Item 1. Report to Shareholders.

Jackson Credit Opportunities Fund

Neuberger Berman Investment Advisers LLC (Unaudited)

For the period December 1, 2023 through March 31, 2024, Jackson Credit Opportunities Fund underperformed its primary benchmark by posting a return of 5.16% for Class I shares compared to 5.26% for the ICE BofA U.S. High Yield Constrained Index.

The Fund’s exposure across the credit spectrum was additive during the period given a general “risk-on” tone to end the year and to start 2024. More specifically for the period the top three contributors to performance were high yield, emerging markets debt, and senior floating rate loans. Investment grade credit, global government bonds, and collateralized loan obligations saw more muted returns during the period.

The Fund’s strategy is to allocate to opportunities across both the liquid and less liquid credit markets to seek to build the optimal credit investment portfolio. The experienced management team for the Fund can leverage resources from the broad fixed income organization of over 195 investment professionals. Within the strategy there is no permanent sector bias as the Fund uses a relative value asset allocation framework to make significant shifts in the Fund risk profile to seek to take advantage of various market conditions. Investment decisions are driven by the team’s view of estimated excess return relative to anticipated volatility.

(a) Security has a variable rate. Interest rates reset periodically. Rate stated was in effect as of March 31, 2024. For securities based on a published reference rate and spread, the reference rate and spread are presented. Certain variable rate securities do not indicate a reference rate and spread because they are determined by the issuer, remarketing agent, or offering documents and are based on current market conditions. The coupon rate for securities with certain features outlined in the offering documents may vary from the stated reference rate and spread. This includes, but is not limited to, securities with deferred rates, contingent distributions, caps, floors, and fixed-rate to float-rate features. In addition, variable rates for government and agency collateralized mortgage obligations (“CMO”) and mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”) are determined by tranches of underlying mortgage-backed security pools’ cash flows into securities and pass-through rates which reflect the rate earned on the asset pool after management and guarantee fees are paid to the securitizing corporation. CMO and MBS variable rates are determined by a formula set forth in the security’s offering documents.

Notes to Financial Statements

March 31, 2024

NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION

Jackson Credit Opportunities Fund (“Fund”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), as a non-diversified, closed-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust on June 8, 2023. The Fund has elected to operate as an interval fund. The Fund engages in a continuous offering of shares and will offer to make quarterly repurchases of shares at net asset value ("NAV"), reduced by any applicable repurchase fee.

Jackson National Asset Management, LLC (“JNAM”, “Adviser” or “Administrator”), an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Jackson Financial Inc. (“Jackson”), serves as investment adviser and administrator to the Fund.

Neuberger Berman Investment Advisers LLC ("Sub-Adviser") serves as Sub-Adviser for the Fund.

Pursuant to exemptive relief, the Fund is authorized to offer two share classes, Class A and Class I. As of March 31, 2024, only Class I shares are available for purchase. Class A shares and Class I shares differ primarily due to the Shareholder Servicing Fee attributable to Class A shares. Shareholders bear the common expenses of the Fund and earn income and realized gains/losses from the Fund pro rata based on the average daily net assets of each class. From time to time, the Fund may have significant subscription and redemption activity which, when executed at the NAV rounded to two decimals, can impact the NAV per share of either class and cause a divergence in the NAV between each class. Each share class also has different voting rights on matters affecting a single class. No class has preferential dividend rights.

NOTE 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Fund is an investment company and follows accounting and reporting guidance under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 946, “Financial Services-Investment Companies”. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).

Security Valuation. Under the Fund's valuation policy and procedures (“Valuation Policies and Procedures”), the Fund’s Board of Trustees ("Board" or "Trustees") has designated to the Adviser the responsibility for carrying out certain functions relating to the valuation of portfolio securities for the purpose of determining the NAV of the Fund. The Adviser has established a Valuation Committee (the “Valuation Committee”) that is charged with the responsibilities set forth in the Valuation Policies and Procedures. The Valuation Committee is responsible for determining fair valuations for any security for which market quotations are not readily available. For those securities fair valued under procedures approved by the Board, the Valuation Committee reviews and affirms the reasonableness of the fair valuation determinations after considering all relevant information that is reasonably available. The Valuation Committee’s fair valuation determinations are subject to review by the Board.

The NAV of the Fund’s shares is generally determined once each day on which the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) is open, at the close of the regular trading session of the NYSE (normally, 4:00 PM Eastern Time, Monday through Friday). The NAV of the Fund’s shares may also not be determined on days designated by the Board or on days designated by the SEC. However, consistent with legal requirements, calculation of the Fund’s NAV may be suspended on days determined by the Board during times of NYSE market closure, which may include times during which the SEC issues policies or protocols associated with such closure pursuant to Section 22(e) of the 1940 Act. In the event that the NYSE is closed unexpectedly or opens for trading but closes earlier than scheduled, the Fund’s Valuation Committee will evaluate if trading activity on other U.S. exchanges and markets for equity securities is considered reflective of normal market activity. To the extent an NYSE closure is determined to be accompanied by a disruption of normal market activity, the Valuation Committee may utilize the time the NYSE closed for purposes of measuring and calculating the Fund's NAV. To the extent an NYSE closure is determined to not have resulted in a disruption of normal market activity, the valuation committee may utilize the time the NYSE was scheduled to close for purposes of measuring and calculating the Fund's NAV.

Equity securities are generally valued at the official closing price of the exchange where the security is principally traded. If there is no official closing price for the security on the valuation date, the security may be valued at the most recent sale or quoted bid price prior to close. Stocks not listed on a national or foreign stock exchange may be valued at the closing bid price on the over the counter (“OTC”) market. Investments in mutual funds are valued at the NAV per share determined as of the close of the NYSE on each valuation date.The Adviser has retained an independent statistical fair value pricing service to assist in the fair valuation process for equities traded in foreign markets in order to adjust for possible changes in value that may occur between the close of the foreign exchange and the time at which the NAVs are determined. When fair valuing foreign equity securities, the Adviser adjusts the closing prices of foreign portfolio equity securities (except foreign equity securities traded in North America and South America) based upon pricing models provided by a third-party vendor in order to reflect the “fair value” of such securities for purposes of determining the Fund's NAV. Foreign equity securities traded in North America and South America may be fair valued utilizing international adjustment factors in response to local market holidays, exchange closures, or other events as deemed necessary in order to reflect the “fair value” of such securities for purposes of determining the Fund's NAV. Debt obligations with remaining maturities of 60 days or less, and that did not receive a price from a third-party pricing service, or it is determined that such valuation from the pricing service does not approximate fair value, may be valued at their amortized cost, unless it is determined that such practice does not approximate fair value. Debt and derivative securities are generally valued by independent pricing services approved by the Board. Pricing services utilized to value debt and derivative instruments may use various pricing techniques which take into account appropriate factors such as: yield; credit quality; coupon rate; maturity; type of issue; trading characteristics; call features; credit ratings; broker quotes; tranche seniority, catastrophe perils and loss estimates, maturity extensions; and other relevant data. Term loans are generally valued at the composite bid prices provided by approved pricing services. Private Investment Funds (Private Funds) are generally valued using the latest NAV reported by the third-party fund manager or General Partner as a practical expedient to estimate the fair value of such interests. Private debt is generally fair valued according to procedures approved by the Board, which take into account factors such as the size of the holding, the nature and duration of the securities and the volume and depth of trading, among others. Futures contracts traded on an exchange are generally valued at the exchange’s settlement price. If the settlement price is not available, exchange traded futures are valued at the last sales price as of the close of business on the primary exchange. Options traded on an exchange are generally valued

Jackson Credit Opportunities Fund

Notes to Financial Statements

March 31, 2024

at the last traded price as of the close of business on the local exchange. If the last trade is determined to not be representative of fair value, exchange traded options are valued at the current day’s mid-price. Forward foreign currency contracts are generally valued at the foreign currency exchange rate as of the close of the NYSE. If pricing services are unable to provide valuations, OTC derivatives are valued at the most recent bid quotation or evaluated price, as applicable, obtained from a broker/dealer or by pricing models using observable inputs. Swap agreements that clear on exchanges are valued at the most recent bid quotation or evaluated price, as applicable, obtained from pricing models or by the clearing exchange using observable inputs.

