Market Review: Record issuance continues into 2011
The six-month period ended April 30, 2011 was a positive one for fixed income. The high yield bond market posted gains, remaining relatively resilient despite volatility related to the events in Japan and continued unrest in the Middle East. The Bank of America Merrill Lynch US High Yield Master II Constrained Index, the Fund's benchmark, returned 6.16% for the period. Additionally, high yield spreads tightened by 1.21% versus Treasuries to end the period at +501 basis points, while yields for high yield bonds ended the period at 6.79% — a decrease of 0.55%.
Lower-rated classes continued to outperform during the period with the most aggressive CC-rated securities returning 23.35%, followed by CCC-rated securities, rising 9.63%. In contrast, BB-rated securities underperformed, returning 4.45%, while B-rated securities performed generally in-line with the Index, gaining 6.26%.
The par-weighted high yield bond default rate, as defined by JPMorgan, has remained largely unchanged in the past six months and ended the period at 0.80% — well below the 25-year average of 4.3%. The percentage of "distressed" securities, defined as those trading at spreads of more than 1,000 basis points over Treasuries, fell steadily throughout 2010 and has continued to decrease in 2011, ending April at 4.5% (the long-term average level has been 15%).
High yield mutual funds, according to Lipper, continued to experience inflows, gathering nearly $8 billion in additional assets during the period, while new issuance was also above average. In fact, according to BofA Merrill Lynch,

Credit Suisse Floating Rate High Income Fund
Semiannual Investment Adviser's Report (continued)
April 30, 2011 (unaudited)
April was the eighth time in the past 13 months that high yield issuance was over $30 billion. Year-to-date, new issuance has reached $141 billion. For 2009 and 2010, 60% of the high yield new issues were used for refinancing purposes. In 2011, this trend is continuing with approximately 54% of issues being used for refinancing.
Strategic Review and Outlook: Cautiously optimistic going forward
For the semiannual period ended April 30, 2011, the Fund outperformed the benchmark. This was due, in part, to superior security selection in — and an overweight to — the gaming sector, which contributed positively to returns. Additionally, the Fund benefited from security selection in the leisure and forestry/paper sectors. In contrast, security selection in software/services hurt relative returns. From a ratings perspective, superior security selection in B-rated bonds and an underweight to BB-rated securities helped performance.
As noted, new issuance in the high yield markets remains at record levels, allowing us to look for opportunities in bonds that are more senior in the capital structure and priced at attractive yields. Portfolio exposures remain defensive, with overweights to B-rated bonds with the best risk-return profiles and underweights to more aggressive CC-rated bonds. We are focusing on securities with less interest rate sensitivity and maintaining exposure to shorter duration bonds. We have a positive view on the energy, technology, cable, and broadcast sectors, but remain cautious with respect to consumer-driven industries where asset quality is low.
Record new issuance in debt markets has continued to provide a broad selection of non-investment grade issuers with the capital necessary to refinance and extend debt maturities. The improved liquidity, combined with a stabilizing fundamental backdrop, has significantly decreased expectations for upcoming defaults. Additionally, bond recovery rates, the price at which a defaulted security is trading one month post-default, have risen back to historical averages. Though fundamentals have improved for individual companies and technicals remain strong, we remain cautious amidst inconsistent economic trends, geopolitical turmoil, and the Federal Reserve's potential actions to address inflation.
We would also like to note that effective June 3, 2011, the Credit Suisse High Income Fund will change its name to the "Credit Suisse Floating Rate High Income Fund." While the fund's strategy will continue to focus on generating income from investing in the debt of non-investment grade companies, the portfolio will emphasize the senior secured loan asset class rather than high yield

Senior secured floating rate loans ("Senior Loans") are subject to the risk that a court could subordinate a Senior Loan, which typically holds the most senior position in the issuer's capital structure, to presently existing or future indebtedness or take other action detrimental to the holders of Senior Loans.
High yield bonds are lower-quality bonds that are also known as "junk bonds." Such bonds entail greater risks than those found in higher-rated securities.
In addition to historical information, this report contains forward-looking statements, which may concern, among other things, domestic and foreign market, industry and economic trends and developments and government regulation and their potential impact on the Fund's investments. These statements are subject to risks and uncertainties and actual trends, developments and regulations in the future, and their impact on the Fund could be materially different from those projected, anticipated or implied. The Fund has no obligation to update or revise forward-looking statements.

