the Statement of Operations. The accrued obligations under the Plan, including unrealized appreciation (depreciation), are included on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
Other — Certain officers of the Fund are also officers of the Adviser. Such officers are not paid by the Fund for serving as officers of the Fund.

(1)For the assets that have more than one valuation technique, the Fund may rely on the techniques individually or in aggregate based on a weight ascribed to each one ranging from 0.0%-100.0%. When determining the weighting ascribed to each valuation methodology, the Fund considers, among other factors, the availability of direct market comparables, the applicability of a discounted cash flow analysis and the expected hold period and manner of realization for the investment. These factors can result in different weightings among the investments and in certain instances, may result in up to a 100.0% weighting to a single methodology.
(2)The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Fund’s assets and liabilities may include the last twelve months (“LTM”) EBITDA multiple, weighted average cost of capital, discount margin, probability of default, loss severity and constant prepayment rate. In determining certain of these inputs, management evaluates a variety of factors including economic, industry and market trends and developments, market valuations of comparable companies, and company specific developments including potential exit strategies and

| |
realization opportunities. Significant increases or decreases in any of these inputs in isolation could result in significantly lower or higher fair value measurement.
(3)Weighted average amounts are based on the estimated fair values.
(4)An increase in the constant prepayment rate would decrease the fair value of a security trading above par and increase the fair value of a security trading below par.
6. Investment Transactions

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 no 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 no 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, 2024, 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 (in thousands) | Number of Shares Repurchased (all classes) | Percentage of Outstanding Shares Repurchased |
| | | | | | |
1/12/2024 | 10% | 1/12/2024 | $ | 23.17 | | $ | 8,477 | | 370,887 | 1.2% |
4/12/2024 | 10% | 4/12/2024 | $ | 23.70 | | $ | 14,970 | | 636,339 | 2.0% |
| | | | | | |
| | | | | | |
| | | | | | |
| | | | | | |
(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, 2024, total unfunded commitments on these credit agreements were $9.7 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.
As of October 31, 2023, the Fund’s most recent fiscal year end, the permanent differences reclassified (to)/from Accumulated Deficit and Paid-in Capital were not material to the Fund’s financial statements.

10. Borrowings
Credit facility: On July 13, 2023, the Fund entered into a multi-currency credit facility agreement (the “BNP Credit Facility”) with BNP Paribas SA to borrow up to $300.0 million, with options to increase the commitment in $5.0 million increments. Borrowings accrue interest based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate, or at a rate applicable to each currency’s borrowings, plus a spread of 1.95%. Commitment fees accrue daily at a rate of 0.35% or 0.65%, depending on the utilization levels. The BNP Credit Facility contains certain covenants that require the maintenance of ratios throughout the borrowing period. As of April 30, 2024, the Fund is in compliance with these covenants.The initial term of the BNP Credit Facility ends on July 13, 2025, with an option to extend the term. The fair value of the BNP Credit Facility approximates its 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.
The components of interest expense, average interest rates (i.e., base interest rate in effect plus the spread), and average borrowings for the BNP Credit Facility during the six months ended April 30, 2024 were as follows (in thousands):
| | | | | |
Stated interest expense | $ | 8,156 | |
Unused commitment fees | 112 | |
Amortization of deferred financing costs | 156 | |
Total interest expense | $ | 8,424 | |
Weighted average interest rate | 6.92 | % |
Average borrowings | $ | 236,912 | |

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.
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, 2024, the Fund had no reverse repurchase agreements outstanding under the MRA.