Market quotations may not be readily available for certain investments or it may be determined that a quotation of an investment does not represent fair value. In such instances, the investment is valued as determined in good faith using procedures approved by the Board. Situations that may require an investment to be fair valued may include instances where a security is thinly traded, halted or restricted as to resale. In addition, investments may be fair valued based on the occurrence of a significant event. Significant events may be specific to a particular issuer, such as mergers, restructurings or defaults. Alternatively, significant events may affect an entire market, such as natural disasters, government actions, and significant changes in the value of U.S. securities markets. Securities are fair valued based on observable and unobservable inputs, including the Adviser’s or Valuation Committee’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of an investment. Under the procedures approved by the Board, the Adviser may utilize pricing services or other sources, including the Fund’s Sub-Adviser, to assist in determining the fair value of an investment. Factors considered to determine fair value may include fundamental analytical data relating to the security; the nature and duration of restrictions, if any, on the disposition of the security; trading volume on markets, exchanges, or among dealers; evaluation of the forces which influence the market in which the security is traded; the type of security; the financial statements of the issuer, or other financial information about the issuer; the cost of the security at its date of purchase; the size of the Fund’s holding; the discount from market value of unrestricted securities of the same class, if applicable, at the time of purchase or at a later date; reports prepared by analysts; information as to any transactions in or offers for the security; the existence of any merger proposal, tender offer or other extraordinary event relating to the security; the price and extent of public or dealer trading in similar securities or derivatives of the issuer or of comparable companies; trading in depositary receipts; foreign currency exchange activity; changes in the interest rate environment; trading prices of financial products that are tied to baskets of foreign securities; and any other matters considered relevant.

If an investment is valued at a fair value for purposes of calculating the Fund’s NAV, the value may be different from the last quoted price for the investment depending on the source and method used to determine the value. Although there can be no assurance, in general, the fair value of the investment is the amount the owner of such investment might reasonably expect to receive in an orderly transaction between market participants upon its current sale.

Distributions to Shareholders. The Fund intends to qualify as and be eligible to be treated each year as a Regulated Investment Company (“RIC”) under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). The Fund intends to distribute at least 90% of the sum of its investment company taxable income (as the term is defined in the Code) and any net tax-exempt interest income for such year. Dividends from net investment income are accrued daily and paid quarterly. Distributions of net realized capital gains, if any, are distributed at least annually, to the extent they exceed available capital loss carryforwards. Nevertheless, there can be no assurance that the Fund will pay distributions to Shareholders at any particular rate or at all. Each year, a statement on Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) Form 1099-DIV identifying the amount and character of the Fund’s distributions will be mailed to Shareholders.

Other Service Providers. State Street Bank and Trust Company (“State Street” or "Custodian") acts as custodian and securities lending agent for the Fund. The Custodian has custody of all securities and cash of the Fund maintained in the United States and attends to the collection of principal and income and payment for and collection of proceeds of securities bought and sold by the Fund.

The Fund has entered into a Transfer Agency Agreement with UMB Fund Services, Inc. UMB Fund Services, Inc. is the transfer agent and dividend disbursing agent of all shares.

Security Transactions and Investment Income. Security transactions are recorded on the trade date for financial reporting purposes. Realized gains and losses are determined on the specific identification basis. Dividend income, net of applicable withholding taxes, is recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Corporate actions involving foreign securities, including dividends, are recorded when the information becomes available. Income received in lieu of dividends for securities loaned is included in Dividends in the Statement of Operations. Interest income, including effective-yield amortization of discounts and premiums on debt securities and convertible bonds, is accrued daily. The Fund may place a debt obligation on non-accrual status and reduce related interest income, and value, by ceasing current accruals and writing off interest receivables when the collection of all or a portion of interest has become doubtful. A debt obligation is removed from non-accrual status when the issuer resumes interest payments or when collectability of interest is reasonably assured. Distributions from Private Funds that represent returns of capital in excess of cumulative profits and losses are credited to cost of investments rather than investment income.

Expenses. Expenses are recorded on an accrual basis. Expenses of the Fund are allocated to the classes based on the average daily net assets of each class. Expenses attributable to a specific class of shares are charged to that class.

Foreign Taxes. The Fund may be subject to foreign taxes on income, gains on investments or foreign currency purchases and repatriation, a portion of which may be recoverable. The Fund will accrue such taxes and recoveries as applicable, based upon the current interpretations of tax rules and regulations that exist in the markets in which the Fund invests. When a capital gains tax is determined to apply, the Fund will record an estimated tax liability in an amount that may be payable if the securities were disposed of on the valuation date.

Foreign Currency Translations. The accounting records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. Each business day, the fair values of foreign securities, currency holdings and other assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are translated into U.S. dollars based on current exchange

Jackson Credit Opportunities Fund

Notes to Financial Statements

March 31, 2024

rates. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income receipts and expense payments are translated into U.S. dollars based on the respective exchange rates prevailing on the dates of such transactions. The Fund does not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of foreign securities. Such fluctuations are included in Net realized gain (loss) on Investments - unaffiliated and Net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on Investments - unaffiliated, respectively, in the Statement of Operations.

Net realized gains and losses on foreign currency related items are considered ordinary income for tax purposes and arise from sales of foreign currencies; currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions; the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest and foreign withholding taxes recorded and the U.S. dollar amounts actually received or paid; and the realized gains or losses resulting from portfolio and transaction hedges. Net unrealized gain or loss on foreign currency related items include gains and losses from changes in the value of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities, resulting from changes in currency exchange rates.

Guarantees and Indemnifications. In the normal course of business, the Fund may enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations which provide general indemnifications for certain liabilities. 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. However, since the commencement of operations, the Fund has not had claims or losses pursuant to its contracts and expects the risk of loss to be remote. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown since the amount of any future claims that may be made against the Fund cannot be determined and the Fund has no historical basis for predicting the likelihood of any such claims.

Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements. In March 2020, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. The guidance provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contract modifications and hedging relationships, subject to meeting certain criteria, that reference the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) or another reference rate expected to be discontinued due to reference rate reform. The amendments in this update are elective and may be applied through December 31, 2024. Management has evaluated the amendments and determined that they will not have a significant impact on the Fund's financial statements.

In June 2022, FASB issued ASU 2022-03, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions. The amendments in the ASU clarify guidance in Topic 820 when measuring the fair value of equity securities subject to contractual restrictions prohibiting their sale and introduce new disclosure requirements for these securities. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023. Management has evaluated the amendments and determined that they will not have a significant impact on the Fund's financial statements.

NOTE 3. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT

FASB ASC Topic 820 establishes a single authoritative definition of fair value, sets out a framework for measuring fair value and requires additional disclosures about fair value measurements. Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund’s investments under this guidance. The inputs are summarized into three broad categories:

Level 1 includes valuations based on quoted prices of identical securities in active markets, including valuations for securities listed on national or foreign stock exchanges, futures and options contracts listed on derivatives exchanges or investments in mutual funds.

Level 2 includes valuations determined from significant direct or indirect observable inputs. Direct observable inputs include broker quotes, third-party prices, closing prices of similar securities in active markets, closing prices for identical or similar securities in non-active markets or corporate action or reorganization entitlement values. Indirect significant observable inputs include factors such as interest rates, yield curves, prepayment speeds or credit ratings. Level 2 includes valuations for fixed income securities, including certain term loans, OTC derivatives, centrally cleared swap agreements, broker quotes in active markets, securities subject to corporate actions, securities valued at amortized cost, international equity securities priced by an independent statistical fair value pricing service, swap agreements valued by pricing services, ADRs and GDRs for which quoted prices in active markets are not available or securities limited by foreign ownership.

Level 3 includes valuations determined from significant unobservable inputs including the Adviser's own assumptions in determining the fair value of the investment. Inputs used to determine the fair value of Level 3 securities include security specific inputs such as: credit quality, credit rating spreads, issuer news, trading characteristics, call features, maturity or anticipated cash flows; tranche seniority, catastrophe perils and loss estimates, maturity extensions; or industry specific inputs such as: trading activity of similar markets or securities, changes in the security’s underlying index or changes in comparable securities’ models. Level 3 valuations include securities, currency exchange rates and forward foreign currency contracts where forward rates are not available; term loans that do not meet certain liquidity thresholds; securities where prices may be unavailable due to halted trading, restricted to resale due to market events, or newly issued; private placements; or investments for which reliable quotes are otherwise not available.

Inputs used in the determination of the fair value level of Level 3 securities, which were deemed to be material, are disclosed within the notes below and are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

NOTE 4. SECURITIES AND OTHER INVESTMENTS

Unregistered Securities. The Fund may own certain investment securities that are unregistered and thus restricted to resale. These securities may also be referred to as “private placements”. Unregistered securities may be classified as “illiquid” because there is no readily available market for sale of the securities. Where future dispositions of the securities require registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Fund has the right to include those securities in such registration generally without cost to the Fund. The Fund has no right to require registration of unregistered securities.