Returns represent past performance and include change in share price and reinvestment of dividends and capital gains. Past performance cannot guarantee future results. The current performance of the Fund may be lower or higher than the figures shown. Returns and share price will fluctuate, and redemption value may be more or less than original cost. The performance results do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. Performance information current to the most recent month-end is available at www.credit-suisse.com/us.
The annualized gross expense ratios are 1.38% for Common Class shares, 1.63% for Class A shares, 2.40% for Class B shares and 2.39% for Class C shares. The annualized net expense ratios after fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements are 0.70% for Common Class shares, 0.95% for Class A shares, 1.70% for Class B shares and 1.70% for Class C shares.
1 Fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements may reduce expenses for the Fund, without which performance would be lower. Waivers and/or reimbursements may be discontinued at any time.

Information About Your Fund's Expenses
As an investor of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: ongoing expenses and transaction costs. Ongoing expenses include management fees, distribution and service (12b-1) fees and other Fund expenses. Examples of transaction costs include sales charges (loads), redemption fees and account maintenance fees, which are not shown in this section and which would result in higher total expenses. The following table is intended to help you understand your ongoing expenses of investing in the Fund and to help you compare these expenses with the ongoing expenses of investing in other mutual funds. The table is based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the six month period ended April 30, 2011.
The table illustrates your Fund's expenses in two ways:
• Actual Fund Return. This helps you estimate the actual dollar amount of ongoing expenses paid on a $1,000 investment in the Fund using the Fund's actual return during the period. To estimate the expenses you paid over the period, simply divide your 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 "Expenses Paid per $1,000" line under the share class you hold.
• Hypothetical 5% Fund Return. This helps you to compare your Fund's ongoing expenses with those of other mutual funds using the Fund's actual expense ratio and a hypothetical rate of return of 5% per year before expenses. Examples using a 5% hypothetical fund return may be found in the shareholder reports of other mutual funds. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period.
Please note that the expenses shown in these tables are meant to highlight your ongoing expenses only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads) or redemption fees. If these transaction costs had been included, your costs would have been higher. The "Expenses Paid per $1,000" line of the tables is useful in comparing ongoing expenses only and will not help you determine the relative total expenses of owning different funds.

* Expenses are equal to the Fund's annualized expense ratio for each share class, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by the number of days in the most recent fiscal half year period, then divided by 365.
The "Expenses Paid per $1,000" and the "Annualized Expense Ratios" in the tables are based on actual expenses paid by the Fund during the period, net of fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements. If those fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements had not been in effect, the Fund's actual expenses would have been higher.