Senior and Junior Loans. The Fund may invest in Senior loans or secured and unsecured subordinated loans, second lien loans and subordinated bridge loans (“Junior loans”) which are purchased or sold on a when-issued or delayed-delivery basis and may be settled a month or more after the trade date. Interest income on these loans is accrued based on the terms of the securities. Senior and Junior loans can be acquired through an agent, by assignment from another holder of the loan, or as a participation interest in another holder’s portion of the loan.

NOTE 5. PRINCIPAL RISKS

Unlisted Closed-End Structure and Liquidity Limited to Quarterly Repurchases of Shares Risk. The Fund has been organized as a non-diversified, closed-end management investment company. Closed-end funds differ from open-end management investment companies in that investors in a closed-end fund do not have the right to redeem their shares on a daily basis. Unlike most closed-end funds, which typically list their shares on a

Jackson Credit Opportunities Fund

Notes to Financial Statements

March 31, 2024

securities exchange, the Fund does not intend to list the shares for trading on any securities exchange, and the Fund does not expect any secondary market to develop for the shares. The Fund will offer only a limited degree of liquidity by conducting quarterly repurchase offers, which are generally expected to be for 5% of the Fund’s outstanding shares. There is no assurance that the Fund will repurchase shares in the amount desired. In addition, with very limited exceptions, shares are not transferable, and liquidity will be provided only through repurchase offers made quarterly by the Fund. Shares are considerably less liquid than shares of funds that trade on a stock exchange or shares of open-end registered investment companies.

There will be a substantial period of time between the date as of which shareholders must submit a request to have their shares repurchased and the date they can expect to receive payment for their shares from the Fund. Shareholders whose shares are accepted for repurchase bear the risk that the Fund’s net asset value may fluctuate significantly between the time that they submit their repurchase requests and the date as of which such shares are valued for purposes of such repurchase.

Repurchase Offers Risk. The Fund currently expects to conduct quarterly repurchase offers for no less than 5% of its outstanding shares. Substantial requests for the Fund to repurchase shares could require the Fund to liquidate certain of its investments more rapidly than otherwise desirable. In the event that a repurchase offer is oversubscribed, the Fund will repurchase tendered shares on a pro rata basis. Shareholders may be unable to liquidate all or a given percentage of their investment in the Fund during a particular repurchase offer.

Credit and Counterparty Risk. In the normal course of business, the Fund trades financial instruments and enters into financial transactions where the risk of potential loss exists due to failure of the other party to a transaction to perform (“credit risk”). Bonds and other debt securities are subject to credit risk, which is the possibility that the credit strength of an issuer will weaken and/or an issuer of a debt security will fail to make timely payments of principal or interest and the security will go into default. Similar to credit risk, the Fund may be exposed to counterparty risk, or the risk that an institution or other entity with which the Fund has unsettled, or open transactions will default. Financial assets, which potentially expose the Fund to credit risk, consist principally of investments and cash due from counterparties (“counterparty risk”). The extent of the Fund's exposure to credit and counterparty risks in respect to these financial assets is incorporated within its carrying value as recorded in the Fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities. For certain derivative contracts (including futures and certain swaps), the potential loss could exceed the value of the financial assets recorded in the financial statements for the Fund.

Interest Rate Risk. When interest rates increase, fixed-income securities generally will decline in value. A wide variety of factors can cause interest rates to rise such as central bank monetary policies, inflation rates and general economic conditions. Fixed-income securities with longer durations tend to be more sensitive to changes in interest rates than those with shorter durations. Recently, there have been inflationary price movements, which have caused the fixed income securities markets to experience heightened levels of interest rate volatility and liquidity risk.

Senior and Junior Loan Risk. When the Fund invests in a loan or participation, the Fund is subject to the risk that an intermediate participant between the Fund and the borrower will fail to meet its obligations to the Fund, in addition to the risk that the borrower under the loan may default on its obligations. Senior and Junior loans typically are of below investment grade quality and have below investment grade credit ratings, which ratings are associated with securities having high risk and speculative characteristics. The Fund is also subject to the risk that the agent bank administering the loan may fail to meet its obligations.

Inflation Risk. Inflation risk is the risk that the value of assets or income from investments will be worth less in the future as inflation decreases the value of money. As inflation increases, the real value of the Fund’s shares and distributions thereon can decline. Inflation risk is linked to increases in the prices of goods and services and a decrease in the purchasing power of money. Recently, inflation has risen at its highest rate in four decades in the U.S. Inflation may reduce the intrinsic value of an investment in the Fund.

Catastrophe Bonds Risk. A Catastrophe ("CAT") Bond is a form of insurance-linked security that is sold in the capital markets. An investment in CAT Bonds is subject to special risks, including limited resources of issuers, regulation, subordination and lower or no credit rating. CAT Bonds are a way for insurers, reinsurers, corporations and government entities that have risks associated with natural catastrophe events and disasters to transfer those risks to the capital market in securities format.

Liquidity and Valuation Risk. The securities in which the Fund invests will often be illiquid and may include other funds that will typically hold one or just a few investments. Valuations reported by other fund managers, which will form the basis for the Fund’s NAV, may be subject to later adjustment or revision. Valuations of Private Funds are inherently uncertain, may fluctuate over short periods of time, and may be based on estimates. The Adviser has engaged the services of a third-party pricing service to assist its valuations of Fund investments in certain circumstances.

Convertible Securities Risk. A convertible security tends to perform more like a stock when the underlying stock price is high and more like a debt security when the underlying stock price is low. A convertible security is not as sensitive to interest rate changes as a similar non-convertible debt security, and generally has less potential for gain or loss than the underlying stock.

Market and Volatility Risk. In the normal course of business, the Fund trades financial instruments and enters into financial transactions where the risk of potential loss exists due to changes in the market (“market risk”). Additionally, prices of financial instruments may fluctuate over short periods or extended periods of time in response to company, market, economic or political news (“volatility risk”). Equity securities generally have more price volatility than fixed-income securities, and long term fixed-income securities normally have more price volatility than short term fixed-income securities. The Fund may invest in derivatives to hedge the Fund's portfolio as well as for investment purposes which may increase volatility. Volatility may cause the Fund's NAV to experience significant appreciation or depreciation in value over short periods of time.

Foreign Securities Risk. Investments in, or exposure to, foreign securities involve risks not typically associated with U.S. investments. These risks include, among others, adverse fluctuations in foreign currency values, possible imposition of foreign withholding or other taxes on income payable on the

Jackson Credit Opportunities Fund

Notes to Financial Statements

March 31, 2024

securities, as well as adverse political, social and economic developments, such as political upheaval, acts of terrorism, financial troubles, sanctions or the threat of new or modified sanctions, or natural disasters. Many foreign securities markets, especially those in emerging market countries, are less stable, smaller, less liquid, and less regulated than U.S. securities markets, and the costs of trading in those markets is often higher than in U.S. securities markets. There may also be less publicly available information about issuers of foreign securities compared to issuers of U.S. securities. In addition, the economies of certain foreign markets may not compare favorably with the economy of the United States with respect to issues such as growth of gross national product, reinvestment of capital, resources and balance of payments position.

Emerging Market Securities Risk. Investing in securities of emerging market countries generally involves greater risk than investing in foreign securities in developed markets. Emerging market countries typically have economic and political systems that are less fully developed and are likely to be less stable than those in more advanced countries. These risks include the potential for government intervention, adverse changes in earnings and business prospects, liquidity, credit and currency risks, and price volatility. The Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, which regulates auditors of U.S. public companies, is unable to inspect audit work papers in certain foreign countries. Investors in foreign countries often have limited rights and few practical remedies to pursue shareholder claims, including class actions or fraud claims, and the ability of the SEC, the U.S. Department of Justice and other authorities to bring and enforce actions against foreign issuers or foreign persons is limited.

Investments in Other Companies Risk. Investments in other investment companies, including exchange-traded funds, are subject to market risk. In addition, if the Fund acquires shares of investment companies, including ones affiliated with the Fund, shareholders bear both their proportionate share of expenses in the Fund (including management and advisory fees) and, indirectly, the expenses of the investment companies in which the Fund invests. To the extent that shares of the Fund are held by an affiliated fund, the ability of the Fund itself to invest in other investment companies may be limited.

Cybersecurity Risk. Cyber-attacks could disrupt daily operations related to trading and portfolio management. In addition, technology disruptions and cyber-attacks may impact the operations or securities prices of an issuer or a group of issuers, and thus may have an adverse impact on the value of the Fund’s investments. Cyber-attacks on the Fund and service providers could cause business failures or delays in daily processing and the Fund may need to delay transactions, consistent with regulatory requirements, as a result and could impact the performance of the Fund.

Leverage Risk. The Fund may enter into a short position through a futures contract, an option or swap agreement or through short sales of any instrument that the Fund may purchase for investment. Taking short positions may involve leverage of the Fund’s assets. If the value of the underlying instrument or market in which the Fund has taken a short position increases, then the Fund will incur a loss equal to the increase in value from the time that the short position was entered into plus any related interest payments or other fees. Taking short positions involves the risk that losses may be disproportionate, may exceed the amount invested, and may be unlimited.

Private Funds Risk. The Private Funds will not be subject to the 1940 Act, nor will they be publicly traded. As a result, the Fund’s investments in the Private Funds will not be subject to the protections afforded to shareholders under the 1940 Act. By investing in the Private Funds indirectly through the Fund, a shareholder bears two layers of asset-based fees and expenses – at the Fund level and the Private Fund level – in addition to indirectly bearing any performance fees charged by the Private Fund. Given the limited liquidity of the Private Funds, the Fund may not be able to alter its portfolio allocation in sufficient time to respond to any such changes, resulting in substantial losses from risks of Private Funds.

Currency Risk. Investing directly in foreign currencies or in securities that trade in, and receive revenues in, foreign currencies, or in financial derivatives that provide exposure to foreign currencies, involves the risk that those currencies will decline in value relative to the base currency of the Fund, or, in the case of hedging positions, that the Fund’s base currency will decline in value relative to the currency being hedged. Currency rates in foreign countries may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time or currencies may become illiquid for a number of reasons, including changes in interest rates, general economics of a country, actions (or inaction) of the U.S. Government or banks, foreign governments, central banks or supranational entities such as the International Monetary Fund, or the imposition of currency controls or other political developments in the U.S. or abroad.

NOTE 6. INVESTMENT TRANSACTION AGREEMENTS AND COLLATERAL

Under various agreements, certain investment transactions require collateral to be pledged to or from the Fund and a counterparty or segregated at the custodian and the collateral is managed pursuant to the terms of the agreement. U.S. Treasury Bills and U.S. dollar cash are generally the preferred forms of collateral, although other forms of high quality or sovereign securities may be used. Securities held by the Fund that are used as collateral are identified as such within the Schedule of Investments.

Master Netting Agreements (“Master Agreements”). The Fund is subject to various Master Agreements, which govern the terms of certain transactions and mitigate the counterparty risk associated with relevant transactions by specifying credit protection mechanisms and providing standardization that improves legal certainty. Because different types of financial transactions have different mechanics and are sometimes traded out of different legal entities of a particular counterparty organization, each type of transaction may be covered by a different Master Agreement, potentially resulting in the need for multiple agreements with a single counterparty. The Fund may net exposure and collateralize multiple transaction types governed by the same Master Agreement with the same counterparty and may close out and net its total exposure to a counterparty in the event of a default and/or termination event with respect to all the transactions governed under a single agreement with a counterparty. Each Master Agreement defines whether the Fund is contractually able to net settle daily payments. Additionally, certain circumstances, such as laws of a particular jurisdiction or settlement of amounts due in different currencies, may prohibit or restrict the right of offset as defined in the Master Agreements.

Master Agreements also help limit credit and counterparty risk by specifying collateral posting arrangements at pre-arranged exposure levels. Under the Master Agreements, collateral is routinely transferred if the total net exposure to certain transactions (net of existing collateral) governed under the relevant master agreement with a counterparty in a given account exceeds a specified threshold depending on the counterparty and the type of Master Agreement. The Fund’s overall exposure to counterparty risk can change substantially within a short period, as it is affected by each transaction subject to

Jackson Credit Opportunities Fund

Notes to Financial Statements

March 31, 2024

the relevant Master Agreement. To the extent amounts due to the Fund from its counterparties are not fully collateralized, contractually or otherwise, the Fund bears the risk of loss from counterparty non-performance. The Fund's Sub-Adviser attempts to limit counterparty risk by only entering into Master Agreements with counterparties that the Sub-Adviser believes to have the financial resources to honor their obligations and by monitoring the financial stability of those counterparties.

Customer Account Agreements. Customer Account Agreements and related addendums govern exchange traded or centrally cleared derivative transactions such as futures, options on futures and centrally cleared derivatives. If the Fund transacts in exchange traded or centrally cleared derivatives, the Sub-Adviser is a party to agreements with (1) a Futures Commissions Merchant (“FCM”) in which the FCM facilitates the execution of the exchange traded and centrally cleared derivative with the DCO and (2) with an executing broker/swap dealer to agree to the terms of the swap and resolution process in the event the centrally cleared swap is not accepted for clearing by the designated DCO. Exchange traded and centrally cleared derivatives transactions require posting an amount of cash or cash equivalents equal to a certain percentage of the contract amount known as the “initial margin” as determined by each relevant clearing agency and is segregated at an FCM which is registered with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”) or the applicable regulator. The Fund receives from, or pays to, the counterparty an amount of cash equal to the daily fluctuation in the value of the contracts. Such receipts or payments are known as the “variation margin”. For certain exchanges or DCOs, variation margin may include more than one day’s fluctuation in the value of the contracts. Variation margin on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities may include variation margin on closed unsettled derivative transactions. Variation margin received may not be netted between exchange traded and centrally cleared derivatives. In the event of default, counterparty risk is significantly reduced as creditors to the FCM do not have claim to the Fund’s assets in the segregated account. Additionally, portability of exposure in the event of default further reduces risk.

International Swaps and Derivatives Association Inc. Master Agreements and Credit Support Annexes (“ISDA Master Agreements”). ISDA Master Agreements govern OTC financial derivative transactions entered into by the Fund’s Sub-Adviser and select counterparties. The ISDA Master Agreements maintain provisions for general obligations, representations, agreements, events of default, termination and maintenance of collateral. Termination includes conditions that may entitle counterparties to elect to terminate early and cause settlement of all outstanding transactions under the applicable ISDA Master Agreement. Any election to early termination could be material to the financial statements. In the event of default, the total financial derivative value exposure will be offset against collateral exchanged to date, which would result in a net receivable/(payable) that would be due from/to the counterparty. The amount of collateral exchanged is based on provisions within the ISDA Master Agreements and is determined by the net exposure with the counterparty and is not identified for a specific OTC derivative instrument.

NOTE 7. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Futures Contracts. A futures contract is a standardized contract obligating two parties to exchange a specified asset at an agreed upon price and date. Variation margin is recorded by the Fund until the contracts are terminated at which time realized gains and losses are recognized. Futures contracts involve to varying degrees, risk of loss in excess of the variation margin recorded by the Fund. The primary risks associated with the use of futures contracts are the imperfect correlation between the change in value of the securities held by the Fund or the change in the value of an underlying entity and the prices of the futures contracts and the possibility the Fund may not be able to enter into a closing transaction because of an illiquid market. With futures, counterparty risk to the Fund is reduced because futures contracts are exchange traded and the exchange’s clearinghouse, acting as counterparty to all exchange traded futures, guarantees the futures contracts against default.

Forward Foreign Currency Contracts. A forward foreign currency contract is an agreement between two parties to buy and sell a currency at a set price on a future date. The use of forward foreign currency contracts does not eliminate fluctuations in the underlying prices of the Fund’s investment securities, but it does establish a fixed rate of currency exchange that can be achieved in the future. The value of a forward foreign currency contract fluctuates with changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Forward foreign currency contracts are marked-to-market daily and the change in value is recorded by the Fund as an unrealized gain or loss and as a receivable or payable from forward foreign currency contracts. Upon settlement, or delivery or receipt of the currency, a realized gain or loss is recorded which is equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. Forward foreign currency contracts involve market risk in excess of the receivable or payable related to forward foreign currency contracts recorded by the Fund. Although contracts limit the risk of loss due to a decline in the value of the hedged currency, they also limit any potential gain that might result should the value of the currency increase. Additionally, the Fund could be exposed to the risk of a previously hedged position becoming unhedged if the counterparty to a contract is unable to meet the terms of the contract or if the currency changes unfavorably to the value of the offsetting currency.

Derivatives and Hedging and Financial Instruments Eligible for Offset. FASB ASC Topic 815 includes the requirement for enhanced qualitative disclosures about objectives and strategies for using derivative instruments and disclosures regarding credit related contingent features in derivative instruments, as well as quantitative disclosures in the semi-annual and annual financial statements about fair value, gains and losses, and volume of activity for derivative instruments. Information about these instruments is disclosed in the context of each instrument’s primary underlying risk exposure which is categorized as credit, commodity, equity price, interest rate and foreign currency exchange rate risk. The following disclosures include: (1) Objectives and strategies for the Fund’s derivative investments during the period; (2) A summary table (in thousands) of the fair valuations of the Fund’s derivative instruments categorized by risk exposure, which references the location on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and the realized and unrealized gain or loss on the Statement of Operations for each derivative instrument as of March 31, 2024; (3) A summary table (in thousands) of derivative instruments and certain investments of the Fund, which are subject to master netting agreements or a similar agreement and are eligible for offset in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as of March 31, 2024; and (4) A table reflecting the Fund’s average monthly derivative volume (in thousands) for the period ended March 31, 2024.