Credit Suisse Floating Rate High Income Fund
Notes to Financial Statements
April 30, 2011 (unaudited)
Note 1. Organization
Credit Suisse Floating Rate High Income Fund (the "Fund"), a portfolio of the Credit Suisse Opportunity Funds (the "Trust"), a Delaware business trust, is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), as a diversified open-end management investment company that seeks to provide a high level of current income and, secondarily, capital appreciation. The Fund was organized under the laws of the State of Delaware as a business trust on May 31, 1995. Effective June 3, 2011, the name of the Fund was changed from Credit Suisse High Income Fund.
The Fund offers four classes of shares: Common Class shares, Class A shares, Class B shares and Class C shares. Each class of shares represents an equal pro rata interest in the Fund, except that they bear different expenses, which reflect the differences in the range of services provided to them. Class A shares are sold subject to a front-end sales charge of 4.75%. Class B shares are sold subject to a contingent deferred sales charge which declines from 4.00% to zero depending on the period of time the shares are held. Class B shares automatically convert to Class A shares after 8 years. Class C shares are sold subject to a contingent deferred sales charge of 1.00% if the shares are redeemed within the first year of purchase.
Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies
A) SECURITY VALUATION — The net asset value of the Fund is determined daily as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange, Inc. (the "Exchange") on each day the Exchange is open for business. Debt securities with a remaining maturity greater than 60 days are valued in accordance with the price supplied by a pricing service, which may use a matrix, formula or other objective method that takes into consideration market indices, yield curves and other specific adjustments. Debt obligations that will mature in 60 days or less are valued on the basis of amortized cost, which approximates market value, unless it is determined that using this method would not represent fair value. Debt securities are generally categorized as Level 2. Equity investments are valued at market value, which is generally determined using the closing price on the exchange or market on which the security is primarily traded at the time of valuation (the "Valuation Time"). If no sales are reported, equity investments are generally valued at the most recent bid quotation as of the Valuation Time or at the lowest asked quotation in the case of a short sale of securities. Equity investments are generally categorized as Level 1. Forward currency contracts are valued at the prevailing forward exchange rate of the underlying currencies and are generally categorized as Level 2. Investments

Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies
in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each business day and are generally categorized as Level 1. Securities and other assets for which market quotations are not readily available, or whose values have been materially affected by events occurring before the Fund's Valuation Time but after the close of the securities' primary markets, are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by, or under the direction of, the Board of Trustees under procedures established by the Board of Trustees and are generally categorized as Level 3. The Fund may utilize a service provided by an independent third party which has been approved by the Board of Trustees to fair value certain securities. When fair value pricing is employed, the prices of securities used by a fund to calculate its net asset value may differ from quoted or published prices for the same securities.
In accordance with the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"), the Fund discloses the fair value of its investments in a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure the fair value. In accordance with GAAP, fair value is defined as the price that the Fund would receive upon selling an investment in a timely transaction to an independent buyer in the principal or most advantageous market of the investment. GAAP established a three-tier hierarchy to maximize the use of observable market data and minimize the use of unobservable inputs and to establish classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. Inputs refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk, for example, the risk inherent in a particular valuation technique used to measure fair value including such a pricing model and/or the risk inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. Inputs may be observable or unobservable. Observable inputs are inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the reporting entity's own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. In accordance with the Fund's valuation procedures, factors used in determining value may include, but are not limited to, the type of the security, the size of the holding, the initial cost of the security, the existence of any contractual restrictions on the security's disposition, the price and extent of public trading in similar securities of the issuer or of comparable companies, quotations or evaluated prices from broker-dealers and/or pricing services,

information obtained from the issuer, analysts, and/or the appropriate stock exchange (for exchange-traded securities), an analysis of the company's or issuer's financial statements, an evaluation of the forces that influence the issuer and the market(s) in which the security is purchased and sold and with respect to debt securities, the maturity, coupon, creditworthiness, currency denomination, and the movement of the market in which the security is normally traded. The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized in the three broad Levels listed below.
• Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical investments
• Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)
• Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
The following is a summary of the inputs used as of April 30, 2011 in valuing the Fund's investments carried at value:
| | Level 1 | | Level 2 | | Level 3 | | Total | |
Investments in Securities | |
Corporate Bonds | | $ | — | | | $ | 69,662,716 | | | $ | — | | | $ | 69,662,716 | | |

*Other financial instruments include futures, forwards and swap contracts.
The Fund adopted FASB amendments to authoritative guidance which requires the Fund to disclose details of significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 measurements and the reasons for the transfers. For the six months ended April 30, 2011, there were no significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2. The only investment held by the Fund whose fair value was determined using Level 3 inputs had a value of $0 at April 30, 2011.

B) DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES — The Fund adopted amendments to authoritative guidance on disclosures about derivative instruments and hedging activities which require that the Fund disclose (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how derivative instruments and hedging activities are accounted for, and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedging activities affect a fund's financial position, financial performance, and cash flows.
Fair Values of Derivative Instruments as of April 30, 2011
| | Asset Derivatives | | Liability Derivatives | |
| | Balance Sheet Location | | Fair Value | | Balance Sheet Location | | Fair Value | |
Forward Foreign Currency Contracts | | Net Assets - Unrealized Appreciation | | $ | 0 | | | Liabilities - Unrealized Depreciation | | $ | 36,245 | * | |
*Includes cumulative appreciation/depreciation of forward foreign currency contracts as reported in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and Notes to Financial Statements.
Effect of Derivative Instruments on the Statement of Operations
Amount of Realized Gain (Loss) on Derivatives Recognized in Income Forward Foreign Currency Contracts | | $ | (47,112 | ) | |
Change in Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) on Derivatives Recognized in Income Forward Foreign Currency Contracts | | $ | (49,174 | ) | |
The notional amount of forward foreign currency contracts at period end are reflected in the Notes to Financial Statements and the average volume of these open positions relative to the net assets is generally representative of open positions throughout the reporting period for the Fund.
C) FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSACTIONS — The books and records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are recorded at the current prevailing exchange rates. All assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at the current exchange rate at the end of the period. Translation gains or losses resulting from changes in the exchange rate during the reporting period and realized gains and losses on the settlement of foreign currency transactions are reported in the results of operations for the current period. The Fund does not isolate that portion of realized gains and losses on investments in equity securities which is due to changes in the foreign exchange rate from that which is due to changes in market prices of equity securities. The Fund isolates that portion of realized gains and losses on investments in

Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies
debt securities which is due to changes in the foreign exchange rate from that which is due to changes in market prices of debt securities.
D) SECURITY TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME — Security transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. The Fund amortizes premiums and accretes discounts using the effective interest method. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Certain expenses are class-specific expenses and vary by class. Income, expenses (excluding class-specific expenses) and realized/unrealized gains/losses are allocated proportionately to each class of shares based upon the relative net asset value of the outstanding shares of that class. The cost of investments sold is determined by use of the specific identification method for both financial reporting and income tax purposes.
E) DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS — Dividends from net investment income are declared daily and paid monthly. Distributions of net realized capital gains, if any, are declared and paid at least annually. However, to the extent that a net realized capital gain can be reduced by a capital loss carryforward, such gain will not be distributed. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP.
F) FEDERAL INCOME TAXES — No provision is made for federal taxes as it is the Fund's intention to continue to qualify for and elect the tax treatment applicable to regulated investment companies under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and to make the requisite distributions to its shareholders, which will be sufficient to relieve it from federal income and excise taxes.
The Fund adopted the authoritative guidance for uncertainty in income taxes and recognizes a tax benefit or liability from an uncertain position only if it is more likely than not that the position is sustainable based solely on its technical merits and consideration of the relevant taxing authority's widely understood administrative practices and procedures. The Fund has reviewed its current tax positions and has determined that no provision for income tax is required in the Fund's financial statements. The Fund's federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.
G) 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
35
Credit Suisse Floating Rate High Income Fund
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
April 30, 2011 (unaudited)
Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
H) SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS — The Fund, together with other funds/portfolios advised by Credit Suisse Asset Management, LLC ("Credit Suisse"), an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Credit Suisse Group AG, pools available cash into a short-term variable rate time deposit issued by State Street Bank and Trust Company ("SSB"), the Fund's custodian. The short-term time deposit issued by SSB is a variable rate account classified as a short-term investment.
I) FORWARD FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS — The Fund may enter into forward foreign currency contracts for the purchase or sale of a specific foreign currency at a fixed price on a future date. Risks may arise upon entering into these contracts from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts and from unanticipated movements in the value of a foreign currency. The Fund will enter into forward foreign currency contracts primarily for hedging foreign currency risk. Forward foreign currency contracts are adjusted by the daily forward exchange rate of the underlying currency and any gains or losses are recorded for financial statement purposes as unrealized until the contract settlement date or an offsetting position is entered into. At April 30, 2011, the Fund had the following open forward foreign currency contracts:
Forward Foreign Currency to be Purchased (Local) | | Forward Foreign Currency to be Sold (Local) | | Expiration Date | | Counterparty | | Value on Settlement Date | | Current Value | | Unrealized (Depreciation) | |
USD 325,042 | | GBP | | | | | 200,000 | | | 07/14/11 | | Morgan Stanley | | $ | (325,042 | ) | | $ | (333,281 | ) | | $ | (8,239 | ) | |
USD 1,141,716 | | EUR | | | | | 790,000 | | | 07/14/11 | | Morgan Stanley | | | (1,141,716 | ) | | | (1,169,722 | ) | | | (28,006 | ) | |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | $ | (36,245 | ) | |
Currency Abbreviations:
EUR - Euro Currency
GBP - British Pound
USD - United States Dollar
J) SECURITIES LENDING — Loans of securities are required at all times to be secured by collateral at least equal to 102% of the market value of domestic securities on loan (including any accrued interest thereon) and 105% of the market value of foreign securities on loan (including any accrued interest thereon). Cash collateral received by the Fund in connection with securities lending activity may be pooled together with cash collateral for other funds/portfolios advised by Credit Suisse and may be invested in a variety of
36
Credit Suisse Floating Rate High Income Fund
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
April 30, 2011 (unaudited)
Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies
investments, including funds advised by SSB, the Fund's securities lending agent, or money market instruments. However, in the event of default or bankruptcy by the other party to the agreement, realization and/or retention of the collateral may be subject to legal proceedings.
SSB has been engaged by the Fund to act as the Fund's securities lending agent. The Fund's securities lending arrangement provides that the Fund and SSB will share the net income earned from securities lending activities. During the six months ended April 30, 2011, total earnings from the Fund's investment in cash collateral received in connection with securities lending arrangements was $43,260, of which $6,144 was rebated to borrowers (brokers). The Fund retained $30,334 in income from the cash collateral investment, and SSB, as lending agent, was paid $6,782. Securities lending income is accrued as earned.
K) OTHER — Lower-rated debt securities (commonly known as "junk bonds") possess speculative characteristics and are subject to greater market fluctuations and risk of lost income and principal than higher-rated debt securities for a variety of reasons. Also, during an economic downturn or substantial period of rising interest rates, highly leveraged issuers may experience financial stress which would adversely affect their ability to service their principal and interest payment obligations, to meet projected business goals and to obtain additional financing.
In addition, periods of economic uncertainty and changes can be expected to result in increased volatility of market prices of lower-rated debt securities and the Fund's net asset value.
L) SUBSEQUENT EVENTS - In preparing the financial statements as of April 30, 2011, management considered the impact of subsequent events for potential recognition or disclosure in these financial statements.
Note 3. Transactions with Affiliates and Related Parties

Reinvested dividends and distributions are not subject to the fee. The fee is charged based on the value of shares at redemption, is paid directly to the Fund and becomes part of the Fund's daily net asset value calculation. When shares are redeemed that are subject to the fee, reinvested dividends are redeemed first, followed by the shares held longest.

Note 7. Acquisition of Credit Suisse High Yield Fund
On August 27, 2010, Credit Suisse Floating Rate High Income Fund acquired all of the net assets of Credit Suisse High Yield Fund, an open-end investment company, pursuant to a plan of reorganization approved by the Board of Trustees on May 3, 2010. The purpose of the transaction was to combine two funds managed by Credit Suisse with comparable investment objectives and strategies. The acquisition was accomplished by a tax-free exchange of 4,493,884 Common shares of Credit Suisse Floating Rate High Income Fund for 3,321,931 Institutional shares of Credit Suisse High Yield Fund valued at $28,998,037. The investment portfolio of Credit Suisse High Yield Fund had a fair value at August 27, 2010 of $28,423,765 and identified cost of $28,896,540, which were the principal assets acquired by Credit Suisse Floating Rate High Income Fund. For financial reporting purposes, assets received and shares issued by Credit Suisse Floating Rate High Income Fund were recorded at fair value; however the cost basis of the investments received from Credit Suisse High Yield Fund were carried forward to align ongoing reporting of Credit Suisse Floating Rate High Income Fund's realized and unrealized gains and losses with amounts distributable to shareholders for tax purposes. Immediately prior to the merger, the net assets of Credit Suisse Floating Rate High Income Fund were $47,219,734.