NOTE 8. INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEES AND TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

Advisory Fees. The Fund has entered into an Investment Advisory and Management Agreement (“Investment Management Agreement”) with JNAM. Subject to the oversight of the Fund’s Board of Trustees, JNAM provides investment management services. Pursuant to the Investment Management Agreement, JNAM will receive an annual fee, accrued daily and payable monthly, at an annual rate of 1.60% on net assets between $0 - $1 billion and 1.55% on net assets over $1 billion.

Jackson Credit Opportunities Fund

Notes to Financial Statements

March 31, 2024

Administrative Fee. JNAM also serves as the Administrator to the Fund. JNAM provides or procures most of the necessary administrative functions and services for the operations of the Fund. The Fund pays JNAM an annual fee, accrued daily and paid monthly, at an annual rate of 0.25% on net assets between $0 - $3 billion and 0.22% on net assets over $3 billion. In accordance with the administration agreement, JNAM, at its own expense, arranges for legal, audit, fund accounting, transfer agency, custody (except overdraft and interest expense), printing and mailing, a portion of the Chief Compliance Officer costs, and other services necessary for the operation of the Fund. The Fund is responsible for trading expenses including brokerage commissions, interest and taxes, other non-operating expenses, licensing costs, directors and officers insurance, the fees and expenses of the disinterested Trustees (“Independent Trustees”) and independent legal counsel to the Independent Trustees, a portion of the costs associated with the Chief Compliance Officer, and other services necessary for the operation of the Fund, except those specifically allocated to the Administrator under the administration agreement.

Distribution Agreement. Jackson National Life Distributors LLC (the “Distributor”), an affiliate of the Adviser, serves as distributor of the Fund’s shares on a best-efforts basis pursuant to a distribution agreement (the “Distribution Agreement”) between the Fund and the Distributor.

Deferred Compensation Plan. The Fund adopted a Deferred Compensation Plan whereby an Independent Trustee may defer the receipt of all or a portion of their compensation. These deferred amounts, which remain as liabilities of the Fund, are treated as if invested and reinvested in shares of one or more funds at the discretion of the applicable Independent Trustee. These amounts represent general, unsecured liabilities of the Fund and vary according to the total returns of the selected funds. Liabilities related to deferred balances are included in Payable for Board of trustees fees in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Increases or decreases related to the changes in value of deferred balances are included in Board of trustees fees set forth in the Statement of Operations.

NOTE 9. REPURCHASE OFFERS

The Fund is a closed-end interval fund and, in order to provide liquidity to Shareholders, the Fund, subject to applicable law, will conduct quarterly repurchase offers of the Fund’s outstanding Shares at the applicable NAV per Share, subject to approval of the Board. In all cases such repurchases will be for at least 5% and not more than 25% of the Fund’s outstanding Shares at the applicable NAV per Share, pursuant to Rule 23c-3 under the 1940 Act. The Fund currently expects to conduct quarterly repurchase offers for no less than 5% of its outstanding Shares under ordinary circumstances. The Fund believes that these repurchase offers are generally beneficial to Shareholders, and repurchases generally will be funded from available cash or sales of portfolio securities. However, repurchase offers and the need to fund repurchase obligations may affect the ability of the Fund to be fully invested or force the Fund to maintain a higher percentage of its assets in liquid investments, which may harm the Fund’s investment performance. Moreover, diminution in the size of the Fund through repurchases may result in untimely sales of portfolio securities (with associated imputed transaction costs, which may be significant), and may limit the ability of the Fund to participate in new investment opportunities or to achieve its investment objective. The Fund may accumulate cash by holding back (i.e., not reinvesting) payments received in connection with the Fund’s investments. The Fund believes that payments received in connection with the Fund’s investments will generate sufficient cash to meet the maximum potential amount of the Fund’s repurchase obligations. If at any time cash and other liquid assets held by the Fund are not sufficient to meet the Fund’s repurchase obligations, the Fund intends, if necessary, to sell investments. If, as expected, the Fund employs investment leverage, repurchases of Shares would compound the adverse effects of leverage in a declining market. In addition, if the Fund borrows to finance repurchases, interest on that borrowing will negatively affect Shareholders who do not tender their Shares by increasing the Fund’s expenses and reducing any net investment income.

If a repurchase offer is oversubscribed, the Board may determine to increase the amount repurchased by up to 2% of the Fund’s outstanding Shares as of the date of the Repurchase Request Deadline. In the event that the Board determines not to repurchase more than the repurchase offer amount, or if Shareholders tender more than the repurchase offer amount plus 2% of the Fund’s outstanding Shares as of the date of the Repurchase Request Deadline, the Fund will repurchase the Shares tendered on a pro rata basis, and Shareholders will have to wait until the next repurchase offer to make another repurchase request. As a result, Shareholders may be unable to liquidate all or a given percentage of their investment in the Fund during a particular repurchase offer. Some Shareholders, in anticipation of proration, may tender more Shares than they wish to have repurchased in a particular quarter, thereby increasing the likelihood that proration will occur. A Shareholder may be subject to market and other risks, and the NAV per Share of Shares tendered in a repurchase offer may decline between the Repurchase Request Deadline and the date on which the NAV per Share for tendered Shares is determined. In addition, the repurchase of Shares by the Fund may be a taxable event to Shareholders.

During the period ended March 31, 2024, the Fund did not engage in any repurchase offers.

NOTE 10. INCOME TAX MATTERS

The Fund is treated as a separate tax payer for federal income tax purposes. The Fund intends to qualify as a RIC and to distribute substantially all net investment income and net capital gains, if any, to its shareholders and otherwise comply with Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, applicable to RICs. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required.

The following information is presented on an income tax basis (in thousands). Differences between amounts for financial statements and federal income tax purposes are primarily due to timing and character differences in recognizing certain gains and losses on investment transactions. Permanent differences between financial statement and federal income tax reporting are reclassified within the capital accounts based on their federal income tax treatment. Temporary differences do not require reclassification. Permanent differences may include but are not limited to the following: foreign currency reclassifications, premium amortization and paydown reclassifications, and adjustments related to complex securities. These reclassifications have no impact on net assets.

As of March 31, 2024, the cost of investments and the components of net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) (in thousands) for federal income tax purposes were as follows:

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Shareholders and Board of Trustees
Jackson Credit Opportunities Fund:

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Jackson Credit Opportunities Fund (the Fund), including the schedule of investments, as of March 31, 2024, the related statements of operations and changes in net assets for the period from December 1, 2023 (commencement of operations) to March 31, 2024, and the related notes (collectively, the financial statements) and the financial highlights for the period from December 1, 2023 to March 31, 2024. In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of March 31, 2024, the results of its operations and changes in its net assets for the period from December 1, 2023 to March 31, 2024, and the financial highlights for the period from December 1, 2023 to March 31, 2024, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements and financial highlights, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights. Such procedures also included confirmation of securities owned as of March 31, 2024, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements and financial highlights. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Additional Disclosures (Unaudited)

March 31, 2024

Disclosure of Fund Expenses. Shareholders incur ongoing costs, which include costs for portfolio management, administrative services, shareholder services and other operating expenses. Operating expenses such as these are deducted from the Fund’s gross income and directly reduce the final investment return. These expenses are expressed as a percentage of the Fund’s average net assets; this percentage is known as the Fund’s expense ratio. The examples below use the expense ratio and are intended to help the investor understand the ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the period shown and held for the entire period.

Expenses Using Actual Fund Return. This section provides information about the actual account values and actual expenses incurred by the Fund. Use the information in this section, together with the amount invested, to estimate the expenses paid over the period. Simply divide the account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading titled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses paid during this period.

Expenses Using Hypothetical 5% Return. This section provides information that can be used to compare the Fund’s costs with those of other mutual funds. It assumes that the Fund’s expense ratio for the period is unchanged and assumes an annual 5% return before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. This example is useful in making comparisons because the SEC requires all mutual funds to make the 5% calculation.

Jackson Credit Opportunities Fund

(the “Trust”)

APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENTS

The Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board”) oversees the management of the Trust and, as required by law, determines whether to approve the Trust’s advisory agreements (“Advisory Agreement”) with Jackson National Asset Management, LLC (“JNAM” or the “Adviser”) and the Trust’s Sub-Adviser(s) (“Sub-Advisory Agreement” or “Sub-Advisory Agreements,” as applicable, and, collectively with the Advisory Agreement, the “Agreements”).

At a meeting on August 29 - 31, 2023, the Board, including all of the independent trustees, who are not interested persons of the Trust (as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended) (the “Independent Trustees”), considered information relating to the proposed Advisory Agreement with JNAM and the proposed Sub-Advisory Agreement between JNAM and Neuberger Berman Investment Advisers LLC (“Neuberger Berman” or the “Sub-Adviser”).

In advance of the meeting, independent legal counsel for the Independent Trustees requested that certain information be provided to the Board relating to the Agreements. The Board received, and had the opportunity to review, this and other materials, ask questions and request further information in connection with its consideration of the Agreements. At the conclusion of the Board’s discussions, the Board approved the Agreements.

In reviewing the Agreements and considering the information, the Board was advised by independent legal counsel. The Board considered the factors it deemed relevant and the information provided by the Adviser and Sub-Adviser, including: (1) the nature, quality and extent of the services to be provided; (2) the investment performance of the Trust; (3) cost of services of the Trust; (4) profitability data; (5) whether economies of scale may be realized and shared, in some measure, with investors as the Trust grows; and (6) other benefits that may accrue to the Adviser or Sub-Adviser through its relationship with the Trust. In its deliberations, the Board, in exercising its business judgment did not identify any single factor that alone was responsible for the Board’s decision to approve the Agreements. Some of the factors that figured particularly in the Board's deliberations are described below, although individual Trustees may have evaluated the information presented differently from one another, attributing different weights to various factors.

Before approving the Agreements, the Independent Trustees met in executive session with their independent legal counsel to consider the materials provided by JNAM and the Sub-Adviser and to consider the terms of the Agreements. The Board, including the Independent Trustees, considered the data provided by the Adviser and concluded that sufficient information had been provided to allow them to evaluate the terms of the Agreements and the Trust’s proposed investment advisory fee. Based on its evaluation of those materials, the Board, including the interested and Independent Trustees, concluded that the Agreements are in the best interests of the potential shareholders of the Trust. In reaching its conclusions, the Board considered numerous factors, including the following:

Nature, Quality and Extent of Services

The Board examined the nature, quality and extent of the services provided and to be provided by JNAM and Neuberger Berman.

The Board considered the services to be provided by JNAM, including, but not limited to, the oversight of the Sub-Adviser, as well as the provision of recordkeeping and compliance services to the Trust. The Board also took into account that JNAM would monitor the performance of the various organizations that would provide services to the Trust, including the Trust’s distributor, transfer agent, and custodian. With respect to JNAM’s oversight of the Sub-Adviser, the Board noted that JNAM would be responsible for screening and recommending new sub-advisers when appropriate, as well as monitoring and reporting to the Board on a regular basis as to the performance and operations of the Trust’s Sub-Adviser.

The Board also considered the investment sub-advisory services to be provided by Neuberger Berman. The Board noted JNAM’s evaluation of the Sub-Adviser, as well as JNAM’s recommendations, based on its review of the Sub-Adviser, in connection with its approval of the Sub-Advisory Agreement. The Board also considered the various business-related risks JNAM faces as a result of managing the Trust, including entrepreneurial, legal and litigation risks, some of which may be significant.

The Board reviewed the qualifications, backgrounds and responsibilities of JNAM’s senior management that would be responsible for oversight of the Trust and the Sub-Adviser, and also reviewed the qualifications, backgrounds and responsibilities of the Sub-Adviser’s portfolio managers who would be responsible for the day-to-day management of the Trust. The Board reviewed information pertaining to the Sub-Adviser’s organizational structure, senior management, financial condition, investment operations, and other relevant information pertaining to the Sub-Adviser. The Board considered compliance reports about JNAM and the Sub-Adviser from the Trust’s Chief Compliance Officer.

Based on the foregoing, the Board concluded that the Trust is likely to benefit from the nature, extent and quality of the services provided and to be provided, as applicable, by JNAM under the Advisory Agreement and the Sub-Adviser under the Sub-Advisory Agreement.

Investment Performance of the Trust

The Board took into account that the Trust had not commenced operations and there was no portfolio performance data to review. The Board reviewed the performance of the proposed Sub-Adviser’s investment mandate in the public credit market as compared to its benchmark index and peer group.

Costs of Services

The Board reviewed the fees to be paid to the Adviser and Sub-Adviser. The Board noted that the Trust’s sub-advisory fees would be paid by JNAM (not the Trust), therefore, would be neither a direct shareholder expense nor a direct influence on the Trust’s total expense ratio.

Further detail considered by the Board regarding the advisory and sub-advisory fees of the Trust is set forth below:

The Board considered that the Trust’s sub-advisory fee and total expense ratio are lower than their respective peer group averages, though the Trust’s advisory fee is higher. The Board further considered the Adviser’s statement that it believes the Trust’s proposed expenses are reasonable compared to similarly managed interval funds in the marketplace. The Board concluded that the fees are in the best interests of the Trust and its potential shareholders in light of the services to be provided.

Profitability

The Board considered information concerning the costs to be incurred and profits expected to be realized by JNAM and the Sub-Adviser. The Board determined that profits expected to be realized by JNAM and the Sub-Adviser were not unreasonable.

Economies of Scale

The Board considered whether the Trust’s proposed fees reflect the potential for economies of scale for the benefit of Trust shareholders. Based on information provided by JNAM and Neuberger Berman, the Board noted that the proposed advisory fee arrangements for the Trust contains breakpoints that decrease the fee rate as assets increase. The Board also noted that Neuberger Berman has agreed to breakpoints in the proposed sub-advisory fee rate. The Board also noted that the sub-advisory fee for the Trust will be paid by JNAM (not the Trust).

The Board concluded that the Trust’s fee schedules in some measure share economies of scale with potential shareholders.

Other Benefits to the Adviser and Sub-Adviser

In evaluating the benefits that may accrue to JNAM through its relationship with the Trust, the Board noted that JNAM and certain of its affiliates would serve the Trust in various capacities, including as adviser, administrator, and distributor, and receive compensation from the Trust in connection with providing services to the Trust. The Board noted that each service to be provided to the Trust by JNAM or one of its affiliates would be pursuant to a written agreement, which the Board would evaluate periodically as required by law. Lastly, the Board noted that certain affiliates of JNAM may receive benefits under the federal income tax laws with respect to tax deductions and credits.

In evaluating the benefits that may accrue to the Sub-Adviser through its relationships with the Trust, the Board noted that Neuberger Berman may receive indirect benefits in the form of soft dollar arrangements for portfolio securities trades placed with the Trust’s assets and may also develop additional investment advisory business with JNAM, the Trust or other clients of the Sub-Adviser as a result of its relationship with the Trust.

Item 7. Disclosure of Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures for Closed-End Management Investment Companies.

The Board has delegated responsibility for decisions regarding proxy voting for securities held by the Fund to the Sub-Adviser. The Sub-Adviser will vote such proxies in accordance with its proxy policies and procedures. The Board will periodically review the Fund’s proxy voting record.

Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures

I. Introduction and General Principles

A. Certain subsidiaries of Neuberger Berman Group LLC ("NB") have been delegated the authority and responsibility to vote the proxies of their respective investment advisory clients and exercise such responsibility according to these policies and procedures.

B. NB understands that proxy voting is an integral aspect of investment management. Accordingly, proxy voting must be conducted with the same degree of prudence and loyalty accorded any fiduciary or other obligation of an investment manager.

C. NB believes that the following policies and procedures are reasonably expected to ensure that proxy matters are conducted in the best interest of clients, in accordance with NB's fiduciary duties, applicable rules under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, fiduciary standards and responsibilities for ERISA clients set out in Department of Labor interpretations, the UK Stewardship Code, the Japan Stewardship Code and other applicable laws and regulations.

D. In instances where NB does not have authority to vote client proxies, it is the responsibility of the client to instruct the relevant custody bank or banks to mail proxy material directly to such client.

E. In all circumstances, NB will comply with specific client directions to vote proxies, whether or not such client directions specify voting proxies in a manner that is different from NB's proxy votes for other client accounts.

F. NB will seek to vote all shares under its authority so long as that action is not in conflict with client instructions. There may be circumstances under which NB may abstain from voting a client proxy, such as when NB believes voting would not be in clients' best interests (e.g., not voting in countries with share blocking or meetings in which voting would entail additional costs). NB understands that it must weigh the costs and benefits of voting proxy proposals relating to foreign securities and make an informed decision with respect to whether voting a given proxy proposal is prudent and solely in the interests of the clients and, in the case of an ERISA client and other accounts and clients subject to similar local laws, a plan's participants and beneficiaries. NB's decision in such circumstances will take into account the effect that the proxy vote, either by itself or together with other votes, is expected to have on the value of the client's investment and whether this expected effect would outweigh the cost of voting.