Note 7. Acquisition of Credit Suisse High Yield Fund
Credit Suisse Floating Rate High Income Fund pro forma results of operations for the year ended October 31, 2010 are as follows:
Net investment income | | $ | 5,779,0751 | | |
Net gain from investments and foreign currency related item | | | 5,531,5552 | | |
Net increase in net assets resulting from operations | | $ | 11,310,630 | | |
Because the combined investment portfolios have been managed as a single integrated portfolio since the acquisition was completed, it is not practicable to separate the amounts of net investment income and net gain on investments of Credit Suisse High Yield Fund that have been included in Credit Suisse Floating Rate High Income Fund's statement of operations since August 27, 2010.
1 $4,086,587 as reported, plus $1,598,188 for Credit Suisse High Yield Fund, premerger, plus $94,300 of pro-forma gross expenses eliminated.
2 $5,107,671 as reported, plus $423,884 for Credit Suisse High Yield Fund, respectively, premerger.
Note 8. Contingencies
In the normal course of business, the Fund may provide general indemnifications pursuant to certain contracts and organizational documents. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund and, therefore, cannot be estimated; however, based on experience, the risk of loss from such claims is considered remote.
42
Credit Suisse Floating Rate High Income Fund
Board Approval of Advisory Agreement (unaudited)
In approving the renewal of the current Advisory Agreement, the Board of Trustees (the "Board") of the Credit Suisse Floating Rate High Income Fund (the "Fund"), including a majority of the Trustees who are not "interested persons" of the Fund as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "Independent Trustees"), at a meeting held on November 15 and 16, 2010, considered the following factors:
Investment Advisory Fee Rates and Expenses
The Board reviewed and considered the contractual advisory fee rate of 0.70% of the Fund's average daily net assets less than or equal to $100 million and 0.50% of the Fund's average daily net assets greater than $100 million ("Contractual Advisory Fee") for the Fund, in light of the extent and quality of the advisory services provided by Credit Suisse Asset Management, LLC ("Credit Suisse"). The Board also reviewed and considered the voluntary fee waivers currently in place for the Fund and considered the actual fee rate of 0.06% paid by the Fund after taking waivers and breakpoints into account ("Net Advisory Fee") as of September 30, 2010. The Board acknowledged that voluntary fee waivers could be discontinued at any time. The Board noted that Credit Suisse recently increased the voluntary fee waiver in connection with the reorganization of the High Yield Fund into the Fund.
Additionally, the Board received and considered information comparing the Fund's Contractual Advisory Fee, Net Advisory Fee and the Fund's overall expenses with those of funds in both the relevant expense group ("Expense Group") and universe of funds ("Expense Universe") provided by Lipper Inc., an independent provider of investment company data.
Nature, Extent and Quality of the Services under the Advisory Agreement
The Board received and considered information regarding the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Fund by Credit Suisse under the Advisory Agreement. The Board also noted information received at regular meetings throughout the year related to the services rendered by Credit Suisse. The Board reviewed background information about Credit Suisse, including its Form ADV. The Board considered the background and experience of Credit Suisse's senior management and the expertise of, and the amount of attention given to the Fund by, senior personnel of Credit Suisse. In addition, the Board reviewed the qualifications, backgrounds and responsibilities of the portfolio management team primarily responsible for the day-to-day portfolio management of the Fund and the extent of the resources devoted to research
43
Credit Suisse Floating Rate High Income Fund
Board Approval of Advisory Agreement (unaudited) (continued)
and analysis of actual and potential investments. The Board evaluated the ability of Credit Suisse, based on its resources, reputation and other attributes, to attract and retain qualified investment professionals including research, advisory, and supervisory personnel. The Board also received and considered information about the nature, extent and quality of services and fee rates offered to other Credit Suisse clients for comparable services.
Fund Performance