II. Responsibility and Oversight

A. NB has designated a Governance & Proxy Committee (“Proxy Committee”) with the responsibility for:

(i) developing, authorizing, implementing and updating NB’s policies and procedures;

(ii) administering and overseeing the governance and proxy voting processes; and

(iii) engaging and overseeing any third-party vendors as voting delegates to review, monitor and/or vote proxies. NB, at the recommendation of the Proxy Committee, has retained Glass, Lewis & Co., LLC (“Glass Lewis”) as its voting delegate.

B. The Proxy Committee will meet as frequently and in such manner as necessary or appropriate to fulfill its responsibilities.

C. The members of the Proxy Committee will be appointed from time to time and will include the Chief Investment Officer (Equities), the Director of Global Equity Research, the Head of ESG Investing, and certain portfolio managers. A senior member of the Legal and Compliance Department will advise the Proxy Committee and may vote as a full member of the Committee if a vote is needed to establish a quorum or in the event that a vote is needed to break a tie. The Director of Investment Stewardship serves in an advisory role to the Proxy Committee but may also vote as a full member of the Committee if a vote is needed to establish a quorum or in the event that a vote is needed to break a tie.

D. In the event that one or more members of the Proxy Committee are not independent with respect to a particularmatter, the remaining members of the Proxy Committee shall constitute an ad hoc independent subcommittee of the Proxy Committee, which will have full authority to act upon such matter.

III. Proxy Voting Guidelines

A. The Proxy Committee developed the Governance and Proxy Voting Guidelines (“Voting Guidelines”) based on our Governance and Engagement Principles. These Guidelines are updated as appropriate and generally at least on an annual basis. With input from certain of our investment professionals, the modifications are intended to reflect emerging corporate governance issues and themes. The Proxy Committee recognizes that in certain circumstances it may be in the interests of our clients to deviate from our Voting Guidelines.

B. Our views regarding corporate governance and engagement, and the related stewardship actions, are informed by our ESG Investing group, in consultation with professionals in the Legal & Compliance and Global Equity Research groups, among others. These insightful, experienced and dedicated groups enable us to think strategically about engagement and stewardship priorities.

C. We believe NB’s Voting Guidelines generally represent the voting positions most likely to support our clients’ best economic interests across a range of sectors and contexts. These guidelines are not intended to constrain our consideration of the specific issues facing a particular company on a particular vote, and so there will be times when we deviate from the Voting Guidelines.

D. In the event that a portfolio manager or other investment professional at Neuberger Berman believes that it is in the best interest of a client or clients to vote proxies other than as provided in NB’s Voting Guidelines,

the portfolio manager or other investment professional will submit in writing to the Proxy Committee the basis for his or her recommendation. The Proxy Committee will review this recommendation in the context of the specific circumstances of the proxy vote being considered and with the intention of voting in the best interest of our clients.

IV. Proxy Voting Procedures

A. NB will vote client proxies in accordance with a client’s specific request even if it is in a manner inconsistent with NB’s proxy votes for other client accounts. Such specific requests should be made in writing by the individual client or by an authorized officer, representative or named fiduciary of a client.

B. NB has engaged Glass Lewis as its advisor and voting agent to:

(i) provide research on proxy matters;

(ii) in a timely manner, notify NB of and provide additional solicitation materials made available reasonably in advance of a vote deadline;

(iii) vote proxies in accordance with NB’s Voting Guidelines or as otherwise instructed and submit such proxies in a timely manner;

(iv) handle other administrative functions of proxy voting;

(v) maintain records of proxy statements and additional solicitation materials received in connection with proxy votes and provide copies of such proxy statements promptly upon request; and

(vi) maintain records of votes cast.

C. Except in instances where clients have retained voting authority, NB will instruct custodians of client accounts to forward all proxy statements and materials received in respect of client accounts to Glass Lewis.

D. NB retains final authority and fiduciary responsibility for proxy voting.

V. Conflicts of Interest

A. Glass Lewis will vote proxies in accordance with the Voting Guidelines described in Section III or, in instances where a material conflict has been determined to exist, as Glass Lewis recommends. NB believes that this process is reasonably designed to address material conflicts of interest that may arise in conjunction with proxy voting decisions. Potential conflicts considered by the Proxy Committee when it is determining whether to deviate from NB’s Voting Guidelines include, among others: a material client relationship with the corporate issuer being considered; personal or business relationships between the portfolio managers and an executive officer; director, or director nominee of the issuer; joint business ventures; or a direct transactional relationship between the issuer and senior executives of NB.

B. In the event that an NB Investment Professional believes that it is in the best interest of a client or clients to vote proxies in a manner inconsistent with the Voting Guidelines described in Section III, such NB Investment Professional will contact a member of the Legal & Compliance Department advising the Proxy Committee and complete and sign a questionnaire in the form adopted from time to time. Such questionnaires will require specific information, including the reasons the NB Investment Professional believes a proxy vote in this manner is in the best interest of a client or clients and disclosure of specific ownership, business or personal relationship, or other matters that may raise a potential material conflict of interest with respect to the voting of the proxy. The Proxy Committee will meet with the NB Investment Professional to review the completed questionnaire and consider such other matters as it deems appropriate to determine that there is no material conflict of interest with respect to the voting of the proxy in the requested manner. The Proxy Committee shall document its consideration of such other matters. In the event that the Proxy Committee determines that such vote will not present a material conflict, the Proxy Committee will make a determination whether to vote such proxy as recommended by the NB Investment Professional. In the event of a determination to vote the proxy as recommended by the NB Investment Professional, an authorized member of the Proxy Committee will instruct Glass Lewis to vote in such manner with respect to the client or clients. In the event that the Proxy Committee determines that the voting of a proxy as recommended by the NB Investment Professional would not be appropriate, the Proxy Committee will:

(i) take no further action, in which case the Committee shall vote such proxy in accordance with the Voting Guidelines;

(ii) disclose such conflict to the client or clients and obtain written direction from the client with respect to voting the proxy;

(iii) suggest that the client or clients engage another party to determine how to vote the proxy; or

(iv) engage another independent third party to determine how to vote the proxy. A record of the Proxy Committee’s determinations shall be prepared and maintained in accordance with applicable policies.

C. In the event that the Voting Guidelines described in Section III do not address how a proxy should be voted the Proxy Committee will make a determination as to how the proxy should be voted. The Proxy Committee will consider such matters as it deems appropriate to determine how such proxy should be voted, including whether there is a material conflict of interest with respect to the voting of the proxy in accordance with its decision. The Proxy Committee shall document its consideration of such matters, and an authorized member of the Proxy Committee will instruct Glass Lewis to vote in such manner with respect to such client or clients.

D. Material conflicts cannot be resolved by simply abstaining from voting.

VI. Recordkeeping

NB will maintain records relating to the implementation of the Voting Guidelines and these procedures, including:

(i) a copy of the Voting Guidelines and these procedures, which shall be made available to clients upon request;

(ii) proxy statements received regarding client securities (which will be satisfied by relying on EDGAR or Glass Lewis);

(iii) a record of each vote cast (which Glass Lewis maintains on NB’s behalf);

(iv) a copy of each questionnaire completed by any NB Investment Professional under Section V above; and

(v) any other document created by NB that was material to a determination regarding the voting of proxies on behalf of clients or that memorializes the basis for that decision. Such proxy voting books and records shall be maintained in an easily accessible place, which may include electronic means, for a period of five years, the first two by the Legal & Compliance Department. Material conflicts cannot be resolved by simply abstaining from voting.

VII. Engagement and Monitoring

Consistent with the firm’s active management strategies, NB portfolio managers and members of the Global Equity Research team continuously monitor material investment factors at portfolio companies. NB professionals remain informed of trends and best practices related to the effective fiduciary administration of proxy voting. NB will make revisions to its Voting Guidelines and related procedures document when it determines it is appropriate or when we observe the opportunity to materially improve outcomes for our clients. Additionally, we will regularly undertake a review of selected voting and engagement cases to better learn how to improve the monitoring of our portfolio companies and the effectiveness of our stewardship activities.

VIII. Securities Lending

Some NB products or client accounts where NB has authority and responsibility to vote the proxies may participate in a securities lending program administered by NB. Where a security is currently on loan ahead of a shareholder meeting, NB will generally attempt to terminate the loan in time to vote those shares. Where a security that is potentially subject to being loaned is eligible to be voted in a stockholder meeting a portfolio manager may restrict the security from lending. NB maintains the list of securities restricted from lending and receives daily updates on upcoming proxy events from the custodian.