The Board received and considered performance results of the Fund over time, along with comparisons both to the relevant performance group ("Performance Group") and universe of funds ("Performance Universe") for the Fund. The Board was provided with a description of the methodology used to arrive at the funds included in the Performance Group and the Performance Universe.
Credit Suisse Profitability
The Board received and considered a profitability analysis of Credit Suisse based on the fees payable under the Advisory Agreement for the Fund, including any fee waivers, as well as other relationships between the Fund on the one hand and Credit Suisse affiliates on the other. The Board also considered Credit Suisse's methodology for allocating costs to the Fund, recognizing that cost allocation methodologies are inherently subjective. The Board received profitability information for the other funds in the Credit Suisse family of funds.
Economies of Scale
The Board considered information regarding whether there have been economies of scale with respect to the management of the Fund, whether the Fund has appropriately benefited from any economies of scale, and whether there is potential for realization of any further economies of scale. Accordingly, the Board considered whether the breakpoints in the Fund's advisory fee structure were appropriate or reasonable taking into consideration economies of scale or other efficiencies that might accrue from increases in the Fund's asset levels.
44
Credit Suisse Floating Rate High Income Fund
Board Approval of Advisory Agreement (unaudited) (continued)
Other Benefits to Credit Suisse
The Board considered other benefits received by Credit Suisse and its affiliates as a result of their relationship with the Fund. Such benefits include, among others, benefits potentially derived from an increase in Credit Suisse's businesses as a result of its relationship with the Fund (such as the ability to market to shareholders other financial products offered by Credit Suisse and its affiliates) and the fees paid to affiliates of Credit Suisse for co-administration and distribution services.
The Board considered the standards applied in seeking best execution and reviewed Credit Suisse's method for allocating portfolio investment opportunities among its advisory clients.
Other Factors and Broader Review
As discussed above, the Board reviews detailed materials received from Credit Suisse as part of the annual re-approval process. The Board also reviews and assesses the quality of the services that the Fund receives throughout the year. In this regard, the Board reviews reports of Credit Suisse at least quarterly, which include, among other things, detailed portfolio and market reviews, detailed fund performance reports and Credit Suisse's compliance procedures.
Conclusions
In selecting Credit Suisse, and approving the Advisory Agreement and the investment advisory fee under such agreement, the Board concluded that:
• Although the combined Contractual Advisory Fee and co-administration fee were above the median of the Expense Group, the fees were reasonable, recognizing that the Net Advisory Fee was among the lowest of the Expense Group.
• The Fund's performance was at or above the median of its Performance Group for the one, two, four, five and ten year periods, and was above the median of its Performance Universe for all periods. The Board noted the changes to the Fund during the past year, including the reorganization of the High Yield Fund into the Floating Rate High Income Fund.
• The Board was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of the investment advisory services provided to the Fund by Credit Suisse and that, based on dialogue with management and counsel, the services provided by Credit Suisse under the Advisory Agreement are typical of,
45
Credit Suisse Floating Rate High Income Fund
Board Approval of Advisory Agreement (unaudited) (continued)
and consistent with, those provided to similar mutual funds by other investment advisers.
• In light of the costs of providing investment management and other services to the Fund, and Credit Suisse's ongoing commitment to the Fund and willingness to waive fees, Credit Suisse's profitability based on fees payable under the Advisory Agreement, as well as other ancillary benefits that Credit Suisse and its affiliates received, were considered reasonable.
• The Fund's current fee structure was considered reasonable in light of the fee waivers, the Net Advisory Fee and the existence of breakpoints, which enable shareholders to share in economies of scale as the Fund grows.
No single factor reviewed by the Board was identified by the Board as the principal factor in determining whether to approve the Advisory Agreement. The Independent Trustees were advised by separate independent legal counsel throughout the process.