IX. Disclosure

Neuberger Berman will publicly disclose all voting records of its co-mingled funds (Undertakings for Collective Investment in Transferable Securities [UCITS] and mutual funds), which can be found at [https://www.nb.com/en/us/esg/nb-votes -- Neuberger Berman cannot publicly disclose vote level records for

separate accounts without express permission of the client. Neuberger Berman will publicly disclose aggregate reporting on at least an annual basis for all votes cast across co- mingled and separate accounts. Neuberger Berman welcomes the opportunity to discuss the rationale for a given vote with investee companies as part of our ongoing engagement activities. Neuberger Berman may also choose to provide broad explanations for certain voting positions on important or topical issues in advance of the vote. Additionally, our proxy voting guidelines can be found on our website: https://www.nb.com/en/us/esg/nb-votes.

Portfolio Manager Compensation Structure

Neuberger Berman’s compensation philosophy is one that focuses on rewarding performance and incentivizing Neuberger Berman’s employees. Neuberger Berman is also focused on creating a compensation process that it believes is fair, transparent, and competitive with the market.

Compensation for portfolio managers consists of either (i) fixed (salary) and variable (discretionary bonus) compensation but is more heavily weighted on the variable portion of total compensation (ii) on a production model, whereby formulaic compensation is paid from the team compensation pool on a fixed schedule (typically monthly) or (iii) a combination of salary, bonus and/or production compensation. Compensation is paid from a team compensation pool made available to the portfolio management team with which the portfolio manager is associated. The size of the team compensation pool is determined based on a formula that takes into consideration a number of factors including the pre-tax revenue that is generated by that particular portfolio management team, less certain adjustments. The amount allocated to individual Portfolio Managers is determined on the basis of a variety of criteria, including investment performance (including the aggregate multi-year track record), utilization of central resources (including research, sales and operations/support), business building to further the longer-term sustainable success of the investment team, effective team/people management, and overall contribution to the success of Neuberger Berman. Certain portfolio managers may manage products other than mutual funds, such as high net worth separate accounts. The share of pre-tax revenue a portfolio manager receives pursuant to any such arrangement will vary based on certain revenue thresholds.

The terms of Neuberger Berman’s long-term retention incentives are as follows:

Employee-Owned Equity. Certain employees (primarily senior leadership and investment professionals) participated in Neuberger Berman’s equity ownership structure, which was launched as part of the firm’s management buyout in 2009 and designed to incentivize and retain key personnel. Neuberger Berman also offers an equity acquisition program which allows employees a more direct opportunity to invest in Neuberger Berman. For confidentiality and privacy reasons, Neuberger Berman cannot disclose individual equity holdings or program participation.

Contingent Compensation. Certain employees may participate in Neuberger Berman’s Contingent Compensation Plan (the “CCP”) to serve as a means to further align the interests of Neuberger Berman’s employees with the success of the firm and the interests of Neuberger Berman’s clients, and to reward continued employment. Under the CCP, up to 20% of a participant’s annual total compensation in excess of $500,000 is contingent and subject to vesting. The contingent amounts are maintained in a notional account that is tied to the performance of a portfolio of Neuberger Berman investment strategies as specified by the firm on an employee-by-employee basis.

By having a participant’s contingent compensation tied to Neuberger Berman investment strategies, each employee is given further incentive to operate as a prudent risk manager and to collaborate with colleagues to maximize performance across all business areas. In the case of members of investment teams, including portfolio managers, the CCP is currently structured so that such employees have exposure to the investment strategies of their respective teams as well as the broader Neuberger Berman portfolio.

Restrictive Covenants. Most investment professionals, including portfolio managers, are subject to notice periods and restrictive covenants which include employee and client non-solicit restrictions as well as restrictions on the use of confidential information. In addition, depending on participation levels, certain senior professionals who have received equity grants have also agreed to additional notice and transition periods and, in some cases, non-compete restrictions. For confidentiality and privacy reasons, Neuberger Berman cannot disclose individual restrictive covenant arrangements.

Conflicts of Interest

Actual or apparent conflicts of interest may arise when a portfolio manager for Neuberger Berman has day-to-day management responsibilities with respect to more than one fund or other account. The management of multiple funds and accounts (including proprietary accounts) may give rise to actual or potential conflicts of interest if the funds and accounts have different or similar objectives, benchmarks, time horizons, and fees, as the portfolio manager must allocate his or her time and investment ideas across multiple funds and accounts. The portfolio manager may execute transactions for another fund or account that may adversely impact the value of securities or instruments held by a fund, and which may include transactions that are directly contrary to the positions taken by a fund. For example, a portfolio manager may engage in short sales of securities or instruments for another account that are the same type of securities or instruments in which a fund it manages also invests. In such a case, the portfolio manager could be seen as harming the performance of the fund for the benefit of the account engaging in short sales if the short sales cause the market value of the securities or instruments to fall. Additionally, if a portfolio manager identifies a limited investment opportunity that may be suitable for more than one fund or other account, a fund may not be able to take full advantage of that opportunity. There may also be regulatory limitations that prevent a fund from participating in a transaction that another account or fund managed by the same portfolio manager will invest. For example, the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, prohibits the mutual funds from participating in certain transactions with certain of its affiliates and from participating in “joint” transactions alongside certain of its affiliates. The prohibition on “joint” transactions may limit the ability of the funds to participate alongside its affiliates in privately negotiated transactions unless the transaction is otherwise permitted under existing regulatory guidance if granted, and may reduce the amount of privately negotiated transactions that the funds may participate in. Further, Neuberger Berman may take an investment position or action for a fund or account that may be different from, inconsistent with, or have different rights than (e.g., voting rights, dividend or repayment priorities or other features that may conflict with one another), an action or position taken for one or more other funds or accounts, including a fund, having similar or different objectives. A conflict may also be created by investing in different parts of an issuer’s capital structure (e.g., equity or debt, or different positions in the debt structure). Those positions and actions may adversely impact, or in some instances benefit, one or more affected accounts, including the funds. Potential conflicts may also arise because portfolio decisions and related actions regarding a position held for a fund or another account may not be in the best interests of a position held by another fund or account having similar or different objectives. If one account were to buy or sell portfolio securities or instruments shortly before another account bought or sold the same securities or instruments, it could affect the price paid or received by the second account. Securities selected for funds or accounts other than a fund may outperform the securities selected for the fund. Finally, a conflict of interest may arise if Neuberger Berman and a portfolio manager have a financial incentive to favor one account over another, such as a performance-based management fee that applies to one account but not all funds or accounts for which the portfolio manager is responsible. In the ordinary course of operations certain businesses within Neuberger Berman organization (the “Firm”) will seek access to material non-public information. For instance, Neuberger Berman portfolio managers may obtain and utilize material non-public information in purchasing loans and other debt instruments and certain privately placed or restricted equity instruments. From time to time, Neuberger Berman portfolio managers will be offered the opportunity on behalf of applicable clients to participate on a creditors or other similar committee in connection with restructuring or other “work-out” activity, which participation could provide access to material non-public information.

Neuberger Berman maintains procedures that address the process by which material non-public information may be acquired intentionally by Neuberger Berman. When considering whether to acquire material non-public information, Neuberger Berman will attempt to balance the interests of all clients, taking into consideration relevant factors, including the extent of the prohibition on trading that would occur, the size of Neuberger Berman’s existing position in the issuer, if any, and the value of the information as it relates to the investment decision-making process. The acquisition of material non-public information would likely give rise to a conflict of interest since Neuberger Berman may be prohibited from rendering investment advice to clients regarding the securities or instruments of such issuer and thereby potentially limiting the universe of securities or instruments that Neuberger Berman, including a fund, may purchase or potentially limiting the ability of Neuberger Berman, including a fund, to sell such securities or instruments. Similarly, where Neuberger Berman declines access to (or otherwise does not receive or share within Neuberger Berman) material non-public information regarding an issuer, the portfolio managers could potentially base investment decisions with respect to assets of such issuer solely on public information, thereby limiting the amount of information available to the portfolio managers in connection with such investment decisions. In determining whether or not to elect to receive material non-public information, Neuberger Berman will endeavor to act fairly to its clients as a whole. Neuberger Berman reserves the right to decline access to material non-public information, including declining to join a creditors or similar committee.

Neuberger Berman and the Fund have adopted certain compliance procedures which are designed to address these types of conflicts. However, there is no guarantee that such procedures will detect each and every situation in which a conflict arises.
